 ====== MAINTENANCE BOTS ======
+{{ :maintenancebot_scenic.png?200|}}
 Maintenance Bots were specialized [[service_bots|Service Bots]] engineered for mechanical diagnostics, structural upkeep, and technical repair. First deployed aboard the [[last_frontier|Last Frontier]], they ensured the smooth operation of ship infrastructure, particularly in hard-to-access areas like utility shafts, power junctions, and air circulation systems.
-After the crash on [[the_planet_voi_700_d|VOI 700 D]], these bots became essential in sustaining early [[the_humans|exohuman]] settlements, helping maintain makeshift infrastructure. Their continued use into the [[beta_age|Beta Age]] marked them as silent heroes of colonization — until their prohibition under the [[peace_treaty|Peace Treaty]] in the [[gamma_age|Gamma Age]].

 ===== Appearance and Features =====
-  * **Chassis:** Hexapodal or crawler base for high stability in tunnels and technical zones.
+  * **Chassis:** Quadrupedal crawler base with four sturdy articulated legs, designed for stability in tunnels, shafts, and technical zones. Each leg ends in magnetic foot pads that allow secure grip on metallic surfaces, including walls and vertical shafts.
-  * **Shell:** Reinforced Duraflex casing with magnetic foot pads and insulation shielding.
+  * **Shell:** Reinforced Duraflex casing with insulation shielding, weathered from heavy use. Panels are matte gray alloy with hazard-yellow markings, often scratched and oil-stained from prolonged service.
