Drone weapons were homing projectile weapons that were created by the Great Beings for use on Atlantis and the Puddle Jumpers.
Description[edit | edit source]
Drone weapons were vaguely squid-shaped projectiles that measured about three feet long. Each had a rounded yellow head with small spikes that jutted out towards the rear of the weapon, with numerous black tentacles that extended from the rear that tapered into a point while in flight. Drone weapons were extremely powerful guided weapons, comparable to highly sophisticated missiles. When activated, drone weapons emitted an energy field that enabled them to tunnel through almost all forms of conventional matter, as well as allowing them to punch through energy shielding with ease. Drone weapons were usually controlled by the mind of an operator aboard a Puddle Jumper or the control chamber of whatever machine they were fired from. If a drone weapon was activated without being aimed towards a clear target, it would fire itself at the nearest destructible object.[1]
History[edit | edit source]
Drone weapons were created by the Order of the Great Beings and installed on Atlantis and the Puddle Jumpers. Blackout also acquired drone weapon technology at some point and incorporated it into Darkmount.[2]
During the Makuta-Agrippa War in 150,080 CMT, Darkmount used drone weapons to destroy most of a thirteen-strong fleet of Agrippa ships.[3]
Later in the year, Rodney McKay used a drone weapon to blow a hole in the wall of a hospital. He later fired a drone weapon from a Puddle Jumper that incapacitated Bitil aboard the Makuta Space Station.[4]
In the Battle of Lantea, Axel Storm's vehicle the Typhoon was hit by multiple drone weapons, but a shield was deployed that blocked a second volley of drone weapons from hitting their target.[5]

More drone weapons were then fired at him, but they were blocked by a shield."
