3WD-5 heavy defender droid

Developed in 22 ABY, the 3WD-5 heavy defender droid soon became one of the Eniam Army's primary war droids and weapons platforms.

They were towering, massive behemoths, 6.31 meters tall and 5.29 meters wide with legs spread in standing position. Their bodies were pentagonal, and were half a meter tall and about 3 meters long and wide. The rear tip had one tail cannon, and the flat front surface bore their sensors and two blaster cannons, as well as a central launcher tube for a nose. The launcher tube could be equipped with missiles or grenades of varying kinds, most often concussion missiles and gas grenades. These weapons could not rotate but could pitch up and down.

Their top and bottom surfaces had two blaster turrets that could also rotate. Slung between the bottom turrets was a shield generator. Like its smaller counterparts, a 5 could make its shield wrap around its whole body, or make a larger sheet over one side. However, the shield generator could not rotate, and could only switch power between two sides - front and back.

Making them more indimatating yet more efficient both to order and to fight, 3WD-5s were equipped with vocoders. Like most post-Empire DET droids, they could speak Driyoin, Eniaman, Kegei, and Basic. Also like other Eniam war droids, they often developed a personality from interaction with organics.
