The LimpetFactor page explains what a mark does to the object holding it and what removes it. In the shipped rules, the limpet drone deploys into a limpet mine, and the mine fires the weapon that attaches the mark.

Caveats
  • Any weapon whose warhead sets LimpetFactor to 1 or more satisfies the event when it attaches a mark, whatever object fires it and whichever house owns the target.
  • An object holds at most one mark from each house, so each house satisfies the event on a given object once. A later shot from the same house attaches nothing and does not satisfy the event.
  • Once the object's [marks are removed](/keys/limpetfactor/#removing-a-mark), the same house can attach a new mark and satisfy the event again.
  • Structures, aircraft and infantry can be marked as well as vehicles, and each satisfies the event. Only a marked vehicle is slowed.
  • On a persistent tag, the event is [remembered](/systems/trigger-springing/#remembering-a-satisfied-event) after the first mark.
