GENERAL INFO
Unit Name - P1R Recon Infantry
Affiliation - The Emergence Empire
Classification - Reconnaissance Infantry
Equipment - Blackjack Grenade, 12" Vibroknife, EB1 Battle Rifle, Scatter Cloak
Description - Dark, cloaked in camouflaged and sensor-scattering Armourweave, equipped with variable optics and all the powerful bits and bobs of the P1, the Recon Droid serves to provide valuable intel to battlefield troops.
Highly sophisticated Soldiers and Warriors, the P1R utilises a Proeliator Battle Brain to function.
COMBAT INFO
Unit Availability - Uncommon
Unit Size - Medium
Unit Experience - Trained
Combat Function - As capable a fighter as any other E Droid, the Recon behaves more like an ARC than a battle droid. Designed with 100x optics, the Recon will often scout from miles away, providing initial invasion or movement detail to a waiting force. During battle, if a Recon finds itself somewhere on the Frontline, they will most often provide sniper support, positioning themselves in hidden vantage points where they can pick off opposition.
Outside of battle, the Recon specialises in infiltration. Before an invasion, or simply for intel-gathering purposes, the Recon will take itself behind enemy lines, behaving independently while sabotaging a structure or stealing data. Other than sabotage or infiltration, the Recon's behaviour behind enemy lines will mostly include killing off whoever they deem important.
Strengths
Rapid Adaptation - The P1R learns fast, very fast. A squad in one battle will be noticeabley different in the next, carefully analyzing what mistakes its fellow droids had made and quickly recognising how to counter such actions.
CIS What? - The P1 and subsequent models are nothing like the droids of old. Having mastered the production of advanced warfare technologies, The Emergence Empire's factories produce Strong, Sturdy Droids that are leagues above those that fought on Geonosis and Naboo
Sneakeh - Recon's wear an armourweave, camo and ferrosphere coated cloak that makes spotting them difficult and scanning for their presence near impossible with the average scanner
Weaknesses
Galaxy Note 7 - The Brain in the head of every droid is a super-advanced piece of kit. Except for when it randomly destroys itself. Although not a common occurrence, the spontaneous melting of the brain is an issue.
EMP/ION - The Brain itself is resistant to such devices. But there is a loophole. The Brain destroys itself if the Host Body is shutdown, which itself happens to not be EMP/ION Hardened. Disable the Body and the Brain dies.
HISTORICAL INFO
After the activation of the vast P1 population across the Galaxy, the Emergence Droid Army was formed. Several different droids were subsequently designed and constructed to expand its combat capabilities, among them the P1R Recon Droid.
