Droideka Mark V

The Droideka Mark V is a droideka unit that is much bigger and stronger than past units.Also, it could unroll into a starfighter. Unlike past units this one can be used as a droid or a pilot could fit into the cockpit on the "belly" of the droid and control it manually. Unlike its predecessor, the Mark V was not vulnerable when it was moving because when moving, it was essentially a armored metal ball. This version of the droideka was different from previous types not only in appearance but also in capabilities, as they were capable of switching between its 17 blaster cannons and 5 ion cannons, which allowed them to combat infantry or vehicles.Also, the ability to unroll completely from land to sky is a new addition, along with the unique ability to hold a person in their "belly". Like the original droideka, they utilized a shield to protect themselves from harm when they were deployed.

They were highly effective against enemy artillery, as they could wait out of range and then race inside the guns' firing arc and tear the lightly armored vehicles apart. They could also use ion blasters to take down shields and could dominate infantry squads with their rapid-firing blasters.

history
when jedi Knight Coan Cyly found the old remains of thousands of Mark II's he could not let them go to waste.10 years later, the assembly had begun with updated ammo packs and reactor cores he tested the first unit in the battle of Thenor VIII, it was a great success! So, he made a factory to mass produce these for the jedi temple and the Galactic Alliance.
