OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
SPECIAL FEATURES
The AX-Mark III was designed to provide a light, cheap, almost disposable, combat droid for the Republic Remnant. They are deployed in one of two ways, the first is in large droid 'swarms' to hover over the battlefield scouting and harassing the foe, the second is as squad support. A few will be assigned to Remnant military squads with the squad command given a control module to allow them to assume direct control of the AX-Mark III when needed either to explore situations that would be too dangerous to send a living soldier or to use them to surprise the foe. They are rather fragile and are not meant to stand up to enemy fire, rather, to avoid it with their agility and smaller size. They come with two weapons, almost always a duplicate pair of weapons [so, two smgs are far, far more common then an smg and blaster rifle] for fire support.

SPECIAL FEATURES
- Ferrocarbon Coating
- Sensorscope
- Memory Diskette
- Insulfoam
- Remote Receiver
- Information Matrix Center
- Remote Receiver - The droid can be remotely controlled either by a central computer system or from an uplink device carried by a nearby unit [as it is often attached to squads, this unit is often carried by the sergeant or corporal].
- Heat Resistant - Thanks to the insulfoam, the droid is more resistant to high temperature which is very useful for stopping overheating.
- Simple Is As Simple Does - The droid is very simple and cheap, the weaponry its carrying arguably almost, if not more, expensive then the droid itself. It does not require much in the way of maintenance and the ferrocarbon coating helps stop corrosion further lessening the logistical drain of the droids.
- Variable Weaponry - It can be armed with a large variety of weaponry, it always carries two duplicate weapons [save for the case of the LRB where it only carries the one] for higher fire support.
- Simple Is As Simple Does - The droid is very basic and is not capable of much outside of its primary programmed duties and it lacks a sufficient logic matrix to learn from its mistakes or able to properly do threat assessment.
- Hello Back Door - Thanks to its Remote Receiver, the droid is very vulnerable to slicers as the remote uplink can be hijacked or interrupted allowing someone with the skills to take control of the droid from a safe distance.
- Fire Ion Beams - The droid has no ion protection and any decent Ion surge will either deactivate the droid or outright fry its brain.
- Can't Reload! - Due to a lack of hands or internal reloading mechanism [deemed too expensive for such a simply droid], it lacks any means of reloading its weaponry once they run dry. Another being, such as soldiers or engineers nearby, to reload its weaponry for it.
