- Durable: For its price, the S1 is reasonably durable, being able to withstand several shots from more low-powered weapons. A high level of redundancy also allows an S1 to continue functioning despite the loss of limbs or even its head, which houses its Comms, not its droid brain. Importantly, the tridurium chassis makes the S1 much less vulnerable to Ionic weapons and EMPs than most comparable droids.
- Versatile: Thanks in no small part to its tridurium chassis, the S1 is able to operate at near-peak performance nearly anywhere - from crowded streets to the vacuum of space, from the dunes of Tatooine to the depths of Erakhis' oceans.
- Modular: Owing to their simple design, S1s are a useful platform for future models, though post-production modifications are more expensive.
- Compact: Like the B1 before it, the S1 can be folded for storage, which is especially useful when paired with specialised racks.
- Expendable: The S1 is cheap, wields cheap weapons, and can be produced in vast numbers from a sufficiently advanced factory.
- Simple: While somewhat more intelligent than the B1 and capable of simple tactics such as jogging and taking cover, S1s are nonetheless unimaginative adversaries unlikely to overwhelm anything but fresh-faced conscripts without the advantage of numbers.
- Specialised: Quite unlike the CIS' B1s, TriTech's S1s are security droids, period. In exchange for superior combat performance, they lost the versatility of their generalist counterparts, being unable to, say, serve as starship crews or pilots without the inclusion of additional processors.
- Advanced Weapons: The S1 line's cheap chassis are completely useless against more advanced weapons, such as lightsabers and disruptors.
- Sonic Weapons: While their chassis is likely to stay in one piece, sonic weapons are liable to scramble their cheap internal components.
The first military droid produced by TriTech, the S1 was originally intended for use as the face of Erakhis' Quarantine Enforcement Fleet, capable of both warning would-be trespassers/refugees/traders of the quarantine and eliminating them, should they fail to comply.
With the end of the Four Hundred Year Darkness and the subsequent lifting of Erakhis' centuries-long State of Emergency, the S1 was reenvisioned as a security droid, a series of software updates bestowing upon them a modicum of social skill. Later, many of these droids were commissioned as police droids - the expense of adding additional processors to better interact with the public being more than cancelled out by the sheer cheapness of shock batons and the occasional stun rifle.
Now seeking to involve itself in galactic commerce, TriTech has placed the S1 at the centre of its military and security catalogues, seeking to make full use of their cheapness and modularity to serve a wide range of purposes, even if individual models would never be able to match the generalism of, say, the B1.
