Seraphim Model XP-38

The Seraphim are a TL15 race of beings who occasionally meddle in the affairs of less advanced civilizations.  Very little is known about them.  Some of their agents make use of the XP-38.  The bioplastic flesh which covers the mechanical frame is extremely resilient as well as self-sustaining.  It can also be customized to match a wide variety of humanoid exteriors, depending on the particular species to be worked with.  The basic XP-38 has powerful sensor and communications packages, and a few weapons.  Some models have additional components installed in various body structures to provide additional services, depending on the needs of the individual (replace empty space or weapon systems).


Robot is TL15 except where noted.
