Drone Controller

Tau Portal

Drone Controller on the XV25 Stealth Battlesuit^[4]

A Drone Controller is a piece of Tau equipment which allows an individual Fire Warrior to command one to two Drones.^[1]

The controller acts as a communication hub between the user and the drones, and can be taken as both a battlesuit support system or hard-wired wargear.^[2] Most of the time the controller operates at a default level that simply keeps the Drone obeying its basic programming, but the owner can also use it to issue simple orders beyond the Drone’s normal parameters. Drone Controllers are usually found on team leaders and senior Tau, such as Battlesuit Commanders and Ethereals.^[3]
