STRENGTHS

• Heavily armed: The updated ZQ Infantry Support Unit sports a number of powerful weapon systems, including an NZ HLR-330, an NZ BCG-1.1 "Garuda" Coil Gun and a miniaturized NZ RTL1 Launcher
• High performance: Because it uses a repulsorlift unit as its primary method of locomotion, the ZQ Infantry Support Unit is both fast moving and agile
• Modular: Each ZQ Infantry Support Unit comes equipped with 4 modular hardpoints, giving the droid an excellent amount of versatility
• Durable: ZQ Infantry Support Units are designed to operate in nearly all kinds of environments and within the worst environmental conditions possible, as they are supremely durable and well made

WEAKNESSES

• Lightly armored: The ZQ Infantry Support Unit is lightly armored overall, to ensure that it is as lightweight and fast moving as possible
• Repulsorlift: The ZQ Infantry Support Unit's Repulsorlift Engine is a notable weakpoint in the droid's design, and should it become damaged than the the ZQ will come crashing down to ground, unable to move
• Maintenance heavy: Much like its predecessor, the ZQ Infantry Support Unit is a complex piece of Imperial kit, making the droid rather maintenance heavy
• Obvious: When a ZQ Infantry Support Unit takes the field, everyone is bound to notice it, negating any attempts at being stealthy

DESCRIPTION

As the Mahporeem Imperial Remnant continues to expand its operations across the galaxy, its stockpile of original ZQ Infantry Support Units has dwindled down to nearly nothing, forcing the Imperial Remnant to restart production of the ancient droid design. Of course, the Imperial Remnant has taken steps to update the ZQ with modern day weapons, material, and technology, in an effort to make the droid even deadlier in combat.

The biggest department from the ZQ's original design is the inclusion of Ersteel 1333 and Ersteel SLCA in its construction, granting the droid excellent natural protection against most forms of attack. Of course, the droid remains lightly armored overall in order to ensure that it is as fast and lightweight as possible, and retains its predecessor's vulnerability to sonic, radiation and acid based damage.

The droid also retains its excellent speed and maneuverability, allowing the droid to quickly traverse over obstacles and across the battlefield in general, though its Repulsorlift Engine does remain a notable weakpoint on an otherwise sturdy and durable design. Like the predecessor, the ZQ Infantry Support Unit comes equipped with four additional Hardpoints for mounting weapons and equipment to, giving the droid an unprecedented amount of tactical flexibility for something of its size.

When used properly, the ZQ Infantry Support Unit is an excellent addition to any army's armed forces, and is especially well suited for accompanying special operation type units into battle, though the droid is also fully at home when supporting more "traditional" troop types or even other droids.
