DESCRIPTION
The heavy reliance of the Silver Jedi Order on heavy weapons on the field can cause logistical nightmares in battle, especially for artillery units and starfighter units. Hoversleds, while practical, can only do so much; the heavy refresh droid can reload ordnance in a variety of vehicles faster than sentients usually can. Despite this, the Silver Jedi Order dd not think it would add much to increase the defenses of the heavy refresh droids, and also so that they could be sold on civilian markets, so it is vulnerable to ion fire. It is called a heavy refresh droid because it can carry five tons of ordnance atop the hoversled, and also automate the reloading of ordnance. The programming, unfortunately, is very simplistic.

Strengths:

• The droid carries out the resupplying of ordnance efficiently and without complaint
• The droid can reload ordnance in a variety of vehicles
• Great ordnance carrying capacity

Weaknesses:

• Made for no other purpose, the droids are rather simplistic
• Easy to spot on a battlefield
• Vulnerable to ion/EMP weapons

Hello, I'll be the factory judge reviewing your submission. If you have questions, please feel free to respond to this thread once we are underway.

I have to ask: if your description claims that the Jedi did not bother to add much in the way of defensive capabilities to this unit, wouldn't this make the craft vulnerable to most forms of anti vehicle fire? Is it heavily armored against ballistic or explosive damage? If the unit isn't, I can imagine that a single penetrating round could ignite the entire load of ammo carried, and serve to make the unit a great IED on the battlefield.

Perhaps re-do this as a vehicle submission with armor resistances in mind.

[member="The Major"] Perhaps it might be best to archive the sub then...
