''MEGADEATHBOT'') is a heavy military proof-of-concept {{wp|Unmanned combat aerial vehicle|UAV}} system produced by [[Baen Avionics]] solely for the [[Office of the National Army (Faneria)|National Army of Faneria]] since 2027. ROBOBAMOR was developed as a long-range stealth bomber, allowing for the deployment of heavy ASM and ASHM cruise missiles thousands of miles from a home base without the need for considerations of crew fatigue. The project is considered a high-cost, niche asset, with only two systems currently in service; two additional systems are planned over the next decade, and the class will not replace other Fhainnin drone systems such as the [[Eancogaidh UAV|Baen Warbird]] and [[Cheaston UAV|Cheaston Drone]]. | ||
Originally, naming of the system was put up for public polling in 2027 after the display of the prototype at [[Tealgahn Mall]]; however, the top three names resulting from the contest were ROBOBAMOR (Megadeathbot), ROBOBAMOR 9000, and an expletive. Military officials were originally unwilling to use the winning name, but renaming the system 'Sparrowhawk' lead to a three-month campaign of harassment primarily targeted at the Baen Avionics plant in Cancale, resulting in involvement and summary judgement by the [[Office of the National Army (Faneria)#Taesteach-General|Taesteach-General of the Army]]. | Originally, naming of the system was put up for public polling in 2027 after the display of the prototype at [[Tealgahn Mall]]; however, the top three names resulting from the contest were ROBOBAMOR (Megadeathbot), ROBOBAMOR 9000, and an expletive.
