	Although automated machines of war were forbidden in core Domain space, war drones were quietly employed outside of officially incorporated volume. Frontier garrisons were often bolstered by drone ships, and they were deployed liberally against rebellious worlds to tip the terrible balance of attrition, setting the industrial might of the Domain versus the lives of 'freedom fighters'. The Defender was one of the most commonly seen war drones used by the Domain as it was deployed to harden frontier convoys and vulnerable outposts in a point defense role.
