 ====== GUARDING BOTS ======
+{{ :guardingbot_scenic.png?200|}}
 Guarding Bots were specialized [[service_bots|Service Bots]] developed to support law enforcement aboard the [[last_frontier|Last Frontier]]. Originally created before the ship's departure from [[the_earth|Earth]], their development was later fine-tuned with the support of the [[guarding_troopers|Guarding Troopers]] — the [[the_humans|exohuman]] protective and enforcement force active during the [[the_alpha_age|Alpha]] and [[beta_age|Beta Ages]].

-===== Appearance and Features =====
+===== Appearance and Design =====
-Height & Build: Taller and bulkier than Butler Bots—typically 2.1 meters with a reinforced alloy chassis.
+Guarding Bots use a Humanoid Heavy‑Sentinel Chassis prioritising intimidation, durability and 360° awareness.
-Head Unit: Sensor dome housing 360° camera array, facial recognition lenses, and thermal optics.
+==== Chassis Spec ====
-Armor Plating: Matte black or dark grey finish, capable of withstanding light firearms and shrapnel.
+  * **Height/Mass:** 2.10 m, 145 kg (reinforced alloy frame)
+  * **Mobility:** Bipedal 26‑joint gait; sprint 40 ft in bursts; gyroscopic balance resists shove attempts
+  * **Manipulators:** Power gauntlets (grip strength 1 200 N) plus Compliance Stave—telescopic electro‑truncheon integrated into forearm dock
+  * **Sensor Suite:** Helmet‑style dome with quad‑band optics (UV/Vis/IR/LIDAR), 3D acoustic mapping, atmospheric chem‑sniffer
-Optional Equipment: Retractable arms for non-lethal takedown, concealed firearm compartments (if enabled), magnetic handcuffs, and built-in loudspeakers for crowd control.
+==== Materials & Finish ====
-Voice and AI Capabilities:
+  * **Endoskeleton:** Tungsten‑reinforced titanium spars, shock‑absorbing fibre core.
+  * **Outer Armour:** Matte basalt‑black poly‑ceramic plates rated to deflect low‑calibre firearms and shrapnel (< 7 mm).
+  * **Servo Covers:** Kevlar‑weave sleeves mitigate joint fouling and blunt‑force trauma.
+  * **Unit Markings:** White alphanumeric unit code on chest; patrol LED arc shifts from blue (idle) to amber (challenge) to red (engaged).
-Emotion-neutral voice modulation for clear commands.
+==== Integrated Surveillance & Enforcement Systems ====
-Threat assessment vocalizer to communicate intent ("Halt. You are in a restricted area.").
+  * **Face & Gait Recognition Engine:** Compares live feeds to FHCS / Trooper watchlists in < 0.3 s.
+  * **Movement Heat‑Map Predictor:** Flags erratic motion indicative of aggression (+2 to initiative rolls).
+  * **Compliance Stave:** Non‑lethal electro‑truncheon; variable voltage allows stun or muscle‑override incapacitation.
+  * **Stun Beam Emitter:** Chest‑mounted photonic disabler (optics‑safe shield at 50 cm).
+  * **Mag‑Cuff Launcher:** Wrist‑deployed magnetic restraints lock onto ferrous collars.
-Multilingual interface and built-in interrogation protocols for interaction with suspects or intruders.
