DESCRIPTION
The Z1 Assistant Droid is the first droid in the Zenithar-series. It was designed to be possibly the least-intimidating droid present on the market. It’s spindly little appendages make it adept for actions that require precise movements, such as updating business ledgers and typing into terminals, in addition to some tasks one would allocate to basic servants, but not much else. Z1s are also notoriously fragile and incredibly weak. A nasty fall or a sufficiently strong slap can easily damage the Z1's delicate internal circuitry and prompt a need for repairs. Fortunately, the introduction of Neuro-Saav's "Everlast" nanobot coating over the internal circuitry and parts greatly reduces the need for maintenance in the droid, something unprecedented in other models.
The advanced technology available in the J2 brain allows the Z1 to excel in a multitude of tasks, surpassing the famed E-3PO line of droids. The Z1 is capable of storing enormous amounts of information at a time, making it especially handy in its duties. A TranLang III Communications module enables it not only access to over six million forms of communication, but also quickly analyze and understand unregistered languages. To help it with administrative or general computer work, the Z1 comes with an advanced computer probe, allowing it to interface easily with most types of computer systems. The Z1 is not a slicer droid, mind you, and so will not under any circumstances be able to surmount even the most basic of password protected computers. Unless it actually knows the password, obviously.
For added benefit, the Z1 also comes with an olfactory sensor to allow it to detect smells in the event that is the primary means of expression for a species. It also comes with an advanced auditory sensor that will allow it to clearly understand even the most softspoken of individuals and pierce through the thickest of accents. For sheer convenience purposes, the Z1 also comes equipped with a holoprojector and recorder, enabling it to playback and record up to seven and a half-hours of footage. The droid's internal components also come coated with Neuro-Saav's "Everlast" coat, which is comprised of innumerable repair nanobots that greatly reduce the need for maintenance on the droid. This does not eliminate the need for maintenance entirely, obviously, but is a great advantage over other models.
The Z1 is typically best utilized as an accountant, administrator, secretary, or assistant. Due to the advanced nature of its droid brain and the intelligence required to remain effective in its use, the Z1 is known to develop personality traits and quirks very frequently. Though not disobedient or aggressive, the Z1 has been described as taking on a haughty, prim-and-proper personality reflective of what it often perceives as its “status” over other droids. This can be solved at the discretion of the owner via frequent memory-wiping. Customers who hold little tolerance for arrogance or are arrogant themselves should engage in memory wipes as frequently as possible. If a customer insists on infrequent memory wipes, treating the Z1 courteously and watching for suspicious behavior is highly recommended.
Hegemonic Automaton is not responsible for the actions of Z1s that achieve sapience.
