Automata

Automata are very recent inventions, having come into existence during the final days of the Benefactors' War for the sole purpose of performing menial labor for the sake of freeing up more soldiers for the front lines. Since that point, the basic structure has been modified into myriad forms for several applications, though they are essentially never capable of any task more complex than simple tracking, targeting, and locomotion. Some newer designs can combine multiple such functions, and even distinguish between individuals.

One Wyatt Surbin does not bear singular responsibility for their existence, but he has turned them from a mere curiosity to a viable military design with his innovations.
