DESCRIPTION

The BAF-77 "Specter" Sniper Droid is the latest precision combat platform developed by Balmorran Arms for the Galactic Empire elite forces. Drawing on lessons from prior droid models, the Specter is designed for long-range eliminations, stealth operations, and anti-personnel strikes behind enemy lines.

Manufactured with lightweight but resilient materials and built around a tactical targeting AI, the BAF-77 excels in autonomous or coordinated deployments. Its integrated sniper system is engineered for extreme-range accuracy, aided by gyroscopic stabilizers and multi-environment optics. A short-term stealth field generator allows it to remain hidden while setting up or extracting from a kill zone, making it valuable in urban, jungle, or arid terrain.

Due to its limited production and high cost, the BAF-77 is not deployed en masse. Instead, it is typically assigned to special operations units, Inquisitorial kill teams, or high-security overwatch roles. While not invincible, the droid's blend of range, stealth, and intelligence make it a lethal addition to any Imperial arsenal especially for missions where discretion and lethality are paramount.

Very cool as always. The main image is broken (expired), because it was a discord link. I suppose you want to edit this.
