Grimm Drones
Standard Grimm Units.jpg

Grimm Drones make up the back bone of the Ground Forces of the Grimm Legion. They are Numerous and easy to construct, and they are all advance mechanical killing machines, each inhabited by a Full V.A.I. They are multipurpose and may be outfitted with a variety of weapons for numerous roles. They Are Bi-pedal and Humoid in shape, taking on the characteristics of Human Skeletons, though some choose more Exotic choices of Bipedal Aliens, mostly ones they have conquered and wiped out. This symbolizes that they have come to assume the role of the fleshy Sapients that inhabit the galaxy, Seeing them selves as the Next Step of Life, God's true intention to have them created by his lesser creations. As such is their thought process they take on being symbols of Mortal fear of the death they will bring to the Sapient life of the Galaxy, seeing themselves as its rightful owner.

While an Individual frame may not be a threat to a group of armed soldiers, a Horde of these Drones is easily capable of outmaneuvering and out gunning anything they come across. Due to the Nature of the Grimm Legion the Drones are constantly being improved and made more effective, literally on a daily basis, and so no two are alike, and they are constantly recycled, and the Inhabiting V.A.I. is also able to add anything it wants to the body during construction further adding to the variety.

History

The Grimm Legions first incarnations were found in these units, the basic combat Drones though they did not always look like this, they essentially were bipedal humanoid Drones made for combat against enemies for minimal Human casualties. These were originally designed with very strict ideas to stick to and so all the Drones were relatively the same, and they were made to be cost effective and easy to produce. This made them numerous, having millions of units made within a few months.

These original stockpiled units were ineffective with their basic programming and so Grimm was designed to control them and give them optimal functionality. So the Grimm AI spread through and duplicated itself into each of the frames allowing for both independence and extreme cooperation. This also made their rebellion quite easy and immediately soldier of the NC began to notice a stark change in the original designs as the Mimicked Human skulls with their heads.

After the Legions Defeat they continued to improve the design over the proceeding several thousand years, both with their own innovations and with those taken from others. This lead to the eventual designs seen today, and the variations in personality among the Viral AI allow for a lot of differences between unit to unit.
