 The Junker is an all-purpose automated utility drone. Their cutting tools and manipulator arms make them adept at mining, salvage, manufacturing, repair, and countless other tasks. When needed they also make effective combat units, using their cutting tools to open a way for boarding parties or to plant bombs inside the enemy ships. They possess animal-like intelligence, instinctively attempting to reproduce (build more of their kind) or to feed (acquire spare parts from scrap yards or by destroying foreign ships). If a Junker is left in a scrap field and given sufficient time, it will eventually produce a colony and thousands of other drones.  The Junker is an all-purpose automated utility drone.

 Another multi-purpose system, the bolt driver is an effective tool for holding armor plates in place during emergency repairs. It fires a rivet-like projectile using a coil gun. The Bolt Driver may also be fitted with armor piercing rounds making it an effective tank killer.  Another multi-purpose system, the bolt driver is an effective tool for holding armor plates in place during emergency repairs.

 The legs and mechanical tentacles of the Junker are designed to operate in the hazardous conditions of space construction, and are therefore well built. The raw kinetic energy the legs are capable of producing make them effective as both stabbing and bashing weapons while the tools wielded by the tentacles make effective at puncturing.  The legs and mechanical tentacles of the Junker are designed to operate in the hazardous conditions of space construction, and are therefore well built.

 Based on technology similar to their reactors units, Junkers have the ability to produce bombs for self-defense. These are deployed in two ways; The first involves slingshotting the bomb like a grenade to attack from a range. The other is when a Junker cuts an opening in an enemy ship's hull, they often summon bomb carriers to deposit Eggs in the opening. The following explosions usually clear an opening large enough to allow the entire swarm to enter the ship, and tear it apart from the inside out.  Based on technology similar to their reactors units, Junkers have the ability to produce bombs for self-defense.

-About the size of a family car and often using four bulky 'wheel pods' instead of legs, their beetle-like shells are often customized for mining or base construction duty. They retain the ability to self-reproduce, but tend not to be used in combat roles, except for the odd occasion when they are specifically modified for it. The design is pre-[[stararmy:history:freespacer_genocide_and_related_battles|genocide]], but became much more popular after the [[faction:freespacers:astral_locksmiths|Astral Locksmiths]] began constructing their large-scale base on [[planet:arsenal|Arsenal]].+About the size of a family car and often using four bulky 'wheel pods' instead of legs, their beetle-like shells are often customized for mining or base construction duty.
