Advances in Robot technology were hampered by the silicon war of 2028, the "Killer Android of Antwerp" incident and the Robot civil right marches of the 2050s.

All of the setbacks in robot research mean that Androids are still stuck in the "uncanny valley" of looking almost human, but eerily different. Emotions have been programmed in as responses to specific triggers. They range in height and weight just as a Human does.

In the military, Engineers are expected to join in combat by commanding a small fleet of Combat Bots (Drones).
