DESCRIPTION
Designed by Arakyd Industries, the W-00F series of Scout Droid were created shortly after the fall of the Galactic Empire when the company was attempting to change it's brand to appeal to the new governments that formed in it's wake. Moving away from the menacing specter of the probe droids, Arakyd focused on making sure that their Scout could be seen as something less fearsome. Their research led them to canines, a type of creature that sentients across the Galaxy had a fondness for.Although the initial choice of shape for the scout droid was aesthetically motivated, the further along the design process it went the more it became apparent that a quadrupedal droid had it's perks. Able to be much larger than a typical probe droid without being 'top heavy' as some droid are, the W-00F series was equipped with an excellent array of sensors, receptors and detectors to appeal to the law enforcement market as a scout/rescue droid combination.
The droid brains integrated into the W-00F series are similar in class to those typically found in astromechs and prone to developing low levels of cunning if left too long between memory wipes. Further inspired by canines and wanting the droid to appear even more trust-worthy, all W-00F were initially programmed to feel loyalty to their current owners. How this programming has developed over the years, however, varies from droid to droid.
LEGALITY
Regulated - not restricted. Despite not being combat models themselves, the W-00F has enough weight behind it that it can charge into enemies currently attacking it at speed with great force. Combined with their variety of sensors, W-00F models are registered upon purchase in some systems but their purchase is not illegal by itself in any system.INTENT
Intent is to provide another style of droid companion that can work with with other droids or organics.RESTRICTIONS
None
