Description: With specialized droids for Medical, Military and Engineering purposes already being produced by Kalor-Tech, Killian felt there needed to be a more flexible droid on the market who could perform standard servicing and maintenance tasks without costing too much to manufacture. The solution was the M15C 'Misc' Droid. It's design and production had some errors at first, as he had opted to implemented rather advanced personality protocols in the prototypes as an experiment for future products. However, the droids turned out to be very eccentric and rather annoying, with some eventually escaping the facility. Having learned his lesson, Killian toned down their personalities but kept the high-pitched, unchanging voice tone out of laziness. The result was a droid capable of carrying out the majority of simple tasks for it's owner, aswell as maintaining offices and facilities swiftly and efficiently. Depending on their station the droids can have slightly different software packages, some focusing on human interaction (best for offices), while others focusing on maintenance tasks (best for facilities). In theory any kind of behaviour or protocol can be implemented into the droids, although Kalor-Tech sticks to basic uses. As for weaknesses, the standard droids are defenseless and cowardly. They can hide their arms and wheel inside their bodies, but several blaster shots will turn them to scrap either way. Their only chance would be to flee on their relatively fast wheel. Although Killian fixed the majority of problems with their personalities, they can still be overly eccentric and for the most part... well, stupid...
