C-Factor 4 Multi-Purpose Droid


The problem with many droids is the amount of processor power required for actions that most humans can accomplish without any difficultly. A smooth walking gait, free and easy motion of the upper body, and the catching of light projectiles are all actions that take huge amounts of processor power. Gyrien Zorag, dictator of the Legal Empire on Mithros-B suggested a novel solution to that problem. By using a human cerebellum (the part of the brain that controls actions of that type) in the brain circuitry of the droid, you would have a droid with a top of the line reflex center that takes up a fraction of the space that a mechanical reflex center requires.

The C-4 Multi-purpose droid was the Legal Empire's first attempt at a droid of that type. However, some problems developed. First of all, the droids experienced some of the effects of an implanted human subconscious, suffering from hallucinations when not allowed some rest with the brain unit activated. Second of all, even the very sophisticated med droids of Legal were not able to transfer the cerebellum successfully every time. In fact, they only succeeded every third operation, losing two out of three slaves completely. These problems might have been solved were it not for the fact that the C-Factor project was prematurely shut down, when three transports, each containing almost a hundred thousand slaves were destroyed by the Accdept hegeonomy, and Legal's slave trading partner put Mithros-B off limits.

Of the first few runs of C-Factor droids, a few survive. More independently minded than other droids, they also don't move like droids, and can pass as humans if not investigated too closely. Those that have escaped the killing fields of Mithros can be found throughout the galaxy, trying to escape the fragmentary human memories that they got together with their cerebellums.
