'''DX-11 Exploratory Drones''' are basically Tau version of [[Cyber-Altered Task Unit|C.A.T.]] units in [[Space Hulk]] missions, and fit similar roles of scouting, exportation and locating targets valuable enough to send a Fire Warrior team.

These Drones basically bob around and look for anything interesting or suspicious. Most often than not, Tau Fire Warriors view these as an acceptable sacrifice when the need comes, cause who would want to stick their head inside a mysteriously dark room with blood splatters everywhere? No one I ask you.

They are fitted with limited complementary of weapons and an array of sensory and high-powered communications equipment to relay a consistent link with the Fire Warrior team. If threatened the drone is programmed to conceal itself via cloaking, transmit an emergency alert like a scared [[Cat|kitten]], and await further instructions from the higher ups. The drone reserves its limited firepower only for moments of absolute necessity or when operating in direct support or defense of its operator.

If an Exploratory Drone is within close proximity to its master, it can act as a form of robotic bodyguard if necessary by getting in the way of incoming enemy fire or close-combat opponents during the course of a battle.
