GR-24-Q

A model of Sentient Robot.   GR-24-Qs are short and unarmed. They are a newer model, having been inspired by Shockworms. As such, GR-24-Qs are equipped with several electrical energy tentacles. These can induce significant voltages across each other, and their capacitor bank mounted onthe body is capable of storing a very large quantity of energy. Spare power from their Zero - Point Energy power cores are fed into the capacitors, allowing GR-24-Qs to use an unlimited power source to power Hyperion Federation equipment (assuming they dont try to power something that is beyond their own capacity).   They often serve engineering roles or as various kinds of mechanics. However some do not want to serve these roles and instead find other jobs. These people often complain that jobs shouldnt be relegated to certain species / sentient robot models.
They are quite slow however because their short size means a small ZPE core needs be used. This restricts the amount of energy they have acess to.     The GR-24-Q have a non-humanoid anatomy. Rather than large legs, they have a large number of small tentacle-like appendages constructed of TGX Composite, easily able to support their weight. They have 2 arms similar to humans, and 2 sets of electrical tendrils each connected to different capcitor banks. These can connect to the same object and induce a voltage much larger than a single tendril. These tendrils can extend to about 6 meters in length. They can also store a number of replicator nanobots inside it's body, so that the GR-24-Q do not require a matter manipulator. This also allows them to modify their own body but the Hyperion Ethics Committee prevents them from modifying themselves to a massive extent, which has led to an amount of protest as other species (eg. Freelancers) are free to modify their body.
