SPECIAL FEATURES
Strengths:
  • 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 generator 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.
  • Sensor Resistant - Thanks to its universal jammer and nutorium alloy plating give it a strong resistance to most sensors as well as a level of protection from weapon tracking systems.
Weaknesses:
  • 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 simple droid], it lacks any means of reloading its weaponry once they run dry. Another being, such as soldiers or engineers nearby, need to reload its weaponry for it.
  • Here I Am! - It uses a blaster sniper rifle which creates a very visible and distinct bolt when fired. Any stealth it has goes up in smoke the second it fires as anyone around will be able to see where the shot came from and the droid, itself, is not invisible, merely resistant to sensors.
DESCRIPTION
The AX-Mark V was designed to act as a mobile, fairly disposable [as the parts can often be recovered and scavenged should it fall in battle] sniper. Unlike the Mark III, the Mark V is not deployed in large swarms, instead, they are given out to squads that may need them [determined by their commanders and logistical supply] or are sent out alone to harass the enemy. Just like the Mark III, it can be remotely controlled so a person with control manually position the droid or manually fire its weapon for increased accuracy. Unlike the Mark III, the Mark V is given only a single sniper rifle rather then the 'dual' weapons the Mark III is armed with.
