==Description==
Based on the [[2650]] model of the [[Pentagon]] Assault DropShip, the M-3 was the first full production SDS Drone to see widespread use. First deployed in [[2698]], they replaced the sullied [[M-2]] as the primary drone system of the early [[SDS]] network. The M-3 was also the first of the drones to be built new and not as retrofits of existing, crewed ship hulls. Starting in [[2704]], the M-3 was produced at [[O’Neil Shipyards]] and would eventually be built at a half dozen locations across the Hegemony. Being easier to produce than the massive [[M-5]], the majority of Hegemony systems were protected by these diminutive but deadly assault ships.

This made it a credible threat to [[corvette]] and [[destroyer]]-class WarShips and capable of destroying the most thickly armored [[DropShip]] in a single salvo.

The M-3 Drone required no crew as it was completely autonomous. The [[SDS Drone Control System]] had a gunnery rating of 3 and a piloting rating of 4. The station's internal automated defenses provided 14 Marine Points to fend off boarding actions.
