+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.

   * The remaining 42 Seed Drones were salvaged and recovered by a company called [[Drones of Hope Inc.|Drones of Hope Inc.]], founded by a former FEC engineer.
   * 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.
