Commando N-KIDU

The term N-KIDU was coined by Steelgate and is used to refer to one of their latest lines of automatons. They are very much in line with typical automaton technology found on Utopia. N-KIDUs themselves are then broken down into mission profiles such as Commando, Recce and Support, which are the three most commonly seen N-KIDUs on Terra Nova.

They are generally directed via human commanders in the field. Some automatons receive an NAI that is advanced enough to allow them to take charge themselves as automaton commanders. These automaton commanders are referred to as Pazu variants or Pazu upgraded automatons.

The Commando N-KIDU is armed with a light, but effective missiles and a few other options. Fast, agile, and incredibly maneuverable these drones display predatory behavior and have been known to stalk their targets. Swarms of these are extremely dangerous. They have been the bane of gear squads across Terra Nova.

Their ability to fly has proven a great asset for squads needing armed recon or rapid backup. Like all drones, the Flying Hunter/Seeker works best when piloted remotely or by wire, rather than operating on it’s own.
