Swordfighter Training Droid


This rather elderly model of droid was once a staple product among the wealthy of the galactic core. Designed to instruct and spar with young aristocrats with whatever weapon was deemed appropriate, the droid did only too well, displacing the weapons masters that had filled that role before. However, the droids soon fell out of favor, as the were judged to be nowhere near as "interesting" as the large and powerful or the lithe and agile masters that had preceded them. Within around 30 years the Swordfighter line was discontinued, and those droids that have survived have lead lives as infantry units or engaged at tasks far from their original specifications.

In form, the Swordfighter droid has a small, triangular torso topped with a half-sphere head. It has a pair of long, 5 jointed arms, and a similar pair of legs. When at rest, the legs and arms fold up in front of, and behind the droid, making a compact package of what is usually a lanky giant. As it's difficulty level is turned up, more and more of the joints are activated, allowing it remarkably fluid motion at it's highest skill setting. The length of it's legs also allows it to move it's torso in and out of striking range without any motion of it's feet whatsoever. At the center of the droid's torso is it's activation/deactivation switch, a large red button. That is the target that it's students attempt to hit when sparring with it (-1D from melee combat roll to hit a specific target) The eight levels of skill that the droid can fight at are toggled by voice command, and can be increased or decreased in the course of the combat. The droid also has a hardwired mortality failsafe that must be disabled for it to be able to strike a killing blow.
