T1 Light Assault Bots are tech 1 direct-fire units designed to perform raiding on lightly defended outposts or assist in direct attacks. They are quick and cheap to build, which makes them an integral component of any commander's T1 force. They are also very quick and agile permitting a limited amount of kiting and allowing them to attack and retreat quicker. It is inadvisable to use them against stationary defenses or commanders as they will be killed in 1 to 3 hits, only providing veterancy. They are also unique in that they are the only units able to fire out of a transport. That technique has been named the Ghetto gunship.
