The T-9 Doberman Battle Armor, a hyper advanced quadruped robotic drone using a Battle Armor type chassis.
This exoskeleton was created by Dragon Cat for Cannonshop & monbvol collaboration stories, Revenants of the Star League.
Overview[]
The T-9s are 4-legged limited SI driven drones which light resemble as very large dogs, which have limited autonomy when cut off from control signals from the base station, a set of basic decision trees and a fuzzy logic processor along with identification software. Intended to be guided by human operators (dog-bot wranglers), which are intended for surface recon and artillery spotter roles for close combat[1]
Deployment[]
First of these Drones were early production units to aid the Director-General of the SLDF in Exile, Helena Cameron's forces to help disrupt Clan Jade Falcon & Wolf forces in 3142.
In a secretive deep dark cover operation, where other early units were deployed under the command of the cybernetic enhanced Human Envoy, Atrocity, with her custom WarShip operating in occupation zone space. disrupting supply lines and collecting intelligence for the SLDF.
A custom model was produce with it's own individual AI profile not unlike a guard dog and companion was created for the child AI, Alice as she left her space station inhabitant of Port Orphan to become a ship captain.

Technical[]
- Tech Rating: E/X-X-X-E
- Cost: 3,384,000 C-bills
- Tech Level: Experimental (Custom Unique)
Notes[]
- Technology of Semi-Robotic Control & Artificial Intelligence fitted into a Battle Armor size chassis is fluff. There are no rules to allow this to operate, however player may treat them as normal battle armor. Destruction of the "Trooper" in the armor, is consider robotic AI's destruction. The mouth manipulator needs to treated as a unique Design Quirk which current rules do not allow any kind manipulator or salvage arm to be mounted. This should allow for biting attacks not unlike real canine. This can not be duplicated in MegaMek.
