Autonomous Hovering Defense Weapon

A compact, sleek, autonomous hovering weapon device deployed on Minos, capable of projecting and replacing a familiar holographic figure (Captain Paul Rice) as a deceptive ruse to ambush intruders. It fires precise energy blasts that encase Commander Riker in a transparent lucinium containment cube, immobilizing him and incapacitating other away team members. This weapon embodies the planet's highly adaptive and sophisticated automated defense system, silently hovering above the surface's eerie clearing and ancient ruins. Its presence escalates the threat level, underscoring Minos’s capacity for insidious and rapid response to unauthorized personnel.
