DESCRIPTION
Minxly Droids used to be a bit eccentric, both in their physical design and their logic programming. The company was a small outfit based out of Hutt Space that refurbish old droids, remaking them into a hodge-podge of droid parts that combines into a fairly modern droid of its kind. Making the droids reliable will depend entirely on its owner. But this business concept did not stand the test of time and Minxly Droids sank into obscurity.However, some of Minxly Droids' designs were recently acquired by Zeno Droid Technologies (ZDT). After breaking down the schematics and determining that the old SAD-4A was a decent design, ZDT updated and revamped the design of the droid and packaged their own version of the once successful astrogation "benchmark".
Much like other astrogation droids, the unit is able to perform repair work on most any platform. It still provides support as part of a starship crew, able to even pilot in a pinch. It has the module space for an astrogation co-processor, but it does not come with this modification stock.
Like most ZDT droids, the 220-series is a tinker's droid. It is rare to find this droid with the same physical appearance as another. Some are outfitted with wheels, tracks, bipedal legs, etc. Others have one articulated arm, two articulated arms or no arms. There is even an annual convention where the owners of ZDT-220s compare notes, buy parts and show off how they have modified their droids. However, the newly manufactured model of this droid sports tracked locomotion and two articulated arms. However, this modification comes at the cost of power and the 220-series is unable to hold a 72 hour charge and is limited to 60 hours. ZDT designed the 220-series to serve as a dependable companion for spacers across the galaxy.
STATISTICS REFERENCE
The ZDT-220 has the exact same statistics as the R6-Series Astromech Droid, except for two minor differences. Let me know if this is fine being a Generic Technology entry. Here are the differences:
- ZDT-220 has 2 Manipulator Arms instead of 1
- ZDT-220 has a 60 hour duration instead of a 72 hour duration
LEGALITY
Legal. Astromech droids such as the ZDT-220 series are permitted in most regions of the Galaxy.INTENT
To create another type of astrogation droid as a model to be sold by ZDT, to fill a niche in the astrogation droid market where the droid is equipped with manipulators for a more humanoid version of the droid, bring back some nostalgia from last timeline, and as a droid platform for PCs.
