DESCRIPTION
Made quickly and cheaply, the BQ-12 series was developed by Blackwell Automata when the AMS crisis was in it's infancy. Designed to be used to purge entire areas of infected tissue and surfaces, the BQ-12 could have been sold off as a military droid, had the AMS crisis been headed off at the pass.

It wasn't.

And because it wasn't, Blackwell Automata had the best Plague-Suppression droid on the market because it was the only company to think to make one. It's combination of speed and low costs in production mean that any decently stocked Blackwell facility can make hundreds of the BQ-12 series of droids in a single day.

The downsides of making the droid easy and cheap to make, however, are numous. Most of the droid's body is, in fact, the fuel storage tank which makes it a clear target for anyone attempting to destroy the droid as the tank is only very lightly armored. The droid brains of the BQ-12 Series are also rather limited partly for time saving and partially by design; the droids need to be informed what to burn and what not to burn but they have incredibly diminished chances of learning.

It was decided that a dumb droid that needed to be directed and supervised was better than potentially having a droid that could learn to enjoy using it's flamethrower.

LEGALITY
Restricted. Due to the dangerous nature of it's main weaponry, this droid series is not legally allowed to be privately owned and must be owned by either a government, military or law enforcement agency.

INTENT
Intent is to add a new droid to the site that can be used as both a player droid and as a droid used by governments within the Site's Canon.

RESTRICTIONS
No restrictions. These droids are perfectly fine to use as basis for player character or as NPCs, though even players droids would find their intelligence low by design.
