An '''MV5 Stealth Drone''' is a type of [[Tau Drone]] (small, disc-shaped, semi-sentient machine) employed in pairs alongside [[XV95 Ghostkeel Battlesuit]s. Stealth Drones consist of an advanced processor unit, which individually has only a basic intelligence (approximately equal to that of a small animal such as a pterasquirrel), and moves about by way of a compact anti-gravitic generator and much modified variant of Tau [[Jetpack]]. This allows the Drone to hover over the ground and skim over most obstacles.

A pair of MV5 Stealth Drones

An MV5 Stealth Drone is a type of Tau Drone (small, disc-shaped, semi-sentient machine) employed in pairs alongside XV95 Ghostkeel Battlesuits. Stealth Drones consist of an advanced processor unit, which individually has only a basic intelligence (approximately equal to that of a small animal such as a pterasquirrel), and moves about by way of a compact anti-gravitic generator and much modified variant of Tau Jetpack. This allows the Drone to hover over the ground and skim over most obstacles.

The dome of an MV5 Stealth Drone is studded with stealth field generators which match those found on an XV95 Ghostkeel's armour, and carries an underslung stealth emitter. This projects a stealth field over itself and its attending XV95 Ghostkeel. A pair of these overlapping which makes both the Drones and the Battlesuit virtually invisible in open terrain. While some Drones are seen as expendable assets by Tau, these two are invaluable to Ghostkeel Shas'vre, who often forms an unnaturally strong bond with the Stealth Drones while on extended missions behind enemy lines.
