DOT System Specifications

Drones for Operational Tasks

System Overview

The DOT (Drones for Operational Tasks) system is an autonomous fleet of specialized maintenance, repair, and cleaning drones designed to reduce crew workload and maintain optimal ship condition during extended deep space operations. Given the Odyssey Class's massive 1062-meter length and 37 decks, the DOT fleet provides continuous 24/7 operational support.
