Description: Slightly harder to make than his single arm, when Ranik lost his legs, more or less he was desperate for adequate footwear, incapable of doing anything at all until he had mobility again. Forgetting cosmetics and going straight for efficiency, Ranik paid top credits to get his legs strong and fast. Of course, at the time, his Owner also chipped in. The legs are built to withstand shock from jumping or falling, but not an alternative to saving his life. Just like straight falling, it would not be pretty. But the dampening of shock ability was to keep his mind focused and ignoring physical stress from kicking or jumping if the situation had to resort to it. Spring loaded joints also allowed him to sprint slightly faster than he had before -- not to say he can run at extreme speeds. Ranik wasn't athletic in the running department, he wasn't a runner. And since he wasn't going to be able to exercise his legs anymore, he needed to make sure that he could run at a suitable speed. This allowed him to run at professional runner speed for unknown amounts of time, or until the mechanical joints overheated and he had to stop before suffering damage. He would never push them too far, as he needed his legs almost more than his arms in majority of cases. It was still susceptible to anything that affected droids.
