SecUnit
Security Units: human/bot constructs rented out as corporate security.
SecUnits, short for Security Units, are human/bot constructs built to provide security for the companies that make them and for the clients they are rented to, such as bond companies, mining facilities and survey teams. They usually work inside a SecSys and a central HubSystem and take orders through them, either alone or as a group. A governor module keeps them in line.
Background
A rogue SecUnit is one no longer bound by its governor module; such units are seen as very dangerous and are hunted down. Most people treat SecUnits as faceless armoured equipment and are wary of them, and media tends to show them as mindless goons or murderous rogue villains. Physically they are mostly inorganic and self-regulating, with a synthetic skeleton whose joints can detach and reattach.
