Frame

A 99-40 Frame

Frames are multi-purpose non-sentient robots that serve the City.

Overview

Developed during the Golden Age, but not as nearly advanced as the fully sentient Exo, frames are useful for both civil and military applications. Some frames are found in the Tower as vendors; other frames are used as defense robots. Lord Shaxx uses platoons of frames called Redjacks to secure potential Crucible sites. Frames are capable of learning from experience, developing unique personalities over time.

The Reef also uses frames as auxiliary guards, as they can be found wandering the Vestian Outpost and serving similar posts as their Tower counterparts. However, these frames are more primitive, as they lack learning capabilities or personalities, and are wiped from time to time.

There appear to be two model series of frames: the 55-30 series and the 99-40 series. The former is distinguished by their flat-topped heads and small, circular eye, while the the latter feature a more typical head shape with a larger, square eye. It is unknown what these differences signify.

Most Frames were destroyed during the invasion of The Last City by Red Legion forces.
