The Most Basic Model
Intent: To create a baseline Human-Shard Interaction Droid, or HS-ID, for the masses of Orax
Development Thread: None
Manufacturer: Bankei Technologies
Model: BT-Series 3 Droid
Affiliation: People of Orax
Modularity: The BT-Series Human-Shard Interaction Droids are incredibly modular. From various color options to photoreceptor and voice modulator voices the BT-Series HS-IDs are built to order for each individual.
Production: Mass Produced
Material:
- Droid Components
- Shard Housing Components
- Aluminium
- Durasteel
Weight: 85-108 Kilograms
Height: 1.6-2 Meters
Movement: Bipedal
Armaments: None on the base model which this is the sub for
Misc. Equipment:
- Shard Housing
- Memory Crystal
- Olfactory Sensor
- Photoreceptors (2, Human Range)
- Electromagnetic Translator
- Vocabulator
- TrangLang Communications Module
- Warmth Simulator
- Expression/Emotion Simulator and or Indicator lights
- Light and simple to repair and put together
- Durable
- "Organic" feel to movements and expressions
- Allows Shard to retain hold large amounts of data and languages for communication with almost any species
- Perfect for Human-Shard and Shard-Shard relations
- Because the Shard are such a long lived species, replacements throughout their lifetimes will be many as they droids are meant to last a maximum of 150 Years
- Retrieving data can take time for a Shard
- Shards still have to learn languages loaded into TrangLang Communications Module, else they will fumble over words and babble nonsense
- Unlike other Droids, the power source for these droids will run out if Shard does not initiate a "Sleep" state
- Even with "Sleep" states droid power packs can be expensive and last a finite amount of time
- Expensive for many low income and even middle-class families to purchase and maintain.
In terms of construction, light materials were utilized when possible along with highly conductive materials in order for the electromagnetic signals given off by the Shard to be read and processed at speeds faster than the human brain. This was a side effect of droid construction, however because of this Shards in Series 3 and 4 droids often boast much quicker reflexes than humans as well as faster data comprehension. Bankei Technolovies created this series of droid in order to bridge the gap between Man and Shard. Despite its series number, the Series 3 droid was the first of its kind developed by Bankei Technologies with the number corresponding to the droid class it would have been were the Shards not inhabiting them. Technically they would be classified as Class 3 Care Droids.
