 ====== SEED DRONES ======
-Seed Drones were lightweight aerial machines originally deployed for agricultural and logistical support aboard the [[last_frontier|Last Frontier]]. Among the various settlements on [[the_planet_voi_700_d|VOI 700 D]], only the [[hope|Hope Region]] managed to sustain drone operations after the crash.

+Developed by Olympia Cybernetics, a leading [[the_earth|Earth]]-based megacorp known for humanoid robotics and adaptive AI. Seed Drones were considered auxiliary utility units, used to support agriculture and maintenance operations. Onboard the [[last_frontier|Last Frontier]], they were maintained by the Frontier Engineering Corps (FEC), which ensured compliance with GAIA’s operational protocols through regular firmware updates.

   * These drones were sold to local farmers, usually bundled with a maintenance contract, allowing efficient reseeding of devastated croplands.
 ==== The Gamma Age: Ban and Underground Persistence ====
   * Following the formation of the [[federal_confederation|Federal Confederation]], [[supreme_councilor|Supreme Councilor]] [[georgia_hawking|Aisha Patel]] banned drone use in 2631 under the [[peace_treaty|Peace Treaty]], citing their excessive energy consumption.

-  * **Ransom in Arla Town:** A hacked Seed Drone modified into a weaponized battle drone attacks [[arla_town|Arla Town]]. It threatens to destroy houses unless the townsfolk pay a ransom. The PCs must either track and disable the rogue drone or uncover who’s behind the attack.
+Seeds of Desperation: A broke farmer hires the players to steal a Seed Drone from the facility, unable to afford one through legal channels. The heist reveals deeper questions of equity and survival in the post-crash economy.
