One of my favorite new weapons I designed is the ARVEES or robotic vermin. 2cm spherical bot armed with a rotary tool & enough microsized sensors & cybernetics to home on the energy signature of a target, usually power lines to drives, commo, sensors, or weapon systems. They're loaded into a hardened warhead on a standard missile & launched at a target craft; usually at a cargo hold or stateroom.. Once the hull is breached after a successful roll to hit, the nosecone opens up & the ARVEES roll & grind on to their target. Missiles hold up to 20 of these little pests. These are one of my more recent ideas that came from watching an early import episode of the anime 'Tenchi Muyo GXP' where the pirates launched missile loaded with similar bots called 'ladau'. It was too neat an idea to pass up. And a nice change of pace from the EMP missiles I usually employ.
