''Not to be confused with the [[Tyranid]] [[Escort Drone]], which is substantially larger.''

Escort Drones are a type of small drone that often accompany Tau [[Water Caste]] negotiators and incorporate both defensive as well as minor offensive capabilities. They are nimble, compact and thus, [[Lofn|smol.]] Escort Drones make use of small efficient anti-grav units which are similar in design to larger drones. They not only act as protectors for their charge but as tools for trade as they are programmed to record and deliver complex messages.

They are also used to guide prospective clients to the Water Caste negotiator and record every exchange that takes place and hope to hell that it does not suffer a catastrophic mistranslated mishap ala Google Translate. This information is then used for later study and dissection in order to better tailor to the individual in question. To serve them in their role, the escort drone makes use of a simple projector array that displays information on a flat screen. They are also equipped with twin [[Pulse Pistol|Pulse Pistols]] which take up a majority of the space in the small drone. The Pulse Pistols are pretty good against the local scum bucket, but don't expect to do much to an angry [[Ultramarine|Smurf]], just ask [[Cato Sicarius]] and the Water Caste member that got [[Rape|squished]] in a 'negotiation' (To be fair, she had no Escort Drone and was asking for it. Not as if the Drone mattered in the first place).
