SPECIAL FEATURES
Rakghoul Plague
Cloak
Strengths:
Agile - This unit's unconventional movement, combined with the raw speed of its servos, make it a difficult adversary to track and keep up with.
Rakghoul Plague - The claws of each unit have been steeped in samples of the Rakghoul plague. Successful contact with raw flesh can quickly and rapidly spread the plague among enemy units.
Independant thought - The Shadowghoul Droid is meant to work behind enemy lines which means It must be able to think for itself and work without help from CIS Command
Hide in the shadows - The Shadowghoul Droid is fitted with a personal cloaking device that enables it to hide in plain site to get the drop on its targets
Fear - This droid is built to break enemy moral and get them to rout
Weaknesses:
Rakghoul Plague - Due to the CIS not owning Muur Tailsman any Rakghouls created by this unit will attempt to destroy anyone or anything in its proximity, including the Shadowghoul droid.
Still A Droid - While novel, this unit is still a Droid and can be incapacitated by ion or electromagnetic assaults.
Weak Armour - Due to the space its cloaking field generator takes within the droid it could not have the same amount of armour as its sibling
Team Killer - If working with low ranking organics or around civilians this droid may decide the mission is better with them being turned into a rakghoul
Handler - When off duty or working in a team the Shadowghoul Droid requires a trained handler that is preferably droid to prevent it from attacking allied organics and turning them into rakghouls.
Claws Only - This unit can only fight in melee as it has no inbuilt range weaponry
DESCRIPTION:
When the first Rakghoul droids were created some CIS Scientist decided what would happen if they decided to give the droids cloaking devices and send them behind enemy lines to assassinate high ranking officials and break enemy moral and that is when the CIS commissioned the first batch of Shadowghoul Droids to see that dream come true. The Shadowghoul Droids were built to be smarter than their siblings and be able to complete missions with minimal help from command. One problem found with the Shadowghoul droids during their testing phase was that due to their more Independence the droids would sometimes attack allied organics or civilians to turn them into rakghouls for the benefit of the mission and due to this CIS Command allowed only 10 Shadowghoul droids to be created to help prevent any major accidents these droids could cause and as long as each droid had a trained handler when working in a civilian populated area or when working in teams. In combat these droids would stalk their assigned target and when the time was right would attack and normally take out 1 or 2 hostiles before retreating in the shadows and due to the hidden needles within their claws they would infect who ever they attacked with the rakghoul plague causing the people they took out to turn into rakghouls and kill their comrades
