A typical luminix has a chassis shaped like a robotic rat, with small scuttling limbs and a stabilizing tail. The design also features a pair of mechanical arms with pincers for hands, stabilizing thrusters, and an array of miniature solar panels across both the robot’s back and underside. Luminixes can withdraw all their limbs to recharge without draining their auxiliary systems, and many maintenance engineers prefer to recharge them upside-down because of a superstition that, since their programming mimics abilities used by solarians, their charging must be balanced in kind. Luminixes are versatile constructs programmed for defensive combat, typically working in concert with other types of security and combat robots. Their secondary function is to swiftly repair technology and structures damaged by hostile forces as they support larger models. A tide of mechanized rats swarm over a damaged object, followed by 30 seconds of flashing lights, buzzing, and clicking. By the time the luminixes scurry to the next contested location, the damaged object is as good as new.
