These drones live in the vyrii wastes, building small shelters or "villages" for themselves. They gather all kinds of resources, mostly derived from vyrii constructs or drones, which they then use to repair and construct more of themselves.
Their forms are somewhat varied, due to their corrupted coding, but some traits are included in all of them, like their stout bodies, and the nano fabrication/dispenser arrays that are located in their hands.
These arrays allow the drones to quickly shape vyrii materials, reprogram vyrii coding and otherwise manipulate their surroundings in varied ways. The arrays emit small, dart like nanites, that are under the drone's control. These nanites are capable of nano scale manipulation of materials, as well as quick replication, though they are far too robust to properly manipulate organic material, in anything but the most crude ways. Because of this, these drones are incapable of infecting organic beings, like many of the warrior forms are. Of course, the warrior forms in turn lack the capacity to shape inorganic material and fabrication, due to the delicate nature of their infector nanites.
The greatest threat to these "Drone Folk" comes from the other vyrii forms, who are more often than not, hostile, attempting to assume the role of the new overmind. The maintenance drones themselves lack the need of the overmind, due to their autonomous nature. Instead, they draw commands from the collective "mind" that a group of them forms when they work together. The drones also posses a certain degree of individuality and intelligence, which have slowly grown more prominent, as the drones now need to be more self-determinant.
