ISI/CDP: "Configurable Droid Package." A suite of modular tools and scanners that could be easily swapped out to fulfill a number of specialized roles. Supplicants came in six distinct variants: Astromech, Hygiene, Maintenance, Medical, Servant, and Surveillance.
ISI/CILP: "Cold Iron Learning Package." An adaptive programming package produced by Iron Sun Intelligence. Each variant of the Supplicant had its own specialized programming. As a whole, their software prioritized rapid learning, which made them very diligent - but also very colorful - servants.

[ + ] Learn On the Job: Dedicated learning subroutines allowed the Supplicant to quickly adapt to the nuances and protocols of any work environment.
[ + ] Jack of All Trades...: Supplicants could be outfitted and programmed for just about any menial or support task necessary.
[ - ] ...Master of None: The Supplicant was typically outperformed by more expensive specialist droids, despite the many advertisements which stated the contrary.

The Imperial Service Droid Mk. I, also known as the Supplicant-series, was a model of service droid released by Iron Sun Intelligence. Antipater, the company's founder, designed the droid with one principle in mind: adaptability.
Designing several bespoke droids was considered an inefficient move at best and a self-indulgent one at worst. The solution, therefore, was to design a single droid with a suite of tools that could easily be interchanged depending on need. This, coupled with Iron Sun Intelligence's already versatile Cold Iron software, ensured the Supplicant would be ready to tackle a broad range of civilian applications.
The Supplicant itself was a small, floating droid capable of moving quickly through any environment or specialized service vents. If necessary, it could use its three large actuator limbs to climb, crawl, and scamper. By default, it came with a binary vocabulator to limit outbursts and disincline it towards idle chit-chat with organic employees.
It also came with two electro-shock prods for self-defense or for eliminating small vermin. Generally, these were insufficient to cause lethal harm to larger organic lifeforms. All Supplicants came with advanced environmental shielding and an ionization buffer to allow them to work tirelessly under most conditions.
The Supplicant had six distinct variants:
Astromech: Designed to accompany explorers, rangers, special forces, and other outriders, this variant included an even mix of tools from the other packages. Its suite of tools were specialized for starship maintenance and its programming allowed it to support or replace navigation computers. Very expensive.
Hygiene: Included a variety of high-tech cleaning and sanitation equipment, including miniaturized sonic grime dispersers, precision cleaning solution emitters, retractable vacuum probes, and more. Ideal for attaining the signature look of polished Imperial sterility and improving health outcomes. Cheap.
Maintenance: Included a variety of tools suitable for carrying out light, generalist repairs to equipment, machinery, and vehicles. Droids with this package were not cut out for heavy construction work or repairing catastrophic damage, but they could otherwise keep a facility running. Droids intended for industrial work also used this variant. Cheap.
Medical: Included finely-tuned medical equipment ideal for administering bacta, vaccinations, stabilizing limbs, applying stitches, diagnosing conditions, and other forms of rudimentary medical work. Droids with this package often served as assistants to dedicated medical personnel or first responders. Cheap.
Servant: Included only a few light cleaning tools implements and a good deal of storage space. Otherwise, it was suited primarily to acting as a personal assistant or courier more than anything else. Unlike other models, it possessed a vocabulator capable of speech and could communicate in a variety of languages... Though not as many as a protocol droid. Cheap.
Surveillance: This package turned the Supplicant into a powerful, miniaturized probe droid. It featured dedicated decryption and slicing software subroutines, powerful macro-binocular rangefinders, and high-fidelity audio-visual recording equipment. Its standard sensors were upgraded to be more effective at longer ranges. Very expensive.
As always, any misadventures or malfunctions which resulted from the presence of emergent "personalities" were not covered by Iron Sun Intelligence's warranty agreements. Customers were advised to memory-wipe their service droids with regularity.
