Another variant of a Drone Turret.

The '''DS8 Tactical Support Turrets''' are a type of light Drone-operated Turret used by Fire Warrior teams. Basically smaller versions of the normal Drone Turret, the Tactical Support Turret is used when the available space is too small for a regular turret to be deployed or the situation requires a smaller profile to better protect itself from anti-armor weapons.

They are deployed rapidly to the field carrying in racks along the flanks of [[Orca|Orca Dropships]] and most commonly are armed with a smaller Seeker Missile pod. The Tactical Support Turret is programmed to self-destruct should their sensors register that the enemy could capture or tamper them.

Like their larger brothers, the Tactical Support Turrets aren't as trigger happy as the Imperial Tarantula and would most likely cease firing their missiles if they see a friendly close to its line of fire.

Then again, it wouldn't entirely be the turret's fault if you're dumb enough to enter its weapon's blast radius just to get a face full of plasma and shrapnel in the process. On the other hand, if these chumps are Pathfinders, then it's a-okay because they are expendable!
