SPECIAL FEATURES

• Scanners & Sensors
  
  • Chem-receptors allowed droids to detect and analyze the chemical composition of the surrounding air.
  • The advanced droid omniscience unit enhances environmental awareness and detects nearby activity.
  • The advanced gyro-balance circuitry provides three-dimensional orientation and stability.

STRENGTHS

• Thermal & Radiation
  
  • The scout droid’s reinforced spherical body is engineered to withstand intense thermal exposure, allowing it to operate through extreme heat and sudden temperature fluctuations without compromising its internal systems. Its protective shielding also provides strong resistance to radiation sources, safeguarding its circuitry, sensors, and memory cores during prolonged exposure to hazardous environments.
• Durable
  
  • The EAC-17 "Omnis" Subterranean Scout Droid’s reinforced orbicular design is constructed from a durable composition of durasteel and titanium, providing exceptional structural strength and resistance to physical damage. This resilient sphere body allows the droid to withstand heavy impacts, harsh environments, and prolonged field operations while maintaining the integrity of its internal systems.
• Fast & Agile
  
  • The EAC-17 "Omnis" is engineered for exceptional speed, allowing it to rapidly traverse difficult terrain and reposition itself with remarkable efficiency. Its responsive servomotors grant it impressive agility, enabling rapid turns, evasive maneuvers, and precise movements even in confined or hazardous environments.

WEAKNESSES

• EMP/ION & Friends
  
  • The subterranean droid’s electronic systems are highly vulnerable to EMP and ion attacks, while nullification and suppression devices can disrupt, disable, or completely shut down its functions. Its mechanical nature also leaves it susceptible to Force-based abilities capable of interfering with, immobilizing, or damaging its systems, making it particularly vulnerable to trained Force-users.
• Energy & Sonic
  
  • The aerial droid is vulnerable to concentrated energy and sonic attacks, which can overload its systems, damage its sensors, and compromise its reinforced form. High-energy plasma, including the cutting power of a lightsaber, can penetrate or sever its durasteel-and-titanium frame, making prolonged exposure to such attacks especially dangerous.
• Defenseless
  
  • The EAC-17 "Omnis" possesses virtually no dedicated defensive systems, leaving it defenseless against direct attacks and unable to meaningfully protect itself once engaged. Its only reliable means of survival is its exceptional speed and agility, which it must use to evade threats, retreat from combat, and avoid sustained engagement.

DESCRIPTION

The EAC-17 “Omnis” Subterranean Scout Droid was conceived and manufactured by the Eidolon Arkwright Consortium as a specialized exploration platform for environments where conventional reconnaissance methods proved impractical or impossible.

Designed to venture beneath planetary surfaces, the "Omnis" was equipped to navigate caverns, mine networks, volcanic passages, buried ruins, and other subterranean regions that were too confined, unstable, hazardous, or inaccessible to conventional vehicles and personnel. Rather than serving as a combat unit, the droid was built around reconnaissance, exploration, surveying, and the transmission of valuable environmental data back to its operators.

The "Omnis" possesses a rugged durasteel-and-titanium sphere body that provides considerable durability while maintaining a lightweight configuration necessary for its exceptional speed and agility. Its reinforced construction allows it to withstand impacts, abrasions, temperature extremes, and radiation exposure encountered underground, while its responsive servomotors enable rapid movement through narrow tunnels and uneven terrain.

Advanced sensor and navigation systems allow the droid to map unfamiliar subterranean environments, identify geological formations, locate passages and potential hazards, and gather intelligence in regions where communications and conventional surveying equipment may struggle to function.

Despite its impressive mobility and resilience, the EAC-17 “Omnis” was never intended to stand and fight. The droid possesses virtually no dedicated defensive systems, relying almost entirely upon its speed, agility, and ability to maneuver through difficult terrain to evade danger.

Its electronic architecture remains vulnerable to EMP and ion attacks, as well as nullification and suppression technologies, while concentrated energy, sonic weaponry, and high-energy plasma, including lightsaber strikes, can inflict severe damage upon its round shaped frame. Force-based abilities can likewise interfere with or immobilize the machine, making the "Omnis" most effective when operating as a swift, elusive scout rather than a combatant.
