Question Droid, Factory or NPC?

[Dral-Kar'ta Saandyr]

I am thinking of creating a Droid sidekick for my Character who is in law enforcement. The Droid would be an old(er) HK-84 assassin droid modified to a protocol droid per cannon but with added programs to function as an administrative assistant, Security/Bodyguard. It would retain combat abilities but its main purpose would be as a foil for my character and not primarily for combat. I am not sure if I need to do a Factory or NPC submission. I view it as an NPC Companion but it will have some abilities not found in a normal HK droid so I am not sure.

If it is going to be a character, then i would do NPC. If were just a random unnamed droid then go to the factory.

If it's a modified canon droid you'll need to sub to the factory first then the NPC character to the Codex. If you want to go the NPC sub route anyways.
