GENERAL INFORMATION
• Unit Name: BX2 Super Commando Droids
• Rank: CIS Droid Infantry Corps
• Affiliation: Head of State - Chrom
Faction - Confederacy of Independent Systems
• Classification: Infantry
• Equipment:
- Vibrosword
- Droid Commando Personal Shield
- Electrostaff
- Tight-spray Flamethrower
- Retractable wrist blaster cannon
- Wrist rocket launcher
- Wide-sprau plasma cannon
- Cortosis Armour Plating
- Duraplast Inner Armour Structure
• Domain: All CIS territories
• Description: They relatively look like the B3 droids, except they are much larger in stature and size to account for all the equipment that these droids posses on them. They also have white sensors, unlike B3 droids but more versed in the BX series commando droid. The droids due to their height take more sensors as well however, going across nearly all it's body to eliminate weak points. This droid is very thick also, ensuring that cortosis wont be broken through easily and if it could the duraplast was thick enough to repel the enemy for long enough to eliminate the enemy.
COMBAT INFORMATION: The unit itself operates in a small amount, despite their overall size.
They operate in this small group due to their sheer skill and strength within the battlefield.
They are easy to create for Blaktoid, why there are so many but they cost a fair amount due to all features.
• Unit Size: Small
- Total: 100 Million
• Unit Availability: Common
• Unit Experience: Elite
• Combat Function: The BX2 Commando droids function as a spearhead, with the B3 droids for attacks. They are
great for close range and melee because of their flame throwers, vibrosword and electrostaff.
Yet they aren't written off on the front lines, having blaster resistant armour and also personal shields
which they can deploy to protect their armour further if damaged when firing their wrist blaster.
Strengths:
- BX droids are very strong, resilient to blaster fire and lightsaber blades due to cortosis armour plating.
- Due to the high creation rate from Blaktoid Combat Automata company, they are disposable but unlikely to die.
- They are incredibly well equipped with many tools, especially their droid commando personal shield which can deflect many shots.
- The droids follow their orders with undying fidelity, carrying their goals out no matter what it costs or what enemies they face due to their special
- Their structural integrity is incredibly strong, using two plates of armouring to allow them added support.
- The targeting system in use is very accurate from Blaktoid programming and hence allows them to be fairly good shots.
Weaknesses:
- The droids programming is incredibly strong, they will follow commands from leaders or commanders so this could pose a problem if their command was usurped in any way and could cause the droid army to collapse on its self.
- The droid themselves weren't cheap, and actually took alot to create a droid as complex as that.
- Due to their stature, the droids require more sensors around the body to improve its sight of the battlefield, increasing costs.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The BX Series Commando Droid was used by the CIS in the Clonewars, however when they fell the design went underground and not used for many years. This was until the Separatists were revitalised within the galaxy and Blaktoid Combat Automata were used to produce more droids for the Confederacy of Independent Systems' droid army. Then they had the idea to develop the BX Series Commando Droid into a mix of the B3 Ultra Battledroid in an ultimate design for a ground combat unit which would be effective. When proposed to take the design, Chrom accepted their idea to bolster the ranks of the droid army and create a super unit which would hence be named the BX2 Super Commando Droid.
