Forty Days of Robots: Day 1

A modified Model 1470, used mostly for atmospheric testing and oceanic data catch.

This unit's designation number shows it as assigned to the 438th Meteorology Platoon (visible lower right, mid-rift hull). The 438th was deployed to the stars on the freighter Adverse Victory, during the autumn of the Year of Our Disciple 878. 

This rare picture of a Model 170 was snapped either on Rahgresh or Bickok Station, early 890s.
