Project LOCUST

Project LOCUST was a pre-War initiative, information of which is found in Sugar Grove terminal entries.

Background
Also known as "BR-04," the project focused on creating a vertibot bugging network. The scientists attempted to develop a self-directed vertibot swarm capable of "covertly accessing enemy installations, hacking into mainframe systems, and extracting data of interest." The project was unsuccessful, as engineering estimates indicated the vehicles with the technology would be approximately the size of a "consumer sedan," making "covert actions by a swarm of such robots infeasible."
