These aren't "throw-away", but they would likely be considered more expendable than human troops.Yes... but waved assault robots can be risky in Fenspace... you never know if they do as told... or if they give you the ship afterwards.
Quote:I'd hope that the Bugrom are the closest thing to cloned troops currently in Fenspace... But, I guess it depends what Dr. Asmodeus Grey, and other criminal Mads, have been up to...Yeah, there are quite some ideas in the wiki that never were used anywhere... I used the Tanglewood Boys for one story, but the rest is unused and even undefined.

Your right that they wouln't consider any of their troops truely expendable. the DELIVERY platform, maybe. I think thats' where I was going with my vision for the boarding torps. they are ment to punch into the interior instead of forcing you to 'cut open' a lock or whatever. but maybe not so good for getting back home.Yes, might be. Did not wanted to go into details for the story of the company. *G*
