DESCRIPTION
The D3-TRG model droid (also nicknamed as 'Turing') is an model line of droids made after the Blackwell Technologies take-over of Cybot Galactica. The Turing droid is, as the designation suggests, is another off-shoot of the D3 droid line designed by Newton Arden. With access to Cybot Galactica's unique H.D.I. technology, Blackwell Automata has made their own version of the hologram-disguise droid with the reliable D3-style chassis serving as the base of the model.Unlike Cybot Galactica that used the TC droids as infiltrators and assassins, and them being obviously illegal, Blackwell Automata has designed these droids for more... mundane and more marketable purposes: that being luxury entertainment droids. After all, these droids can project themselves in a number of ways, change their voices, and be programmed to know a number of entertainment 'acts' and .etc. They could be used for personal entertainment, for wider entertainment, perhaps for an actor for a holo-flick, the possibilities are many.
The Turing droid has no in-built weapons, no combat ability, or saboteur skills as this was built to be a droid purely for civilian use
The base droid is outfitted with a standard holographic disguise matrix, a modifiable Vocabulator, and an integrated comlink. These tools are not without flaws, however. The H.D.M, for example, is only a hologram projector, it simply projects a hologram shell over its target to make them look like something else of similar size and copy body movements/facial gestures. They are not solid and often can be found out with something as simple as a pat on the back going past the shell, causing the hologram to glitch out and pixelate. This effect also happens when the droid is running on a low battery or with quick/unpredictable movements.
Example:
While the H.D.M can create holograms on the fly for users, it must first scan the intended copied target for around five minutes. At which time a visible red light projects out of the device and scans the target meant for copying, only projecting a final copy over the user after that time is elapsed. Most droids when sent on missions had a few disguises programmed in to avoid this issue, but they were situational to the mission and did not have much use outside of it.
In pairing with this, the advanced Vocabulator also has potential drawbacks. Needing to be manually adjusted to match pitch and volume with each time it is changed given the wide variety of voices. This process, of course, needs a long enough sample and around 1-3 minutes given the ‘challenge’ of voice. It should be noted this does not account for unique voice traits, such as a lisp or stutter and other intonation, only really going as far as accents.

LEGALITY
Unlike the TC droids in which the D3-TRG's technology is derived from, these droids are are marketed and designed solely for entertainment. so these droids are legal. Being caught with this droid having assassin/saboteur/combat skills and/or programming would cross back into being very much highly illegal and would void the warranty with Blackwell.INTENT
To make a civilian marketable model of droid that uses the hologram projection technology of the TC droid, which this droid is a reskin ofRESTRICTIONS
This droid model will be subject to extra scrutiny during role-play.
