COG
COGs are the League of Votann's robot drones that are less complex and intelligent than the Ironkin.[1]
Overview
COGs serve as robotic assistants for Kin of the Leagues of Votann and are usually overseen by a Brôkhyr engineer. Their designs are based upon ancient schematics provided by Kin ancestors, but the Brôkhyr also provide their own individual ingenuity to their design.[2e] COGs are can perform relatively complex tasks, including applying first aid[3c] and operating spacecraft at a base level independently.[3b] However, they nonetheless are far less cognitively advanced than Ironkin, which possess fully sapient Artificial Intelligence.[3a] When not needed, COGs are put into a dormant state by their overseers.[3b]

Trivia
 |
- The term CORV could be a play on Corvus (corax), the Latin name for the Common raven (see also raven-like head decoration of the CORV drone). They likely are a reference to Huginn and Muninn, the raven companions of the Norse god Odin, since the Grimnyr the CORV accompany has several similarities to Odin.
