[ROUGHLY BASED ON] B3 Ultra Battledroid
CIS
GENERAL INFORMATION
• Unit Name: B3 Ultra Battledroid
• Rank: CIS Droid Infantry Corps
• Affiliation: Head of State - Chrom Faction - Confederacy of Independent Systems
• Classification: Infantry
• Equipment:
- 2 Retractable rapid fire blaster cannon
- Retractable wrist rocket launcher
- Plasma Canon, wide-spray
- Tight-spray flamethrower
- Duraplast outer armour
• Domain: All CIS territories
• Description: Appearance resembles that of the B3 Ultra Battledroid used by the CIS in the Clonewars. However, they have been enhanced with multiple added sensors, something the B3 Ultra Battledroid lacked. Also, the unit has been enhanced in size and strength via use of more [and stronger] material.
COMBAT INFORMATION: The unit is not difficult to make, supplied by Baktoid Combat Automata
. There is also an abundance of them, making them a strong force within the Droid Army.
However, to create and be supplied to the CIS, they do cost a fair amount of credits.
• Unit Size: Medium
- Total: 250 Million B3 Ultra Droids
• Unit Availability: Common
• Unit Experience: Trained/ Veteran
• Combat Function: The B3 droids are a support unit to the B4 Combatdroids, due to their stronger nature and better equipment. Alongside this, they will spearhead attacks which contain both B3 and B4 droids. Again because of their stronger equipment, resilience to blaster fire and also better melee skills.
Strengths:
- These droids are incredibly strong, more resilient to blaster fire than their B4 Combatdroid counterparts.
- They are also disposable, due to the high influx of B3 Ultra Battledroids from Blaktoid Combat Automata company.
- The droids will carry out their task to the death. As they follow whatever they are programmed to do, therefore they are increasingly successful as will not hesitate when facing death.
- The droids are well equipped, with multiple different weapons at their disposable which they are each perfectly programmed to the best of Blaktoids ability to use.
Weaknesses:
- Droids have no remorse of emotion, this could result in bad circumstances and possible war crimes if they are not programmed down perfectly for a mission. Hence could follow orders from a usurper and destroy the CIS, meaning they will need to be increasingly secure.
- The B3 Ultra Battledroid is not the most agile droid, majorly more clunky than the B4 droid, inhibiting them in a few ways.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The B3 Ultra Battledroid was once used under the Confederacy of Independent Systems, under Count Dooku and General Grevious within the Clonewars. After this, the model went into hibernation, not used for many years until the hidden resurrection of the CIS under Chrom. It was from here were the design was developed to fit modern times and keep up with the current technology. Then on Blaktoid provided the CIS with the B3 Ultra Battledroid which was improved to bolster their ranks within the Separatist droid army being rebuilt with the B4 droids and many more to follow.
