 ====== BUTLER BOTS ======
-Butler Bots were personal assistant [[service_bots|Service Bots]], originally designed for high-ranking [[the_humans|exohuman]] officials and wealthy settlers aboard the [[last_frontier|Last Frontier]]. These highly adaptive robots handled household management, meal preparation, scheduling, and guest services, ensuring a seamless living experience for their assigned users.
+Butler Bots were personal assistant [[service_bots|Service Bots]] aboard the [[last_frontier|Last Frontier]], deployed ship‑wide and accessible to all passengers under the vessel’s equal‑treatment policy. They staffed bars, cafeterias, lounges, gathering spaces, and cabins, handling hospitality, scheduling, and guest services. After the crash on [[the_planet_voi_700_d|VOI 700 D]], their roles widened in early settlements; only later did private household ownership become a luxury reserved for the wealthy, even as many units continued serving in public venues and official spaces.
-Following the crash landing on[[the_planet_voi_700_d| VOI 700 D]], Butler Bots played a critical role in early settlements, where they were repurposed to assist governing officials and community leaders. However, after the [[great_war|Great War]] and the formation of the Federal Confederation, they were prohibited under the [[peace_treaty|Peace Treaty’s]] energy regulations. Despite the ban, a handful of Butler Bots still circulate on the black market, mostly in [[Firetown|Firetown]], where [[outlaws|Outlaws]] and radical [[individualists|Individualists]] use them as a symbol of status and defiance.
