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.
