ES-115
Oracle heavy sensor/attack drones
Oracle
is a semi-sentient, autonomous spacecraft that can carry
up to four different modular sensor packages, all of which
are based on larger shipboard counterparts. It is used to
provide medium-to-long range target sensing for offensive
and defensive operations, and can lead "packs" of smart
missiles on search and destroy missions. In attack mode,
the main body of the drone drops its sensor packages for
later retrieval and accelerates at relativistic speeds toward
a target. The resultant collision can produce an explosion
that ranges between a few kilotons and a gigaton of destructive
power.
