Design for one of the Laujunderitan generation III drones which began to appear in action sometime around 6500 ASC. Such designs would appear increasingly organic and animalistic compared to their much more robotic predecessors, taking notes from Ueptael bio-engineering practices.
A combat oriented drone such as this one would feature a virtual intelligence modeled off of pack-hunting animals. They may also act as remote avatars for sapient beings, with every sense and motion of the drone's body in sync with a user on a distant spacecraft, habitat, or planet.

It's pretty creepy, and for good reason. This one's as dangerous as it looks.
