DESCRIPTION

The BL series is a model of droid manufactured by Industrial Automaton. BLs are "agromech" droids, a sub-class of the more common astromech droid which is more geared toward ground and atmospheric vehicles rather than spacecraft. IA, wanting to come back to the business of landspeeder maintenance, built the BL with this market in mind, based on the smaller BB series. The BL was a modest hit for the company, although its size and weight when compared to other astromechs made some costumers hesitant to buy it at first.


BLs are sphere-shaped droids, with locomotion provided by a spherical body, which contains 6 swappable tool-bays, much like the original BB-series, all of which can be changed and upgraded to include more tools. BL units are equipped with a myriad of sensors and tools, considered more than adequate to handle any task they are assigned; BLs can communicate directly with and run diagnostics on myriad computer systems, as well as perform physical repairs and calibrations to drive systems and other machines. Due to their size and heavy-duty construction, they are also able to tow machinery and perform small construction jobs; they are also good at demolition by ramming into things.


Unlike other agromech droids manufactured by IA, BLs cannot serve as astromech droids due to their size, as they are unable to fit into a standard astromech socket. Due to this, they cannot serve as substitute navicomputers, although they make up for this by serving as a sort of "terrestrial navicomputer", providing safe routes to traverse the surface of a planet. They also contain an extensive database of terrestrial and atmospheric vehicle schematics.


BL-series droids cannot speak most organic languages, although they can understand them. They instead vocalize in droidspeak, generally through a deep "voice", or through text when connected to an external network or vehicle. BLs can develop distinct personalities, especially if not subjected to regular memory wipes, although the time it takes varies depending on how active the droid is and what experiences it goes through.


BLs are still manufactured by IA, although only when an order is issued, as the demand decreased gradually after its release. Despite not being the most popular droids, BLs have earned the reputation of being strong, sturdy friends that are more than willing to offer a reliable hand with any heavy tasks, and always wanting to make their owners proud, even by protecting their home.


LEGALITY

Legal. Agromech droids such as the BL units are permitted in most parts of the galaxy. Although some establishments do not allow them inside due to their size and considerable momentum when moving.


INTENT

To create an agromech droid with the premise of "BB unit but bigger and heavier, an unstoppable force".


RESTRICTIONS

BL-units cannot be used as astromechs for starships due to not fitting in the standard astromech socket. Although it could be possible to modify the starship to fit the droid, the BL droid is not made for starship repair or space navigation.

You're going to have to change this so that the formatting matches the template.

Formatting on mobile is a pain, I suggest a keyboard and mouse if you can manage it. Basically, though, there's a section under each template where the template - including all the bbcode that makes the formatting work - is visible in plain text. Copy that, and past all the info into the places it says to. If you post it in a thread it should work.

It looks much better! Your image link doesn't seem to be working, though.
