Advanced Droideka

The Advanced Droideka is a droid created for the Trade Federation by the Colicoid Creation Nest.

Information
The Advanced Droideka was a limited production run prototype produced during the Clone Wars, and was designed to replace the standard Droideka. However, a high cost and the eventual defeat of the Trade Federation by the Republic led to the line never being produced in large numbers. The Advanced Droideka had extremely efficient logic systems as well as more powerful shield generators and quad repeating blasters, all of led to the droid being hugely effective in combat. The tactical judgement of the Advanced Droideka matched its superb targeting skills, and it was the first Destroyer Droid that would seek and use cover instead of relying on its shields. It could also set up effective ambushes, which made the droid even more effective than its design would suggest. These droids are highly sought after, and fetch massive prices when they rarely reach the black market. Buyers should also be aware that ownership of these droids is highly illegal due to restrictions on heavy weapons and combat droids on most civilized worlds.
