'''Drones''' are robotic devices created by the [[Twelve Colonies of Man|Colonials]] that serve various functions without the integration of sophisticated artificial intelligence.
#REDIRECT[[List of terms (TOS)#drone]]
 
The most notable example of Colonial drone technology is [[Muffit II]], a facsimile of a [[daggit]] created to replace {{TOS|Boxey}}'s original pet [[Muffit]], who was lost during the [[Battle of Cimtar|destruction of Caprica]]. Muffit II was built by Dr. [[Wilker]] as a prototype for future drone daggits, so as to replace the organic version that did not make it to [[The Fleet (TOS)|the Fleet]], given the usefulness of daggits to [[Colonial Warrior|Colonial Warriors]]  {{OS|Saga of a Star World}}.
 
Other drone-adjacent technology is also included [[Android|androids]] {{OS|War of the Gods, Part II}}.

* ''According to ''[[Encyclopedia Galactica]]'' (a non-canonical piece of merchandise published in 1979):''
 
: The dividing lines between simple tools, ordinary machines and intelligent robots or androids are not always clear ones. Even the simplest measurement or repair device contains micro-circuits that continuously monitor its function and feed back the information to its user. At the beginning of the [[Scientific Renaissance]], human scientists developed multi-purpose machines that clearly were robots. Many looked forward to a Golden Age when all of society's boring, repetitive jobs could be done by intelligent machines. That dream was shattered in [[5160]], however, during the [[Cybernetic Revolt]] that paralysed (sic) the Colonial economy for over a yahren. The [[Colonial Code]] was swiftly modified to prohibit the integration of sophisticated artificial intelligence with mobile mechanical devices. Thus the humans were spared the grim fate that befell the first Cylons: destruction by their own creations. The android [[daggit]], [[Muffey]], was one of the first exceptions to this rule, built out of sympathy for the loss of [[Muffit|Muffey's namesake]], a real daggit lost in the [[Battle of Cimtar|destruction of Caprica]]. Since no biological daggits were permitted to board [[The Fleet (TOS)|the fleet]], Muffey provides many of the survivors with the warmth and friendship they miss from their ancient companions. <ref>{{cite book|last=Kraus|first=Bruce|authorlink=|authorlinkurl=|coauthors=|year=1979|title=[[Encyclopedia Galactica]]|publisher=|location=|id=|pages=49}}</ref>
