	~~#REDIRECT~~[[~~List~~ of ~~terms~~ (TOS)#drone]]		'''Drones''' are robotic devices created by the [[Twelve Colonies of Man\|Colonials]] that serve various functions without the integration of sophisticated artificial intelligence.

			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}}.

			: 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>
