Nav Light Drone

# Nav Light Drone The huge cargo loads transported by space freighters often create ‘dead zones’ that prevent the crew from effectively seeing and responding to threats. To counteract this, freight ships usually carry a compliment of auxiliary drones. Using small maneuvering thrusters, the drones fly out and attach themselves to outer portions of the cargo load and serve to augment ship’s sensors, beacons, weaponry, etc. When required, the drones can fly back for an energy recharge from special sockets on the mother ship. Here we see a simple navigation light drone. A number of these would be situated to clearly deliniate the extreme portions of a large cargo load. These bright beacons help to avoid unpleasant collisions, most especially in the high-traffic zones around space docks and loading bays. Such drones come from the **Stardrifter** universe.
