The Essence of Skelebots

The Coalition States deploys skelebots, which are cheap to make, as hunter-killers whose mission parameters are focused on mass extermination as opposed to pacification. While units are commanded by small groups of Dead Boys the androids are best described as bringing a chainsaw to a knife fight. Their OS has few guardrails beyond don’t kill Coalition personnel without authorization and try not to kill Coalition citizens. Rumors insist that their voice module is based off of Chairman Joseph Prosek I.

The sentence "Skelebots operate..." begs the question.
Why don't we have a write-up for the "units of 10 led by a small squad of Dead Boys"?
Without this info I don't feel that putting a single Skelebot in the game makes sense.
