Intent: Although a quasi-submission for the HRDs created by the Archangel processing machine, our wanting to formally do a marketplace thread means there should be an independent submission for these units. These are in line with Star Wars canon.
Development Thread: Yes, the processing machine which makes them was approved here: http://starwarsrp.net/topic/17218-the-archangel-processing-machine/ which includes a semi-approval of this submission.
Manufacturer: Archangel Research and Design
Model: ARD X-1
Affiliation: Archangel, their purchaser.
Modularity: Appearance, height, gender, appearance and programming are all changeable. Clients can request practically anything human or near-human, including near perfect replicas of others.
Production: Minor.
Material: Durasteel, high strength polymers, cloned organic coverings.
Classification: Third/Fourth Degree. HRDs straddle the line between combat and human interaction models.
Weight: Varies but usual models 100kgs.
Height: Varies depending on processed individual. Standard models 1.8 metres.
Movement: Bipedal
Armaments: Aside from its strength these units have no in built weapons. They are programmed to use a wide variety of ranged and melee weapons though.
Misc. Equipment: Visual processing modes; infrared, low-light, 20x magnification. Vocabulator capable of mimicking any known voice and speaking several thousand languages. Invisible communicator with audio or text broadcasting to other units on the same planet. (Secret holonet transceiver used by Archangel to control or monitor units.)
Description:
The HRDs created by the Processing machine are similar to Maelion and Moira in most aspects. Their regular human exteriors conceal a machine.
Strengths:
  • Incredibly strong. Their capability is usually upwards of double a comparable human. For a very short period they can lift triple the weight. As they also feel no pain they can use their bodies as weapons or to smash through barriers.
  • Extremely resilient. An HRD can take several blaster bolts to the head or chest before the unit fails. Limbs can be severed and severe damage done, but it will press on regardless.
  • Skilled Infiltrators. HRDs are designed to look, act and seem human. They can blend into social situations, using their abilities to get close to their targets.
  • Relentless. HRDs are assassins and combat droids of a highly advanced level. They know neither fear nor any other emotion except when they mimic it. They are implacable and ruthless.

Weaknesses:
  • Machine Vulnerabilities. As machines HRDs suffer especially from ion and electrical attacks. A blast of Sith Lightning or an ion grenade can severely damage vital systems even if the unit is not destroyed.
  • Not invincible. HRDs are powerful, but in the high tech modern galaxy they are not invulnerable. Blaster bolts to the head or chest can disable them, as can powerful explosives and especially lightsabres.
  • Detectable. This first wave of HRDs are not infallible. Anyone able to detect their weight will find it off, whilst someone able to do a deep scan will notice oddities. Finally, a Force user could sense that something is off as the machine beneath is not truly living.
  • Not Human. HRDs can look, act and seem human, but they are not. Even humans processed into machines soon lose the ability to actually empathise and ‘be’ human. While they are good at fooling in the short term, their inherent ‘wrongness’ comes through and someone in daily contact every day will eventually realise they are not as they seem.

In other areas the HRDs are based on the Guri method of construction. Their skin is cloned human skin from their original template. The blood and other organic material is synthetic whilst the skeleton is a mix of metal and high strength polymers.

Mod request 9.3.18
Original Section(s):
Production: Limited to Minor. The fully flesh covered HRDs are produced as needed (limited) but spare components and backup models are created more broadly (minor).
New Section(s):
Production: Minor.
 
It seems a little redundant to have this approved a second time, but I understand the necessity for a larger production scale model and I'll stamp my approval on this.
Pending secondary.
