I'm not at home to check myself at the moment, but didn't The Good That Men Do establish a more specific name for these, something along the lines of telepresence drones? --8of5 21:00, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Did a quick skim of the first couple of chapters from "The Good That Men Do" and the words used to describe the drone ships are "Telepresence drones", "Prototype drones" and "Drone ships". I don't think either are used consistently throughout the book but I only did a light skim, I thought I would go with what Memory Alpha. Perhaps the article should be moved to Telepresence drones since that would distinguish them better? – Darth Batrus 16:22, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

It will depend on context, if the Romulans introduce it as a "telepresence drone", a sort of technical name for it, and then simplify that variations on drone when talking about it in general, I think telepresence drone must be the formal name of sorts. --8of5 17:16, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

In "Kobyashi Maru", Valdore also reflects on the failure to get more Aenar for the "Telepresence drone-ships". Thats another possible name for the drone ship.– Darth Batrus 11:00, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
