Defense Drones, which are also known as Targeting Drones, represent a drone model conceived by Sprocket, a rookie Hunter medic, programmer, and tinkerer. Sprocket designed them for deployment in the Hunters of the Outer Rim contest, which was held on Vespaara. These diminutive, hovering drones were engineered to fulfill two primary functions: first, to locate Sprocket's adversaries inside the Grand Arena and pinpoint their locations, enabling visibility even through obstructions; and second, to bolster allied forces by generating an overshield that mitigated the impact of approaching blaster projectiles. Characterized by their speed and agility, these droids would orbit their designated targets from an elevated position to execute their designated function. They commonly exhibited a rhythmic blue luminescence, which would shift to red when locking onto a foe.
