With the Alpha and Havoc species becoming a threat to the Imperium's expansion plans in the Fertile cluster, the Imperium re-instated the Drone Act. This allowed the Imperium navy to drop Robotic Combat Drones (RCDs) for scouting and defense missions - only on worlds unoccupied by the Imperium. The RCDs seem to be able to accomplish their missions without disturbing the deadly wards that guard these worlds. The light filtered through the foliage onto RCD 45521 as it gathers valuable data regarding the topography of the land, and the chemical composition of the flora and soil. The jungles of New Africa, a botanically rich world, are full of unique vegetation that will prove invaluable to Imperium researchers. RCD 45521's primary mission is to find any colonies of hostile life forms. It's primary goal - exterminate all hostile organisms. Artists Notes The Invasion Series is building up to more combat related scenes. This and previous renders have been tests to establish style and find the limits of the applications I'm using.
