- EMP Weakness: If hit by an EMP, PD will be shut off for an abnormally long period of time. This leaves whatever ship he is piloting unattended for a few minutes after even its own systems come online, making it vulnerable to attack.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
PD-141 was originally designed and programmed to be the next step in Pilot Droid technology, implemented with some of the best combat training in the galaxy as well as an ever adapting AI, he was supposed to be the droid to replace all pilots. However, after 10 short years of service he was phased out for another model of pilot droid by his old owners, being left to drift aimlessly through the galaxy.
After 20 years of this drifting in a U-Wing he had acquired, PD picked up a Mandalorian bounty hunter named Leenic and the two hit it off pretty well. He acted as a bit of a hired chauffeur for a while, giving Leenic air support and transport when he needed it, before Leenic hired him as a full time pilot. The two have stuck together for the past few months, with each filling a specific role in their little combat group.
