A DX-11 Exploratory Drone is a type of Tau Drone (small, disc-shaped, semi-sentient machine) employed extensively alongside Tau Space Hulk exploratory expedition teams. Exploratory Drones consist of an advanced processor unit, which individually has only a basic intelligence (approximately equal to that of a small animal such as a pterasquirrel), and moves about by way of a compact anti-gravitic generator and much modified variant of Tau Jetpack. This allows the DX-11 to hover over the ground and skim over most obstacles.
