- Wait, what: R-series Astromech Droids are some of the most ubiquitous of their type throughout the galaxy, yet they are rarely, if ever, armed, giving the Blastromech Droid the element of surprise
- Small target profile: Blastromech Droids are quite small and relatively hard to hit
- Droids don't complain: Blastromech Droids are perfect for guard and patrol duties, as they never get tired nor do they lose focus
- Copilot: Amazingly, the Blastromech Droid can still "dock" into Astromech Sockets aboard starships if needed, though they are no longer as useful as a "base" R-series Astromech Droid is
- Locomotion: Blastromech droids can hover brief distances thanks to their inbuilt Rocket Thrusters
- Weak: Blastromech Droids are quite poorly armored and are easily destroyed by even the weakest of attacks
- Slow: Since they were never designed for combat, Blastromech Droids are quite slow moving
- Short ranged: The Blastromech Droid's Mk 1/W Twin Light Blaster Cannon is only effective at short range, forcing the droid to engage targets at close distance
- Loss of versatility: The removal of the Blastromech's rotating head unit has removed with it some of the droid's previous versatility
- Not a threat: Enemies may choose to ignore the droid or simply run past it, which the droid is unable to prevent from happening
Once of the most serious issues facing the Mahporeem Imperial Remnant is its chronic lack of manpower, though this has been somewhat alleviated by Mahporeem's ascension into the Imperial Confederation. Nonetheless, the Imperial Remnant continues to look for ways to increase the amount of military assets that it can muster.
Enter the "Blastromech Droid", a modified Astromech Droid that has seen its rotating head unit removed and replaced with a Mk 1/W Twin Light Blaster Cannon. Blastromech Droid are employed by the Imperial Remnant as guards and sentries, freeing up more important troops and units for battlefield purposes.
Of course, Blastromech Droids are, in effect, rather poor combatants overall, and the removal of their rotating domes has somewhat reduced the amount of versatility that the droid is normally supposed to have. Had the Imperial Remnant not have been so desperate, the Blastromech Droid probably would have never been built in the first place.
