Oh, they’re machine spirits. Why didn’t you say so?
I had to make sure my explanation was correct, especially since the Battletech universe has had computers that actually could think within limited parameters. But CASPAR II’s cannot. They are mostly intended for use in star system defense use. In 40K, you might think of such units being built on a relatively industrialized world for its defense (under proper oversight from the relevant Adepts, of course), thus freeing the Imperium’s manned starships for mobile defense or possibly for offensive operations.
