DESCRIPTION

As Mahporeem has become increasingly industrialized and polluted, the native Merzoidian population has encountered immense difficulty in maintaining the delicate ecosystem of their planet. Farming on the planet, in particular, has become nearly impossible, and the few areas that can still be farmed often require intensive mechanical assistance, such as through the use of Merzoidian Agricultural Droids.

These Agricultural Droids are designed for a singular purpose: to disperse pesticide or liquid fertilizer over any area that they walk over. On most of Mahporeem, it is essentially impossible to grow anything without the use of these pesticides or liquid fertilizer, making the use of these droids on most Merzoidian farms an absolute necessity.

As they were designed specifically for farming, these Agricultural Droids are essentially useless in any sort of fight, as they are both slow moving and fragile. The Mahporeem Imperial Remnant has played around with the idea of turning these droids into mobile Rhydonium sprayers, but so far all attempts to do so have ended in failure for one reason or another.
