DESCRIPTION​

By now an extremely rare sight, BX series droid commandos looked very similar to B1 battle droids, notable changes include two white photoreceptors, in addition to the long head being shortened to half its original size. Their voices were notably different compared to the B1 series, sounding more akin to the deep voices of B2 super battle droids. Unit leaders, which were ranked as captains, were fitted with white marks on their brows and chestplates. The captain would also have a vibrosword.

They had the same operating abilities as B1 battle droids, with the addition of infiltration software. This, along with their humanoid shape, allowed them to fit into a clone trooper's armor. In addition to this, the droids were capable of modulating their voices to match that of others, though they could not accurately copy their mannerisms or vocabulary, nor respond properly to unexpected situations outside of combat.

The droid commandos were built to be substantially faster and stronger than a regular battle droid, and also possessed heavier armor that was capable of withstanding multiple shots from most blasters. However, sustained barrages or a single headshot could overwhelm them. The only real drawback of these droids was that they were far more expensive to produce than the regular infantry. This made the droids a fairly rare sight on the battlefield and thus made them to be used exclusively on special and or critical missions only. Apparently, the head was weaker than the rest of its body, since there has been at least a recorded occasion where the head had been taken out by a blaster barely bigger than a hold-out blaster

The equipment of the droid commandos included E-5 blaster rifles, a stun baton to knock out enemies, and a fusioncutter, used to cut down doors and other obstacles in their path. In addition to this, the leader of a droid commando unit often carried a vibrosword for close-combat purposes. They were also known to use grenades against enemy emplacements. Also, two commandos on Saleucami formed a sniper team, one acting as the shooter with a sniper rifle and the other using electrobinoculars, performing as the spotter

LEGALITY​

Restricted. Despite their exceptional rarity, they're still battle droids, so to possess one a person needs to have special permissions.

INTENT​

My main intent is to create a character based on this droid, but everyone is free to make other characters or perhaps acquire them through other means.

ADVANCED TECH​

YES. Due to their exceptional rarity, a plot is needed to retrieve one or more of these droids. For one droid, a 2 or 3 thread tech plot would work.

Archiving this, as I prefer to have a member of staff responsible for "tentpole" technologies such as this.
