Description: After the recent creation of a more militaristic security droid, the G1E-Enforcer, it was decided by Lierra to open a new series of products within the company focused solely on bipedal humanoid-like droids, ranging anywhere from those specializing in different areas of combat to those more suited for serving and offering pleasure to others. As the first official model of the series, the K1S-"Kayra" was created to be a fully functional serving droid for the more wealthier citizens of the galaxy, to fulfill the lesser duties that most important business owners or those in a high position of power cannot be bothered to do in their spare time, in a most efficient and productive way. The Kayra is most proven to be successful in a large work place establishment such as a diner or cafe, where the droid can carry out the usual services of any waiter, such as taking multiple orders, carrying out advanced and pleasant conversations with customers, and bringing the meal from the kitchen to its desired target as fast as possible. Emeritus prides itself in giving the droid a high sense of class and style to its activities, causing each intricate movement to flow in a manner with such care and delicacy that one could only recognize them as the actions of the Kayra. Often this shall result in the desired customer being extremely satisfied and surprised about the service of the restaurant, hopefully managing to secure their return.
Although the primary usage of the droid focuses on working in large, active establishments, it can be equally as effective in less hectic situations with as little as one master, working in a smaller home environment. The Kayra can carry out its usual serving duties throughout the house, providing meals for each time of the day and other subsidies to please the owner, or also be put to work in other areas of duty around the place, such as gardening work, organizing important resources, or basic assignments of maintenance. Almost any odd job can be completed by the droid if given clear enough directions to follow. With all of the following work to be done and served, the feature of scheduled routines can be utilized in the Kayra, as the owner can assign specific routines for the droid to follow each morning until the end of the day, with zero questions asked. At any point in time the customer can quickly adjust the routine to fit their required needs, and the droid will adapt immediately to make the new schedule effective.
Although one would believe the Kayra would be an all-in-one supreme guardian, it comes with no combatitive abilities, nor the mindset to fight any given foe. The droid prioritizes its safety as much as any normal human would do, unfortunately leading to others being left behind if not careful or the ability to escape is impossible, as the Kayra will not protect the owner directly. If imminent danger is detected by the droid, it will indeed warn the master, but shall quickly flee the scene to a more safe location until notified otherwise to return. Should the master be killed in the action, the droid shall return to the establishment within a certain amount of hours, and stand idle and out of the way until someone is introduced as the new commanding owner. Only then will normal duties resume.
