Strengths -
[+] The Buddy System - SC-01 and SC-02 can exchange sensor data and messages over long distances (the range is roughly planet-wide), as well as feed this information to the personal communication device of Darth Seraphic's choosing.
[+] Tough as Nails - Thanks to the Alchemical Enhancement of their Chassis, these droids are exceptionally hard to damage by way of conventional weaponry - namely, blasters and lightsabers do roughly kark all to these hardy little guys.
[+] Baby's First Malware - each unit comes equipped with a set of basic slicing software, and the skills to use it - you won't be getting into a GA base with these, but a local bank's security, for example, should be no problem.
Weaknesses -
[-] Slow and Steady - The motors which power the droids' locomotion have not been enhanced to deal with the excessive weight caused by the Alchemical Enhancements these little guys have undergone - their maximum speed is quite slow, compared to an unaugmented R5
[-] You don't own me! Oh...wait - At Seraphic's (odd) request, SC-01 and SC-02 have been outfitted with malicious and contrary personality matrices, resulting in much by way of snark and backtalk from the droids - a minor inconvenience, but an ever present one. Due to the link the two droids share, when one is damaged or in danger, the other tends to become highly distressed.
Description: Binary Buddies' first commission, the SC Series of Astromech Droids were commissioned by Darth Seraphic, also known as Romeo Sin, who wanted a pair of Astromechs which could be used for surveillance. After a bit of negotiation, much of which consisted of Mala explaining why, exactly, Astromechs are not the ideal stealth droids, the two came to an agreement. Mala and her employees would create a pair of droids which could gather and share a large amount of data over a long distance. As such, the SCS Series was born - a duo of droids with little to no stealth capability, no combat capabilities, and Droid-Brains full of sarcasm and slicing software.
