The Surveillance Drone is based on the Police Pursuit vehicle. Painted with a matte black coating which absorbs both light and radio frequencies, making it capable of stealth movement, the drone was designed to engage combatants in areas where police casualties were unusually high.
Because it does not have to accommodate a driver, it is lighter, faster, and capable of maneuvers that may cause a human pilot to hesitate, even when amped up on adrenaline.
Though its primary purpose is surveillance rather than engagement, it does have assault capabilities, though activation of this mode requires high level clearance and secret codes.
Anarchists have contracted rogue hackers and scientists, to produce EMP weaponry to help combat the drone, which in turn has been regularly modified to meet the threats posed by the increasingly ingenious Anarchist army.
While the drone represents a double edged sword in the political debates for social security and safety, sometimes misused or underused by authorities, and has its supporters and cynics on both sides of the equation, the drone represents the pinnacle of law enforcement resources which is embraced with both caution nd enthusiasm, depending on who one speaks with.
📂 Artifact File: S-DN.07 “Black Vulture”
🌌 World Context
In the aftermath of the Westveil Riots, cities turned into urban war zones. Autonomous Zones flourished in the shadows of broken bureaucracy. To stem the rising tide of insurgency without risking more officer lives, the Urban Enforcement Bureau deployed a new type of surveillance—one that doesn’t blink, doesn’t bleed, and doesn’t bargain.
🧱 The Build
The S-DN.07 “Black Vulture” is a next-generation surveillance drone derived from the Police Pursuit series. Stripped of cockpit constraints, its hollow frame is ultralight and dangerously agile. Coated in matte-black, anti-glare polycarbon that absorbs both light and radio frequencies, it vanishes in low light and jams most sensor sweeps. While designed primarily for reconnaissance, it carries a concealed weapons module—lethal, precise, and locked behind triple-coded clearance.
🧠Character Connection
"It doesn't wait for orders. It just watches. And when it moves… it's already too late."
—Lt. Ramos, decommissioned field agent and vocal drone critic.
🔧 Lore Hook
Anarchist scientists have begun deploying pulse disruptors and homemade EMP mines—yet each encounter pushes the Vulture into new upgrades. Whispers in black-market forums hint that a Vulture went rogue during the Arcadia Sweep. Authorities deny the claim. The footage says otherwise.
