Abyss Sith Droideka

Like its predecessor, the Mark III was vulnerable when it was moving; however, when deployed, it was essentially a turret/Artillery. 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 blaster cannons, ion cannons, and Concussion Missiles which allowed them to combat infantry or vehicles. Like the original droideka, they utilized a shield to protect themselves from harm when they were deployed.

History
The Zann Consortium discovered that there was a droid factory on Hypori that Jabba the Hutt had taken interest in. Zann and others built up an invasion force and landed near the factory. Zann and others didn't travel far before droideka Mk IIs were found and started firing upon them. Urai managed to make it to the console and switch the droid production machines to manual, shutting off the droids.

The Hutt Cartel then sent Bossk and several soldiers down to confront them, which started the Battle of Hypori between Consortium and Cartel forces. Urai managed to reprogram the factories to produce droids for the Consortium, and the droideka Mk II then became a tool for the Consortium to use to help fight the Cartel back on Hypori and spread their corruption on other planets.

Later Koran took 2 Droideka Mk. II of them and made them Modified to give the name of Droideka Mk. III. These were painted Black and Red Stripes.


 * Koran used them as Guards escorting him on land battles.


 * The Name "Abyss" was given because of the fear they struck into enemies hearts and the color they were painted.
