Paradigm

 * The KEI Host depicts the entire planet as it appears from satellite imagery, shaded in a pleasant blue. Thousands of little gold icons indicate Knight Errant personnel and security devices, while little red icons are hostiles tagged or marked by team leaders, spiders, or the host itself. Spiders in this host use dragoon knight icons and usually stay in the periphery of the atmosphere, waiting for a deployment action. In microscopic detail, the regular personnel use traditional knight icons; whenever one is incapacitated, their biomonitor launches a flare and a spider ensures that the response teams are issued. There are usually about twenty spiders at any given time, which sounds like a lot until you realize that unless somebody is dog-fighting with a spider in the atmosphere, the spiders have a whole virtual planet to search for intruders. Patrol IC, in the form of a long range satellite, is always active, but typically only scans for icons making long distance movements unless the host gets alerted. Bloodhounds sniff the grounds around Knight Errant teams on the planet, checking for anybody who might be running interference inside the host.
