STRENGTHS

• Powerful: With a variety of guns, defensive measures, enormous size and the ability to function independently from its pilot, the ‘Howler’ Basilisk is a very useful tool on the battlefield, in the air, or in space
• Flight: With an enclosed cockpit and sealed fighting compartment, the Howler is capable of ‘collapsing’ into a starfighter capable of sublight and hyperspace flight
• Brain: With its own semi-sentient A.I, it can function independently like an animal and follow its handler’s orders to the letter.
• Drill: The Howler is capable of diverting all of its power to its rotary particle cannon turret and/or heavy laser cannons, turning it into a drill capable of melting through capital ship armour.

WEAKNESSES

• Multi-Role: While fulfilling a variety of roles, it doesn’t focus on one. Which can lead it to being outclassed by a large number of different vehicles.
• Volatile: The reactor and materials used in the many powerful and expensive systems on it are susceptible to damage. Too much loss of structural integrity can cause it to go up in a very disconcerting explosion.
• Vulnerable: When using its cannons for drilling, it loses all other systems except systems crucial for the pilot and machine's survival. Flight, other weapons, and other systems are all disabled to produce enough power to sustain the constant drill beam.

DESCRIPTION
A very expensive design, the ‘Howler’ model of Basilisk War Droid is designed to be a powerful asset on the ground or in the air, as well as a glorified best friend for its pilot.

Arguably the most useful function of the Basilisk is the capability of sublight and lightspeed travel, allowing it to deploy in any star system at a moment’s notice without the need to be dropped in. It also gives the pilot the peace of mind that they can go anywhere and still have their trusty droid with them for backup. Its presence also has a significant impact on psychological warfare, with its imposing figure and unique howl from its powerful ion engine.
