Intent: A strong droid to form the backbone of the TE's military.
Development Thread: N/A
Manufacturer: The Techno Empire
Model: Z-5 Alpha
Affiliation: The Techno Empire
Modularity: No.
Production: Mass-Produced
Material: Durasteel, droid brain, circuitry.
Classification: Fourth Degree
Weight: 150kg
Height: 2.5m
Movement: Bipedal
Armaments: Large repeating blaster, Combat knife x2, Slugthrower.
Misc. Equipment: Occasionally fitted with tracking equipment.
Strengths:
  • Superior Strength - The Z-5 droid is extremely strong, and can thus lift very heavy objects. This also makes them formidable in close combat.
  • Adaptable - They are intelligent, and can react quickly to any situation, and figure out the correct response.
  • Speedy - While they look slow, they are actually able to cover large distances rather quickly, though c=they can be slow to get started.
Weaknesses:
  • Low Agility - The Z-5 is not very agile, and can be outmanoeuvred easily by quicker opponents, as they turn slowly, and take a while to attack.
  • Low Weaponry - While their blasters are fast-firing, they are not very powerful, and are of limited use against armoured opponents.
  • High Power Cost - The Z-5 has a high power cost, and needs to have it's batteries recharged regularly, or it will cease to function.
Description: The Z-5 Alpha Droid is a brand new droid, created to provide the TE with a reliable fighting force. They are strong and durable, and provide the main army for the TE. They can be transported by a specialised droid carrier, and deployed at any battlefield with ease. They can be used in any number of situations, and thus employ many different roles, be it guard, shock trooper, meatshields, ect. This adaptability has made them into the TE's number one droid, and they have been successful at this mission. They are armed with a large blaster as their main weapon, and carry combat knives as a backup. All Z-5 Alpha droids also have a hidden-feature - a small concealed slug thrower in their forehead (see pic). Though it has very limited ammo, this allows them to have an alternative when blaster fire is ineffective. The main drawback for the TE was the price, as they were expensive to make, and they drained a lot of the TE's funding during the production. Nevertheless, they are proving themselves worth the price already, as they have helped the TE to consolidate it's hold over geonosis.

Looks pretty good.

This appears to be missing the manufacturer.

Expensive - The droids are costly to produce, and hard to replace. Though there is a lot of them, every one counts, as they will be tricky to replace.
I'd probably remove this, given that this is mass-produced.

Can you tell me a bit about this slugthrower? Does it have certain properties or a real-life equivalent?
