OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
'Ordinator' Security Pylons are stationary, autonomous defence systems developed to defend colonies and military outposts. Their compound beam laser is reminiscent of a LAAT's 'orb weapons' - such beams may well be able to scythe light infantry in two or seriously damage vehicles, especially if firing in concert. Despite this, their stationary nature is a vulnerability; support is recommended for pitched battles, perhaps from Skyhornets.
Variants of the regular pylons can be found securing high-priority checkpoints in military bases, bank vaults, and aboard starships.

- Lightsabers: None
- Security Pylons are typically ~3-metre tall metallic cylinders forming the outer perimeter of a facility or colony - the 'tighter' the perimeter, the harder it is to breach the power fence. The same machinery can be integrated into a hallway instead - typically feature power gate projectors on the side and a retractable weapons system in the ceiling. Regardless of configuration, the 'head' or weapons projector is rotatable.
- Security Pylons can double as Firebee hives, deploying swarms of the tiny battle droids to repel or hunt down trespassers.
- Sentinel: Security Pylons restlessly surveil their surroundings for threats, responding to incursions within a fraction of a second.
- Enduring: Security Pylons are constructed from sturdy materials supported by an energy shield; a necessity due to their immobility.
- Stationary: Security Pylons are built into the ground/walls and must typically be dismantled to be moved, unlike more mobile defences.
