I had considered many drone designs that existed in both the Star Trek universe and those that I had seen in real life or in fiction, before I had made my decision. It had been a hard one, but one that I was happy with.
Appearing in large holographic form was the white spherical drone weapon that had appeared in the 2013 movie Oblivion, starring Tom Cruise.
“An interesting design, my Lord,” Carl offered, while circling the drone weapon. “A large, spherical design, which will make the deflector shield geometry very simple and efficient, maximizing its power to defense ratio. White, I am assuming, to make it appear less threatening to the planetary population?”
