Strengths:

• Soulless Machines. The ACU-MK 1 Combat Droids are programmed to be relentless fighters. They show no remorse, nor pity to the enemy.
• Stealth Troops. The ACU-MK 1 wardroids are very light weighted, allowing them to be deployed for ambush, surprise, or night raids.

Weaknesses:

• Limited Capabilities. A warrior-culture the Athysians may be, they would never allow AI to claim any significant glory. The droid units produced on Athys are meant to serve as auxiliary and support units, and not as vanguard skilled troops.
• Hivemind. These droids operate with each unit being monitored by a singular computer. If this is damaged, or deactivated, the whole unit dies.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The ACU-MK 1 Droids are found onboard Athysian Warships, serving as auxiliary defense troops, or onboard Space Stations, where they are deployed for tactical patrols and policing duties. However, this should not let someone's mind to indicate they are no capable war droids. The ACU-MK 1 droid regiments are huge line-troop units, meant to boost the Athysian military during ground or space battles, while several of these mass-produced wardroids are being used as occupation force on distant Athysian colonies.

Irratar Hemstagon could you please link the droid model to the wookieepedia article and then we can get this approved.

 

[Irratar Hemstagon]

Judah Lesan there is none, this is OG sub without a basis on existing model

 

[Judah Lesan]

Alright we can leave this here, but you do need to submit the actual droid to the factory if you want to create an npc unit since is technology.

Here is the template for you.

I’ll just wait for you to get this squared away. Just link it here when you get it done.

Judah Lesan i am sorry i face a slight confusion. This is meant to serve as an army unit. It is a model of an industrialized battle droid model. Isnt the NPC template i fill, to enforce that? Just like the normal army units? 0.0

You are correct, but because you are submitting a unit which is not made up of Star Wars canon droids you will need to submit the technology to the factory. The reason for this is they have a pvp application and we do not check for technical balance and specs in the codex.

NPC Creation rules do state:

Droid or Artificial Intelligence NPCs submitted to the Codex must use an Approved Factory Submission, canon model or class, without significant technical modifications.

So until we deal with the one piece that is missing I cannot approve this submission. It is a great submission, ready to go on my end other than this one detail. I hope this helps.
