The 'KC0-29' Big Brother was developed by DronTek as a heavy weapon and drone support platform, epitomising rugged DronTek design principles. It is a lynchpin within their lances, usually deployed to act as a bulwark against the most powerful forces of the opposition. Its cumbersome speed means it relies on its drones and on faster members of its lance to prevent it being outmanoeuvred. It saw active deployment against Evantis forces in their failed invasion of the Northern Wastes, going toe to toe with their Colossus Mechs.

The Big Brother must choose between moving or taking a Turn Action on its turn. It also takes twice as long to travel between any two points on the Campaign, Region, or Area maps.
Chassis Ability
Big Brother Drone Controller
Passive
The Big Brother controls a suite of Drones. The Big Brother can control up to 4 Big Brother Drones, and the Pilot may issue commands up to Far Range as a Free Action. The Big Brother Drones have their own turn in the turn order, and always act simultaneously.
The Big Brother Drones act separately to The Big Brother on their own turn, and are controlled by the Pilot. They function effectively as Mechs, but cannot Push. They can be installed with Systems and Modules and restore their SP and EP in a T3 or higher Mech Bay during Downtime. If the Drones are damaged they can be repaired as though they were Mechs. If they are destroyed you may craft new Big Brother Drones for 2 Tech 5 Scrap as per the crafting rules. The Big Brother may have up to 4 active Big Brother Drones at a time.

Big Brother Drones are programmed with swarm protocols that make them act as a single unified force. Their distinctive buzzing sound spells doom for pilots. They may be customised as a Mech using their profile.

Patterns

ChassisBig Brother
"DronTek"
This pattern was standardised by DronTek during cyberwars and is still used. Drones are designed for specific tasks like shielding and mine placement. The 'Big Brother' itself provides heavy fire support with missiles and railguns. The pattern was used against Stefanus' naval installations surrounding Ostfjord Port, leading to the development of EM-Self Destruct modules.
