Riddle of Steel
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
- Intent: Creating a unique droid for a contest.
- Image Source: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/oO1eN4
- Canon Link: N/A
- Permissions: N/A
- Primary Source: Astromech droid
- Manufacturer: Jyoti Nooran (self)
- Affiliation: Self
- Model: N/A, he is simply Puck.
- Production: Unique
- Modularity: Yes, programming can be modified and tool bay disks can be swapped.
- Material: Plasteel, Kyber Crystals, Droid Components
- Classification: Second Degree
- Weight: Light
- Height: Small
- Movement: Repulsors, Ion Microthrustors
- Armaments: Hold-out Blaster, Glop Aerosol Jet Spray
- Misc. Equipment:
-Arc Welder
-Advanced Flight Control System: Thanks to its powerful memristor based neural network, Puck can interface with the host vehicle's onboard computer to improve their flight control systems in real-time, resulting in a moderate increase in capabilities (+1 manueverability).
-Diagonstic/Recording Suite
-Encryption Module
-Holographic Projector
-Ion/EMP hardening (Ion Deionizer, Energy Sink Redudant Wiring)
-Kyber Enhanced Sensors: When meshed with its host vehicles sensor/targeting suite, Force imbued components allow easier detection of stealthed objects and protection against jamming and spoofing/false signals. This is a handy alternative to the use of active sensors for similar tasks, which reveal a ship's position when used. However, the downside is easier detection via Force methods when the Kyber Crystals resonate in their active state.
-Liquid Cable Launcher
-Memristor Processing Core
-Mithril Security Software
-Subspace Transeiver
-Retractable Arms x 4, chest mounted in tool bay disks
- Can carry out standard astromech functions like spot repairs, diagnostics, navigation, etc.
- Capable of basic slicing.
- Enhances sensor and flight capabilities of host vehicle.
- Provides some passive buffs to maneuverability and sensor/targeting. (Starships 50 meters and under.)
- When dismounted, Puck can travel easily across almost any terrain.
- Lightly armed for self defense.
- Can only speak through binary or via a computer system
- When the Kyber Crystals are active, they can be easily detected through Force methods.
- While a lightweight plasteel chassis is durable enough for normal astromech duties, it is lousy for combat, making the droid quite fragile against direct attack.
- It has some hardening, but this is mostly to address energy surges and bad feedback while interfacing with machines. Like all droids it's still vulnerable to ion/emp attacks which can result in temporary disruption, or shut down to protect delicate internal components.
Puck was the end result of continued experimentation by Jyoti blending Force imbued components with technology, much similarly to lightsaber construction. As result of this and the addition of a memristor powered neural network, he has some unusual features that puts him a cut above standard astromech units, able to enhance the capabilities of the host vehicle in addition to standard astromech functions like maintenance.
Taking a cue from probe droids, she made the droid more mobile by equipping it with repulsors and microthrusters (for space maneuvers) as its primary form of locomotion. As result Puck can cover virtually any terrain with little trouble, and reach areas normally inaccessible to grounded astromechs.
