[SIZE=12pt]The Interstellar Protectorate-Standard Combat Unity Droid, or the IP-SCUD, is the first in the IP-Line of droids produced for the new galactic power. This droid is designed to take the place of organic foot soldiers, or to work in coordination with organic foot soldiers. The droids have been built with a set of solar recharging systems that allow it to continue to function for long periods in areas with high solar ability. These droids were made to be quicker than a human and more reactive, they were also given advanced droid based communications abilities that increased their coordinative abilities with other droids. In case they were disarmed, or otherwise sent into the field without an external armament, the droids have a wrist mounted tri-blaster capable of delivering rapid fire light shots, ideally for lightly armored opponents, as well as a retractable dagger made of composite of metals that grant it strong cutting capabilities, still only recommended for lightly armored individuals. The IP-SCUD has a thin layer of Duranium which cannot survive a standard blaster shot, but is fairly resilient against weaker blasters and minor ballistics. The also has a natural rear defense in a semi-prehensile cape that is rolled up into the back of the droid when not in use. The cape is more resistant to standard weaponry, granting some protection from a flank attack. Further it has a natural affinity to shifting color to that of the material it comes in contact with, not the exact shade or appearance, merely a close color. This cape has a small computer assigned to it, which allows it to move the cape ever so slightly as the droid moves so as to avoid it being caught on the environment and slow the droid. In order to combat the greatest weakness of droids, that of ionic and similar weapons, the IP-SCUDs have a ‘skeleton’ of gold bars that act as a high conductivity path for the electricity to pass through. This protects the more sensitive components from being electrocuted.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]The droid has little defense against normal and stronger weapons, forcing it to rely on similar tactics as most organic soldiers. The complexities of its internal mechanisms lend themselves to a lack of easy repair. Beyond small armor cracks and minor broken equipment, the droid requires specialized parts that are almost impossible to carry onto the field of battle. As a side effect of the heavily droid based coordination, the robots are optimized for computer based communication, creating a natural difficulty when communicating with organics, decreasing coordinative abilities. The cape only offers protection from a couple shots before losing both is resistance and camouflaging capability. When power falls below the half way point, the droid will automatically rewind the cloak into itself to conserve energy, at a quarter power it will disable it in-built blaster.[/SIZE]
