 ====== CLEANING BOTS ======
-Cleaning Bots were specialized [[service_bots|Service Bots]] designed for sanitation, hygiene, and waste disposal aboard the [[last_frontier|Last Frontier]]. Their primary function was to maintain sterile living conditions in a closed-space environment, ensuring disease prevention and air purity for long-duration space travel.

-After the crash on[[the_planet_voi_700_d| VOI 700 D,]] Cleaning Bots played a crucial role in early settlement survival, preventing outbreaks caused by unsanitary conditions. However, with the formation of the [[federal_confederation|Federal Confederation]], Cleaning Bots—like most Service Bots — were prohibited under the [[peace_treaty|Peace Treaty’s]] energy regulations. Today, a few operational units exist in secret, hidden within [[Firetown|Firetown's]] black-market facilities.
-===== History and Development =====
-==== The Last Frontier Era ====
+Cleaning Bots were specialized [[service_bots|Service Bots]] designed for sanitation, hygiene, and waste disposal aboard the [[last_frontier|Last Frontier]]. Their purpose was to preserve sterile conditions in a closed-system habitat, preventing disease and contamination during centuries of deep-space travel.
+After the crash on [[the_planet_voi_700_d|VOI 700 D]], Cleaning Bots became essential to early settlement survival in the [[beta_age|Beta Age]], ensuring safe infection-free living spaces.
-  * Developed by Olympia Cybernetics, Cleaning Bots were a core part of the spaceship’s maintenance crew, preventing bacterial growth in a zero-gravity environment.
+Under the [[federal_confederation|Federal Confederation]], however, they were banned by the [[peace_treaty|Peace Treaty’s]] energy regulations. A few still function secretly in [[Firetown|Firetown]]’s black-market infrastructure, quietly scrubbing away evidence of human excess.
-  * They featured nanofiber sanitation applicators, chemical neutralizers, and air-filtration enhancement modules.
-  * Programmed for hazardous waste handling, some Cleaning Bots were deployed to radiation-contaminated or biohazard zones.
-==== The Beta Age: Settlement Hygiene and Waste Management ====
+===== History and Development =====
-  * In the aftermath of the crash, Cleaning Bots were essential in reducing disease risks among survivors.
+==== The Last Frontier Era ====
-  * The New Kourou Robotics Syndicate maintained them, offering their services under a leasing model for settlements that needed sanitation solutions.
+  * Developed by Olympia Cybernetics as the pinnacle of autonomous sanitation systems.
-  * Some were repurposed for environmental purification, filtering toxic air and water sources to make VOI 700 D habitable.
+  * Built for zero-gravity operation, they used sealed cleaning modules with nanofiber rollers, vapor recyclers, and plasma sterilizers.
+  * Their self-contained design eliminated the need for human supervision, enabling silent, round-the-clock decontamination.
-==== The Gamma Age: Prohibition and Black Market Demand ====
+==== The Beta Age: Settlement Hygiene and Waste Management ====
+  * After landfall, surviving units became critical for preventing disease among settlers.
+  * The [[new_kourou_robotics_syndicate|New Kourou Robotics Syndicate]] leased refurbished models to colonies under sanitation contracts.
+  * Some were repurposed for air and water purification, helping make VOI 700 D’s environment marginally habitable.
-  * In 2631, [[supreme_councilor|Supreme Councilor]] [[georgia_hawking|Aisha Patel]] outlawed Cleaning Bots, citing their high energy demands and excessive reliance on non-renewable sanitation chemicals.
+==== The Gamma Age: Prohibition and Black-Market Demand ====
-  * Federal authorities seized and dismantled most units, replacing them with human-operated sanitation teams.
+  * In 2631, [[supreme_councilor|Supreme Councilor]] [[georgia_hawking|Aisha Patel]] outlawed all Cleaning Bots, citing their excessive power consumption and chemical dependency.
-  * Underground Facilities in Firetown still use stolen or reassembled Cleaning Bots, particularly for bio-waste disposal, chemical scrubbing, and toxic spill containment.
+  * The Confederation replaced them with human-run sanitation brigades.
+  * A few illegal units continue operating in hidden tunnels and industrial sites, valued for their unmatched precision and silence.
 ===== Appearance and Features =====
-  * **Height & Build:** Smaller than humanoid Service Bots, with a compact, rolling chassis designed for agile movement through tight spaces.
+  * **Height & Build:** Compact cylindrical or low-ellipsoid body, approx. 0.7 m tall, optimized for smooth rolling and wall-to-floor transitions.
-  * **Surface Materials:** Corrosion-resistant Duraflex Alloy, coated with a self-cleaning nanopolymer layer to prevent contamination buildup.
+  * **Surface Materials:** Corrosion-resistant Duraflex alloy coated with self-cleaning nanopolymer to repel dirt and fluids.
+  * **Movement:** Omnidirectional traction pads for rapid gliding; hidden fold-out climbers allow ascent over stairs, rubble, or vertical shafts.
-**Sanitation Appendages:**
+**Integrated Cleaning System:**
-  * Extendable sanitation arms for mopping, spraying, and chemical application.
+  * **Perimeter Mist Jets** emit electrostatic vapor to bind and neutralize dust or pathogens.
-  * Micro-vacuum system for dust and air purification.
+  * **Underbody Nano-Rollers** scrub, absorb, and sterilize simultaneously using recycled vapor loops.
+  * **Vapor-Vacuum Circuit** condenses and reuses steam for continuous operation without refilling.
+  * **Decontamination Pulse** releases brief blue plasma flashes to destroy microbes on contact.
-**AI and Sensors:**
+**Sensors and AI:**
-  * Equipped with chemical analysis scanners to detect hazardous materials.
+  * Chemical-spectrum scanners detect toxins, biological hazards, and radiation residue.
-  * Can recognize harmful bacterial strains, toxins, and pollutants.
+  * 360° LIDAR and contamination mapping allow swarm-mode coordination with other units.
+  * Emits soft operational hums rather than speech to minimize disturbance.
 ===== Non-Humanoid Design and Its Purpose =====
+Cleaning Bots were never built to imitate humans. Their efficiency derived from mechanical perfection, not mimicry.
-Unlike other Service Bots, Cleaning Bots were never designed to resemble humans. Instead, they were engineered as compact, mobile sanitation units, prioritizing functionality over social interaction.
+**Reasons for Non-Humanoid Design:**
+  * **Maximized Coverage:** Rolling architecture cleans entire surfaces simultaneously.
+  * **Hygienic Integrity:** Smooth, joint-less body prevents bacterial buildup.
+  * **Discretion:** Low profile allows operation in living quarters without intrusiveness.
+  * **Modular Engineering:** Internal cartridges and fluid cores can be swapped without exposing mechanical parts.
-**Reasons for Non-Humanoid Design:**
-  * **Efficiency in Navigation**: Their rolling chassis allowed them to move swiftly through tight spaces, ducts, and corridors.
-  * **Sanitary Considerations:** A humanoid appearance was deemed unnecessary for a bot primarily handling waste and hazardous materials.
-  * **Psychological Impact:** Cleaning Bots were designed to be discreet and non-intrusive, ensuring that human passengers didn’t feel like they were being "served" by a human-like entity when dealing with sanitation tasks.
-  * **Modular Flexibility:** Their attachment points for different cleaning tools and chemical dispersal systems made them more versatile than a humanoid form would allow.
 ===== Energy Supply and Power Management =====
+  * Powered by a [[quantum_fusion_batteries|Quantum Fusion Battery (QFB)]], sustaining up to 12 days of continuous operation.
-  * Quantum Fusion Battery (QFB) capable of 12 days of continuous operation under normal conditions.
+  * Intensive contamination work drains energy twice as fast.
-  * Heavy Contamination Workload: Drains energy twice as fast when handling biohazard containment or chemical waste neutralization.
+  * If toxin or radiation thresholds exceed safety limits, the bot seals itself hermetically and powers down, protecting nearby life.
-  * Shutdown Protocol: If contamination levels exceed safety limits, Cleaning Bots initiate a self-sealing procedure, preventing exposure to nearby individuals.
