PRODUCTION INFORMATION
Manufacturer: Visanj T’shkali
Affiliation: Closed-Market
Model: Battlemaster IV Droid Combat Programming Suite
Modularity: Yes; can be included in droid construction or added after-market into various types and designs of droids.
Production: Semi-Unique Production
Material: Software coding
SPECIAL FEATURES:
- Droid Battle Upgrade (Strategy Edition)
- Droid Warfare Upgrade
- Provides droids with an extensive library of strategies, both for fleet operations and ground warfare, together with case studies of famous generals (e.g. Revan, Thrawn, Dodonna, Madine, Ackbar, etc.) which combine to grant them insights and tactics derived and inspired by history’s greatest military leaders and events.
- Enables droids to function as master tacticians, becoming brilliant generals, admirals, and battlefield commanders, able to expertly and innovatively lead and direct their forces to victory on the grandest of scales.
- The equivalent to a doctoral study – and even larger reference base – of military strategy and tactics, the Battlemaster IV can create terrifically effective and successful commanders, however this database does not account for truly unconventional strategies, ab hoc battle-planning, and other variables sometimes encountered. When used effectively by foes, such variables can pose serious vulnerabilities which can be exploited to defeat droid generals.
- The best generals cannot control everything, and factors like supply lines, logistics, manpower shortages, unexpected drawbacks and complications, all of these things are factors which cannot always be accounted for and planned against, or easily overcome, meaning that for all the droid’s terrific tactical brilliance, victory is not a foregone conclusion and they can be defeated if and when such deviations from their strategy arise if they cannot quickly reformulate their plans to accommodate these setbacks.
- Can only be effective in the most advanced types of droids, i.e. those with the intellectual capacity to be truly effective.
The Battlemaster IV is an upgrade which can only be applied to the most advanced types of droids, making a terrifically smart droid into a brilliant and masterful tactician, commander, and strategist. Droids with this upgrade can be excellent generals or admirals, capable of leading massive planetary invasion forces, directing colossal fleets in system-wide battles, or plotting entire campaigns to wrest entire regions to their control. Able to draw upon thousands of years of strategy and history, to formulate impressive battle plans and adapt them to the dynamic landscape of war, even to use their knowledge to predict an enemy’s actions and move to defeat them, the Battlemaster IV can create a droid commander to be feared and revered across the galaxy.
