SPECIAL FEATURES
Utilizing Armorer designed for starships and advanced insulates circuitry they prevent the effects of EMPs and Ion-blasts from interfering in it’s electronics, the STS-1 Medical Droid is prepares for some of the various anti-droid weapons employed on the battlefield meant to stop mechanical support. What it lacks in firepower, size, and ability to deal damage, it makes up for in mobility and medical assistance, often employed in large swarms to provide support for entire legions of Sith troopers.
STRENGTHS
- Swarm-Support: A swarm of STS-1 Medical Droids is able to quickly output large clouds of Bacta mist or smoke screens, rejuvenating and healing weary Sith soldiers to continue fighting, while enabling a far more defensive place to stand their ground against threats.
- Small and Swift: With the minute size and weight of the STS-1 Medical Droids, alongside the advanced AI that interconnects each droid in a swarm, combatants will quickly find that trying to hit a single STS-1 Medical Droid is quite a challenge. Even a trained eye will have issue nailing down a single droid, and if a swarm loses a large number of its bulk, they will re-adapt their strategy to account for the losses.
- Exotic Defenses: A large issue with Droids is how weak most of them are to EMP and Ion weapons, and with the common use of blasters in the battle, many medical droids are unfit for use in active wargrounds. Advanced solutions presented itself through starship armor and isolated electronics, and while the STS-1 Medical Droid is far from invulnerable, it can survive a few shots from a light-caliber.
- Low Reserves: The STS-1 Medical Droid is very small, and while they’re able to spread healing quickly, they do not have a very large supply of Bacta in their tanks. When a swarm has run out of Bacta, it will quickly be forced to return back to a homebase in order to refuel, which can take time that is valuable in a fight.
- Diminutive: Despite their high resistances to certain weaponry, the TS-1 Medical Droid is still small, and requires light plating in order to be fast. The STS-1 Medical Droids aren’t built for durability, and as such a single model isn’t expected to survive a single notable strike, blast, or explosion. Heavy weapons and explosives can quickly take out swarms without too much issue, even with the evasive protocols programmed into the droids.
- Vulnerable to Hacking: An STS-1 Medical Droid swarm is able to work so effectively because of the droids all working in tandem with one another to deliver defensive staying power it Sith troopers. While these droids are uplinked and connected to a private server, if one is able to get into their systems and disable the uplink, a STS-1 Medical Droid swarm will quickly devolve into chaos as each droid attempts to calculate what is the best plan of action, often with fatal results for the swarm.
