Description: This group of battle droids is ultimately loyal to their droid commander, GL3AM. They are unquestioning in their execution of orders, though they do have the personalities often seen in battle droids -- this is not so much a technology glitch in these droids but a simple method of allowing them to fight alongside and boost moral of organic fighters. They are not overly trained or dangerous, but are easily and cheaply replaceable.

[SIZE=9pt]Unit Experience[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]: Trained[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Combat Function[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]: These droids, though afforded individual intelligence, fight as a unit. Their tactics are simple and predictable, though organics can control the unit through the approval of commander GL3AM allowing them more innovative strategies. They are not concerned for the loss of individual members, because they are so easily replaceable. They provide support to the army as a whole, and generally cannot hold their own against an organic or other force without the advantage of overwhelming numbers. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Easily replaceable droids allow for large unit sizes and risky maneuvers without significant costs.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Unquestioning loyalty to commander allow for quick decisions and efficient maneuvering.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Individual personalities allow them to interact with other soldiers and fight outside of the unit as well, and they do not suffer from the weaknesses of the hive mind[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Weak droids that are easily targeted and killed individually[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Cannot make individual decisions, so they live and die together. The plan cannot be independently adapted to the situation without direct commands.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Easily recognizable -- their patriotic purple shimmer [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Droids are constantly being cycled in and out of the CIS’s large forces. Project Sparkle was a motion set in place by several high ranking CIS members several years ago, to form a unit of more trained droids who would be easily recognizable in a battle -- helping to combat the prejudice that organics often held against droids, the purple is indicative of a more skilled fighter. Of course, B1 Battle Droids are B1 Battle Droids, so the unit was not without weaknesses. Though it has experienced its fair share of defeats, the droids are cycled constantly and moral is always high. They have no permanent station. [/SIZE]
