OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Weaknesses :
Though based in the Colonies, Holowan Laboratories had little issue allying with the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Their specialized products had served the droid armies once before, and they would continue to do so, for a price of course. While most Holowan products are regularly shipped to CIS territories for use, a custom order was made by Darth Metus himself.
Those upon Halowan got to work, examining many current and old droid schematics, aiming to put the best of them all into one. It has managed to retain a majority of its speed, boasting higher defensive capabilities thanks to its phrik plating, along with the ion countermeasures that have also been installed. Dubbed IG-802, this MagnaGuard is the first of the unique duo to be shipped and sent to serve Darth Metus.

- MagnaGuard Design: These droids are made to battle force-users. This model is no exception, equipped with all of the features that are standard of the IG-800 MagnaGuard design. Advanced servomotors allow it to keep up in lightsaber combat, while it's heuristic programming constantly adapts the droid to whatever situation may be at hand. A warrior through and through, the droid will even continue to battle while missing limbs or a head.
- Defenses: This MagnaGuard has been outfitted with durable phrik plating, specifically in anticipation of lightsaber combat. Various sensors allow the droid to be much more aware of its surroundings, and thus more capable of serving their master. Specifically requested, this model is far more resilient to EMP/Ion based weaponry, due to the capacitance shield along with a feature that is new to the IG-800, an ionization buffer.
Weaknesses :
- Back-up System: Mounted within the torso, is a back-up system that allows the droid body to continue functioning even when decapitated. While not a widely known fact, anyone familiar with the model would be able to take advantage of this, for a single well placed strike to the chest makes disabling the droid much easier. A skilled enough slicer could also hack the back-up system and disable it.
- Shield: The capacitance shield built within the MagnaGuard is it's first and strongest line of defense against electricity based weaponry, but it can only take so much energy. Prolonged (10-20 seconds, varies) exposure or rapid/high payload of such effects will overheat the shield, shutting it down, and causing the droid to rely on other means of defense.
