[ROUGHLY BASED FROM] B1 Battledroid
CIS
GENERAL INFORMATION
• Unit Name: B4 Combat Droid
• Rank: CIS Droid Infantry Corps
• Affiliation: Faction - CIS
Head of State - Chrom
• Classification: Infantry
• Equipment:
- E-5 Blaster Rifle
- Thermal Detonator
- Plastoid Amour Plating
• Domain: All CIS territories
• Description: Appearance resembles that of B1 Battle Droid, thicker armoring to reinforce the droid further.
Differing Divisions have certain color schemes:
- Base Infantry: Grey with Orange highlights
- Tank Operators: Navy with Yellow highlights
COMBAT INFORMATION: The unit is not hard to create, supplied by Baktoid Combat Automata.
Therefore there is also an abundance of them, making them the largest force within the Droid Army.
• Unit Size: Large
- Total: 750 Million B4 Droids
• Unit Availability: Common
• Unit Experience: Trained
• Combat Function: The droids are programmed to a set goal, they will focus on that goal without fail and follow all orders given.
Droids are also disposable, meaning losing droids within combat scenarios is not as impactful to the army.
They are usually used within ground battles and invasions, sheer numbers to overwhelm
Strengths:
- Droids are disposable and easy to create, this means losing droids will not inherently effect the Droid army numbers due to their mass.
- The droids will follow their programmed goal to death, there is practically no chance of rebellion or thoughts against the programmers due to the droids just being metal controlled to carry the actions of the CIS out.
- B4 Droids do not feel emotion, therefore they cannot build relationships with other droids or living beings, tainting their goal.
- The droids targeting system is a great asset, meaning they hit a majority of their shots due to the advanced programming of Baktoid.
Weaknesses:
- Droids will mindlessly follow orders, this could be negative if ordered by the incorrect person for a particular task.
- The droids themselves are fairly weak, this is why their numbers are larger to account for the B4 droids weakness in hand to hand combat.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The B4 droids were developed from the original design of the B1 droids by Blaktoid Combat Automata. The CIS originally used the B1 droids, but their design became flawed and unusable. Therefore Blaktoid decided to bulk up the design of the droids, creating the B4 droid which was waiting to be dispatched to whoever may pay to obtain and reform the droid army. The people wanting to buy being the revived CIS who once used these droids in the Clone Wars so long ago.
