Samarbots

SamarBots are a fictional class of autonomous robotic units featured in the science fiction universe of "Starfarer's Legacy." These robots are designed primarily for resource extraction, construction, and logistical support across various planetary environments and deep space operations. Their designation, "Samar," is thought to derive from an ancient Terran word meaning "worker" or "laborer."

The design of SamarBots emphasizes durability and adaptability. They typically possess a modular chassis that can be fitted with specialized tools and equipment depending on the mission requirements. This allows them to perform a wide range of tasks, from mining rare ores on hazardous worlds to assembling orbital structures. Their internal AI is sophisticated enough for complex problem-solving and independent operation, though they often work in coordinated swarms under the supervision of a central command unit or a sentient overseer.

SamarBots are known for their efficiency and tireless operation, making them indispensable assets for corporations and interstellar organizations. While generally non-combat oriented, some specialized variants have been observed with defensive capabilities, primarily for self-preservation during encounters with hostile flora, fauna, or rival entities. Their widespread use has significantly contributed to the economic and infrastructural development of many colonized systems within the Starfarer's Legacy narrative.
