Description: Imperious is a Class Four Assassin Droid, with his primary purpose being to hunt down and exterminate any Jedi and other Force users who would not submit to the will of the Sith. However, the Sith realized that Imperious would not always be out in the galaxy on his solo missions, and gave him a secondary function to be a tactical advisor to Imperial generals in times of war. His primary form of communication is Galactic Basic, but he is also fluent in Huttese and Binary.

Since Imperious was designed, created, and trained by the Sith, his personality was programmed after their core beliefs; hate, anger, and fear. As a result, he is cold, calculating and shows no mercy in his actions. After decades of hunting down many beings, Force users and Non-Force users alike, Imperious' personality has evolved to better mimic the inhabitants of the galaxy as time goes on, capable of almost being considered sentient himself. Though he obviously can't feel real emotions, Imperious has gained enough knowledge to have a vague sense of what it feels like to be actually alive. Throughout the decades, he has studied different emotional responses to different events, and has practiced how and when to use these emotions in the right situation in order to fool those around him into believing he is an organic being.

Imperious' Sith programming is so thorough that he has remained loyal to his creators since day one, due to a heavily encrypted code deep within his databanks, only accessible by those who created him. Unfortunately for Imperious' enemies, his makers are long gone, meaning Imperious will be loyal to the Sith and stay true to his cause until the day he is destroyed.

Imperious main combat protocols prioritize melee combat, therefore most of his equipment consist of different blades, gauntlets, and sabers. He is able to learn new forms of combat quickly, that way he will be able to put them to good use. Due to his main combat protocols prioritizing melee combat above all else, Imperious does not carry many long range weapons on his person, and, therefore, is not accustomed to blaster combat. He can, of course, fire a weapon and hit a target, but his skills are best utilized up close and personal. Imperious' hand-to-hand combat abilities are exceptional. He knows a rather large amount of self-defense techniques, as well as offensive techniques designed to render his enemies unconscious or to kill them. When it comes to piloting star craft, he is a below average pilot, not used to being in space for long periods of time, due to him usually being assigned to surface missions. If the need arises though, he is space combat capable, but organics usually surpass him in that category.

When the Sith designed Imperious, they decided that while Synthskin may have been a less expensive and more common option, a holographic disguiser would benefit Imperious immensely. This would allow him to not only mimic Human or Near-Human species, but some droids and objects as well. The Mimetic Combat Processor, used on the now defunct PROXY Droid, and the CQ-3.99 holographic disguiser allow him to seamlessly blend in with organics, able to accurately mimic complex muscle tissue movement, such as sneezing or frowning. He can assume the looks and voices of those he impersonates, but he cannot mimic their personality properly, unless he has studied them extensively in person. The CQ-3.99 holographic disguiser has the same primary function as the Mimetic Combat Processor (MCP), but it is able to mimic other, much larger lifeforms, such as a rancor. Use of this device will deplete Imperious' power packs almost thirty times as fast as they normally would, as well as causing severe overheating.

In order to convince others that he is indeed an organic, the cooling fluid beneath his durasteel frame is a dark reddish-black to better resemble blood. One downside is that he can not change the color of his cooling fluid, meaning if a species blood was to be green, he would not be able to mimic that particular color.

Imperious' secondary function is to aid commanders of Imperial Forces in battle, therefore, he has advanced combat-analysis and advanced cognitive modules that process vast amounts of data rapidly, allowing him to make descisions much faster than an organic being. The droid can also intercept communication transmissions in order to learn the whereabouts of his next target, as long as they are not heavily encrypted.

Like all assassin droids, Imperious is stronger, faster, and more durable than the average human. Imperious is capable of reaching a maximum speed of 95 kph on flat terrain, and 75kph on rugged terrain and sustaining it for up to four hours, though it takes about 10 seconds for him to reach his maximum speed. He is able to lift up objects that are twice his weight, as long as he is able to fully concentrate on the task at hand. Otherwise, that amount is cut in half.

Imperious’ hands and feet can be magnetized to adhere to metal surfaces, allowing him to follow and ambush his targets almost anywhere. His wrist mounted grappling hook has many uses, mostly for grappling on to nearby or far away objects. But he can also house it as a melee weapon, swinging it in a whip like fashion, and using it to impale organic targets. As a droid, he is capable of surviving in a vacuum. Another weakness of the Pursuant Class Assassin Droid is his inability to enter large bodies of water or other liquids. He can withstand most contact with liquid, such as rain or a drink spilling onto him, but being completely submerged in water will render him useless. This has to Imperious developing a "fear" of large bodies of water.

Since he isn't an organic lifeform, Imperious runs on portable power packs. These power packs are able of providing power for exactly sixty days before having to be discarded. These are located in his upper back, and sealed in air tight so as to not allow anyone to take them out without his authorization. Perhaps Imperious' most major vulnerability is EMP weapons. His AI and memory bank are shielded to prevent a memory wipe from smaller, more portable EMP weapons, but a larger weapon, such as Ion Cannon on a cruiser could possibly destroy the assassin droid. He also has no way to prevent losing control of his ability to move around in case he his hit with an EMP blast.

Imperious may seem like an organic being to the naked eye, however, he is still a droid, and as such can not be detected by the Living Force. The Force can still, of course, affect him.

I don't mind if you take some inspiration from my submission, but you clearly copied and pasted Eden's write-up and changed the wording.

Yeh sorry. I was a little busy and I decided to do that until I could work some things out. I'll change it now since I have time. Sorry!

The way I see it, you have two options: Either you create a Replica droid write-up from scratch, or you grovel at Bee to use a newer/modified version of the Eden Replica droid model. There's a fine line between inspiration and plagiarism, and the former requires more than some copypasta and a little bit of editing.

My suggestion would be to basically start from scratch. You could use Bee's writeup as a baseline and modify the base attributes to suit your needs. Then make a proper write-up for the new tech yourself, and if you like you could compare and contrast it to Bee's work- explain why it was built, how and why it differs from its predecessor, what the advantages and disadvantages are, etc. That way, even though Bee has graciously done the conceptual hard work for you, you still have a unique and personal Replica droid creation to base your PC on.

I also would not suggest trying to do a tech write up when you're busy or don't have time to do it properly. It's quiet a bit of work, so it's probably better to wait until you have a chance to sit down and do it right.

Good luck!

I changed some things around. I got rid of the protocol droid functions and replaced them with tactical droid functions, as well as removing his ability to fly altogether. I removed some of his sensors, and his ability to speak so many languages and just narrowed it down to three. I added a major weakness of water, particularly large amounts of water of other harmful liquids. His now only excels at melee combat, and his power packs are now depletable and must be discarded of after one use. I know I kept some of the sensors and components but after some research it made since to keep them, otherwise he wouldn't be able to function properly. If there us anything else I need to change, please let me know. And again, sorry Bee!:oops:

Changed some things a bit more, such as removing the Synthskin entirely and focusing on holographic disguisers, elaborating on the grappling hook, the disguisers, and his power packs.
