The icon of the T'au Empire.
An Automated Repair System is a T'au vehicle support system that consists of numerous dispenser hubs mounted around the vehicle's hull.
If the vehicle's engine drives or weapon systems become damaged during the course of a battle, the Automated Repair System will automatically release swarms of tiny Maintenance Drones to quickly perform field-repairs and restore the systems to full function in the midst of battle.
