SPECIAL FEATURES
  • The Common Battle Droids come equipped with additional sealed systems allowing them to withstand far harsher weather and environments than others, whether it be the rain of Kamino or the heat and sand of Tatooine
  • Though slightly prepped against EMP and ION weaponry thanks to slightly better armor, the droid is technically still vulnerable to EMP/ION strikes, but is designed with a backup system that allows it to reboot automatically post damage. This however typically only works once.
  • Come pre-equipped with optional Tractor beam Projectors. This is actually for the purpose of allowing them to be used for manual labor rather than just combat, they permit the movement of heavy objects. However they also permit the droid to be an effective security measure as they can easily lift most species, though it wouldn’t last long if they got shot down.
  • Come pre-equipped with optional Jetpacks providing them a far higher range of motion and choice of bursts of speed when needed.
STRENGTHS
  • Moderately durable against most weaponry.
  • Capable of wielding a wide range of weaponry or equipment
  • Cheap for mass production/purchase
  • Built in jetpacks for greater motion range.
  • Tractor Beam Generators work well for manual work or security.
  • Can be deployed in far more environments than most droids
  • Aiming is about as good as a common soldier
  • Can be folded up for easy storage.
WEAKNESSES
  • Still vulnerable against EMP/ION weaponry. Reboot can take a few seconds.
  • Vulnerable to lightsabers.
  • Not very capable of autonomous work. Should be given wide range of instructions.
  • Not very creative.
  • If the jetpack can be damaged it can cause an explosion resulting in destruction of the droid and much nearby.
  • Jetpack does have limited fuel and would only put out 20-45 minutes of use depending on the intensity.
  • Tractor beams will begin to drawing from the droids battery pack when its own smaller packs runs out.
  • Though it’s aiming is as good as a common soldier, its speed of motion is not. Outside of its jetpack, most organic soldiers would quickly outpace and outmaneuver it.
DESCRIPTION
The Katitik Hive Common Battle Droids hold clear resemblance to the B1 Series Battle Droid. Their functional differences were updated, with three main focuses. The armor was given a sufficient upgrade to ensure actual use in modern security forces where ION weaponry is easily at hand, as well as to not be as easy to damage by most other weapons. Lightsaber specific protection was left out, as it was too hard to determine a cheap method of protection. Their armor was also set up to further ensure safety in a wider range of environments, permitting them to function properly on a far higher range of objectives than their original counterparts might have been able to. They were additionally equipped with a pair of tractor beam projectors equipable to the hands for manual labor or for security purposes. And a detachable jetpack for a greater range of motion and bursts of speed. They are useful for a range of purposes, but ultimately are still a cheap alternative for real soldiers. Meant to be used en masse rather than as a 1 to 1 replacement.
