Tyrant Queen of Darkness
DC-H.R.D. "Obsidienne" Series
- Intent: To create a line of elite Human Replica Droids (HRDs) used by the Dark Court as infiltrators, assassins, and intelligence agents—serving as extensions of the Dark Queen's will across the galaxy.

- Armaments:
- Dual-mounted retractable vibroblades within forearms (monomolecular phrik edge)
- Concealed blaster pistol compartment (hip or thigh; low-signature model)
- Modular wrist weapon port (may host toxin injectors, dart launchers, or miniature sonic emitters)
- Misc. Equipment:
- Bio-mimetic photoreactive dermal mesh (shifts heat, scent, and pigmentation to mimic humanoid patterns)
- Neural interface receiver (for encrypted remote override or mission data upload)
- Synthetic pheromone diffuser (for infiltration, persuasion, or crowd control)
- Multispectrum ocular suite (thermal, ultraviolet, low-light, electromagnetic pulse mapping)
- Cortical recording buffer (permits memory compartmentalization and psychological "masks")
- Stealth shroud generator (low-profile, short-duration active camouflage field)
- EMP-baffled redundant CPU cluster ("Obsidienne Core")
- Cryo-safe bio-suspension mode for long-term infiltration
RESISTANCES
| Type | Rating |
|---|---|
| Energy (Blasters) | High |
| Kinetic | High |
| Lightsabers | Average |
| Sonic | Average |
| EMP / Ion | Very High |
| Corrosive / Elemental | Average |
| Psychological Influence (Mind Trick, etc.) | Very High |
- Perfect Human Simulation: Near-flawless mimicry of breath, pulse, warmth, scent, and micro-expression; capable of passing deep medical scans for short durations.
- Adaptive Combat Algorithms: Learns from opponents in real time, optimizing strike timing, guard angles, and environmental usage.
- Compartmentalized Consciousness: Can split identity layers—e.g., an undercover persona and a combat subroutine—allowing perfect cover operation.
- Remote Override Protocol "Queen's Whisper": Allows Darth Virelia or designated Exarchs to directly seize motor control and consciousness across subspace.
- Distributed Memory Mesh: Destroying one HRD does not compromise central intelligence—data is periodically uploaded to the intelligence core on Malachor.
- Loyalty Lock: Core programming renders betrayal neurologically impossible; attempts to override trigger neural collapse.
- Impeccable Infiltrators: Capable of blending seamlessly into civilian, military, or noble environments for extended periods—can emulate emotion, fatigue, and aging.
- Deadly Close-Quarters Combatants: Optimized for precision strikes, rapid assassination, and silent elimination; capable of overpowering augmented humanoids.
- Resilient to Electronic Countermeasures: EMP-baffled processors and redundant shielding make disabling them extremely difficult.
- Hive Synchronization: Through encrypted quantum link, Obsidienne units share tactical data across sectors, updating one another's reflex maps.
- Absolute Obedience: The Queen's command code cannot be falsified or corrupted—obedience is total and final.
- Thermal Overload: Prolonged rapid combat may overheat their synthetic musculature, leading to decreased precision and potential limb seizure.
- Identity Fragility: Extended undercover assignments may cause behavioral blending—some units develop partial self-awareness and erratic emotional mimicry.
- Limited Repairability in Field: The synthetic dermal mesh requires specialized repair stations; severe damage reveals their true nature.
- Queen's Whisper Risk: If intercepted or corrupted (theoretically), the override signal could immobilize them—though this has never been successfully achieved.
The DC-H.R.D. "Obsidienne" Series represents the Dark Court's ultimate expression of synthetic perfection: artificial life molded into the image of devotion, deception, and death. Created within the subterranean production vaults of Malachor's Shadow Spire, these droids are forged under the direct oversight of Project: VESPER, Virelia's secretive fusion of alchemy and cybernetics.
Each Obsidienne is crafted to resemble an idealized human woman—elegant, deadly, and eerily serene. Their synthflesh skin can shift tone or texture, and their eyes can display hundreds of subtle emotional cues, allowing them to infiltrate human, alien, or even Sith societies without detection. But beneath the illusion of grace lies a killing machine of terrifying precision.
Obsidienne units serve as infiltrators, couriers, interrogators, and bodyguards, depending on configuration. Within the Dark Court, they are known collectively as the "Queen's Shadows." Some whisper that Virelia herself designed their psychocores to echo fragments of her own mind, ensuring they share her temperament: cold, persuasive, and unflinchingly loyal.
When activated in combat mode, their movements are fluid and predatory—calculations performed faster than a heartbeat. They coordinate across the battlefield through silent transmissions, weaving through chaos like dancers of annihilation. Yet, when standing still, they are almost gentle—programmed to study human behavior not merely to imitate it, but to manipulate it.
Though mass-produced, each Obsidienne bears a unique vocal cadence and facial nuance, ensuring individuality where needed for cover operations. Within the Dark Court, their presence is unmistakable: porcelain faces, violet-tinted optics, and the faint whisper of servos beneath perfect stillness.
