Description:

The defense orbs are a set of small droids, two to be exact that work in tandem. Due to this, they are not the most heavily armed battle droids in existence but do possess a unique method of fighting. Via sensors inside of them, they are able to detect if someone is going to attempt aggression against their owner and once detected, they commence punishing the person. The punishment consists of them shooting a laser directly into the opponent, or in some cases a missile. These droids have limited intelligence, even for battle droids. Their size also makes them incapable of participating in large scale engagements. Furthermore, due to the limited processing power, it would be very hard to reprogram them.

The defense orbs will not shut down, unless their owner commands it. They could be sliced, like any other droid. They can be destroyed, like any other droid but it comes with a biometric scanner that allows it to 'imprint' basically recognizing the first organic after purchase and activation as it's 'ward' or 'charge' and the one it is meant to protect. Unfortunately, sometimes these droids do go into overkill in protecting the individuals they care for, or individual. These droids are presently very susceptible to both Electromagnetic pulses, and ion blasts.

It possesses a Force Field inside of it that can protect it for a short time from Ion weaponry, if allowable.
Do you have a canonical wookiepedia article or submission which has explained such? If not, no, that is not allowed.

As something like this, but downsized will not be allowed I will remove the ion shielding. Do you think the EMP shielding needs to be removed as well?
The Ion shielding technology you listed is used by large starships when travelling through space to keep their systems online during ion storms, it does not protect them from ion blasts received from ion cannons. Also, EMP blocking via a faraday cage/mesh or permeable metal does not work if not grounded, which means unless the orb is touching the ground the EMP will still penetrate and cause internal problems with electronics.
