SPECIAL FEATURES

• Former Organic- the android bodies house the spirits of the commanding officers of Akhuul's Sautra's armies inside.
• Commanders- they are designed in likeness to command droids in their capabilities of independent cognition.
• Force Radiance- because of the Sith Alchemy used in the forging of the Derumic Android bodies, force sensitives can feel a radiating feeling of Dark Side energy.
• Able to Speak- unlike lower ranking androids, the Officers are able to speak in order to command the Soldiers under their command.
  • Only able to speak in, or understand dialogue and commands in ancient Sith language.

STRENGTHS

• Derumium Based- the Derumium that makes up the android form gives much resistances to damage in combat.
• Greater Cognition- the transferred consciousnesses of the higher ranking warriors in Akhuul's armies gave the Officers in their android bodies the same level of cognition as if they were living beings.
  • Memories from past battles and services are hardwired into the android brains preventing the Officers from forgetting their experience to keep the advantage of those memories.
    • New memories are kept if they are outside of monotonous patrols and tasks to allow for an independent learning capacity.
• Fighting Prowess- commonly armed with war staffs made from Derumium, the Officers are either programmed or have received training before the transferrance, to be skillfully wield the war staffs in combat.

WEAKNESSES

• Irreplaceable- because of a lack of Derumium that can be used to make more androids, which means replacements cannot be made if one is destroyed beyond repair.
• Middle Rank- despite having the ability to learn things indpendently and command Soldiers under their command, their initiative to act on their own is hampered due to the programmed heirarchy.
  • Will carry out routine commands from higher ranks until told otherwise with some level of flexible thought in the execution of those commands.
• Melee Skilled- their weapons training is specialized for wielding the Derumium war staffs, constraining their personal combat abilities in ranged engagements.

DESCRIPTION
Before the Great Hyperspace War erupted, and the Golden Age of the ancient Sith was in full swing, Akhuul Sautra's armies were all stationed at his private world of Sautra Vokh to secure the construction of his powerbase. The commanders were crucial in delegating the efforts for Sautra Vokh's secrets to not leave the system before it was time to unveil. As part of Akhuul's grand plan for immortality, he wanted these commanders to be able to still perform their jobs after the transferrance takes place. Akhuul saw them as one of the most crucial members of his chain of command, aside from himself and the Lords, to have the transferrance go properly for them. As a result, when these generals, commanders, and all other military officers from his armies were in their new forms, the Derumic Android legions had field commanders that had the cognition ability of organic officers with the strengths of the Derumic Android form.

In modern times (as of this post) the Officers hold a midway section in the Derumic Android heirarchy alongside the Scribes (the former scientists under Akhuul's employ). Their job is to lead groups of Soldiers either in battle or on the routine patrols on Sautra Vokh. They are fewer in number than the soldiers, but still among the most common of the higher ranks of Derumic Androids. In modern times (time of this post), Officers are still hidden from the greater galaxy and only operate according to the Derumic Android heirarchy. As a result, the chances of this technology being abused is next to impossible.
