During his childhood and college years, Mykel Fellheart slowly gathered an impressive collection of texts and artifacts, which he stored in a chamber at his family’s mansion. Charmingly titled the Fellheart Archives, the collection was surprisingly extensive, with Mykel making great use of datacards and hologram projectors to allow the easy storage and accessibility of his collection in the relatively small space available. Upon leaving home for university, and later for service in the Eternal Navy, Mykel grew worried that his collection would one day be tampered with, either by his parents or by a more nefarious element. He decided that he needed a loyal cadre of curators that could watch over his collection when he could not personally be present.
Though his family had access to numerous S.H.F.D. androids, Mykel found them too basic for his needs, and loathed their lack of true security and defense programming. Therefore, the master scholar decided to produce his own droid, custom-tailored for his unique needs. The result was the FCD-series curator droid, a bipedal, roughly-humanoid droid specifically intended for the preservation and maintenance of the Fellheart Archives. Though possessing the human face and torso reminiscent of S.H.F.D.’s and other humanoid droids, Mykel gave his FCD-series six arms that could be fitted with varies attachments, and also programmed them with rudimentary security protocols that were lacking in other types of protocol and library droids. While the limits of the chassis and the demands of the curator programming prevented any true military capability, the droids still had the ability to alert more significant security forces to any breach of the archives, and at least make an attempt to subdue an unsuspecting intruder.
Design in hand, Mykel went to Rocksolid Arms, original producer of the S.H.F.D., to custom-order two of the FCD-series droids, more than enough for his currently small physical space, with the intention of building more once a greater physical space was available.
