DESCRIPTION
The SD-6 Hulk infantry droid is a heavy combat droid which was manufactured by the Balmorran Arms corporation in the decades leading up to the Clone Wars. Massive, heavily armored and heavily armed, the SD-6 was used by various planetary defense services, corporate security forces and other organizations; notably, a large number were employed by the Republic Judiciary, which maintained a stock of them to serve as heavy assault units for attacking well-defended criminal strongholds.

The Hulk is a beast of a machine. 3.5 meters in height, it is armored with starship-grade duranium plating which can shrug off light and medium small arms fire, and has a pair of medium repeating blaster cannons and light ion cannons mounted on its shoulders. Built as a heavy "breakthrough droid" meant to batter down enemy defensive works and clear a path for lesser infantry units, it is rightly feared on the battlefield.

SD-6 Hulk infantry droids were initially removed from service during the early Clone Wars, with the Republic wishing to avoid any confusion that might result from operating droid units alongside their organic clone troopers. This decision was eventually reversed, and Hulks served with various frontal assault units of the Grand Army of the Republic, earning the grudging respect of the normally droid-averse clones. After the war's end, however, they were again decommissioned by the fledgling Galactic Empire; many wound up on the black market, however, where they continue to be a hot ticket item, being used by various paramilitary groups and criminal enterprises.

LEGALITY
Illegal. Heavy infantry droids such as the SD-6 Hulk are highly restricted under interstellar law, with personal ownership being banned. Many beings get around this restriction by reprogramming their B2s as personal attendants and bodyguards, or at least claiming to have done so.

INTENT
To add a droid from Legends canon to our site's fanon.

RESTRICTIONS
An SD-6 Hulk infantry droid is an exceptionally rare and expensive piece of equipment, with individual ownership being difficult in the present day, although not impossible. Characters based on the SD-6 may be created, but will be subject to increased scrutiny by members of staff.
