Description: The HFSD is a small, highly mobile Probe Droid-esque device used primarily as a fire support droid. While one could theoretically send the droid into battle on its own, it is not recommended. HFSDs have very limited intelligence and are fragile in comparison to other droids. These droids are best used in support of squads and when under the command of a competent leader.
This isn't to say that the HFSD is completely useless. Though seemingly wimpy, the reciprocating Di-Blaster cannons on either side of the HFSD pack a great punch for a droid of this size and fire very quickly. That, however, is the extent of its combative armaments. The HFSD was designed with a minimalist approach, leaving a lot of elbow room to add power to the weapons of the droid.
Since it was designed with the intent of providing little more than covering fire for full squads of soldiers and patrolling, the HFSD was not endowed with an advanced targetting system. Although best used in the role of fire support, the HFSD's short range scanner make it a decent enough scout and independent patrol droid.
