Verplaatslave

Verplaatslaves are fully-robotic slaves that serve the Verplaatsen both on their spaceship and fighters. They can also aid them in ground battles.

Design

They are made at about 3.5 metres long and 3 metres high.

They have six mechanical legs, much like an insect, each with three metal claws on the end. The head has eyes and a wide-open, cavernous mouth that cannot close. The eyes do not see, but instead are the location of sensors, allowing the robot to 'feel' its way around. The mouth has two functions. It can create a vacuum, sucking in small, nearby objects, but there is also a small flamethrower located at the mouth's rear. The inside of the mouth is heat-resilient, allowing the Verplaatslave to use it safely as a weapon.

Mounted on the shoulders are two small cannons. These are operated by the robot; there are triggers inside the bodywork which the robot can activate at will. They have to be loaded externally, though. The cannons take standard nanodiamond pointed bullets.

Four spikes protrude from the sides of the bodywork, two on either side. These are designed to defend the body, the largest target on the robot, from attack. The robot also has a tail-like structure, with two long, red spikes on the end. Their purpose varies with the robot. In some models, venom is stored inside and injected into the target when struck. In other models, the points flip backwards to reveal small machine guns. These guns are also loaded externally but can hold up to four small nanodiamond bullets.

Newer models are being made entirely out of nanodiamond.

Purpose

As their name suggests, they are slaves of the Verplaatsen. They can use their limbs to serve in a variety of ways; operating controls, carrying food or other objects, dragging supplies, and they are also used in ground warfare.

The Verplaatslave has so many features it is hard to capture them all in a single shot, so several photos from different angles are taken for advertisements. Verplaatslaves generally cost around one Rablu.
