I will also add that there are other AI's aboard the ship.

A much reworked and improved R5 droid, R5-2D, aka Toodee which Yargin inherited with the ship. Yargins first foray into droid mechanics and software. He had some help but he is proud to say he rebuilt Toodee from the ball bearings up. He gave Toodee a much more pleasing female, can do, personality. In Yargins own words:

" Toodee wasnt a bad droid, she just hadnt been built right. The whole R5 line had that problem. You just gotta know what the bad bits are what, the bits worth fixing up and the bits worth tossing in the garbage. She has now has good bits off R2's, R4's...whats important, she works, and that lil droid has saved my backside more times than I can count. Wise investment"

Toodee and Rex help maintain and update each other, hardware and software wise, within reason.

"Mothership" is the Black Freighter's onboard AI. whilst Rex and Toodee help maintain the ship, Mother effectivly IS the ship, or at least her AI interface. She will report any flaws or signs of faults developing to Rex or Toodee.

Theres also two WED treadwells, but they are rarley seen.

Finally, theres a 2-1B medical droid. Because of Yargins profession, he has a medical suite in his ship.2-1B rarley ventures out of his surgery, but occasionaly he and Rex will interact. Rex sometimes, on getting an upgrade will request having 2-1B's steady manipulators peform a the modification.2-1b reminds Rex he is a surgical drpid, not a repairbot, but usually ends up doing it anyway.

A secondary brain could in fact be an advanced form of one of these:

Specialized Subprocessor
Type: Multitasking secondary processor
Scale: Character
Skill: Varies
Cost: 1,000
Availability: 2
Game Notes: A specialized subprocessor enables a droid to carry out a specific calculation or analysis more quickly or simultaneously with other tasks. It grants the droid a single extra action each round that can only be used to perform an action related to a single skill, chosen at the time the subprocessor is created. This extra action does not count when calculation Multiple Action Penalties. A droid can only have one specialized subprocessor.
Source: Scavenger’s Guide to Droids (pages 53-54)

Perhaps combined with this:

Hidden Core
Type: Core function backup system
Cost: 200
Availability: 2, R
Game Notes: A hidden core allows a droid to retain all of its programming, skill improvements, and personality after a memory wipe. 1D days after the memory wipe, the droid can try to make a
Difficult droid programming/repair roll in order to restore its backup. If the roll fails, the droid may attempt it again every 1D days. In order to discover a hidden core, a character must be actively searching for something suspicious in the droid and succeed in a droid programming repair roll against the droid’s willpower, or against a Heroic difficulty if the droid has spent an extra 200 credits for the deluxe installation. Source: Scavenger’s Guide to Droids (page 53)


Is that scavengers guide a d20 sourcebook? I don't remember seeing it for WEG.

Yargin Makol has been active for around twenty years, so its safe to assume his droids been around for maybe ten or dozen. He was built by one of Yargins tech guys to be a versatile droid. Yargin already had the upgraded R5, what he needed was a copilot, gunner, engineer,armourer, plus someone who might make him a plate of soup, when Yargin was brooding and neglecting himself. And Yargin can brood ...


Which means what/ Starting PC?
So what number of his initial starting 25D "droid PC build" will be allocated to this special processor/secondary droid mind?
