- Loud Operational Noise: Its machinery can produce noise during operation, making it detectable in stealth scenarios.
- Limited Range of Motion: Due to its antiquated design, its mobility and flexibility in combat are restricted.
- Power Supply Dependency: Continuous operation requires a substantial power supply, limiting operation time in isolated environments.
- Rigidity: Struggles with creative or unconventional problem-solving.
- Reaction Time: Delayed responses to unexpected or rapidly changing situations due to old processing systems.
- Overheating: Continuous usage of multiple systems can lead to overheating, requiring a cooldown period.
- Limited Self-repair: While it can repair minor damages, significant damage requires specialized attention.
- Sensor Vulnerability: Advanced jamming equipment can confuse its scanning and targeting systems.
- Adaptive Delay: Takes time for the droid's systems to adapt to new or unexpected combat scenarios.
DESCRIPTION
The Sentinel Droid series, often termed as the war-droid or military droid series, were prominent among the war machines of the Galactic Republic and Sith Empire during the Jedi Civil War. Outwardly identical, the different Marks (from I to V) had nuanced internal differences. The HK-series was a derivative of the Sentinel design and structure.This droid, while an impressive force during its time, now stands as a relic of the past. Yet, its age brings with it a resilience and determination that few modern machines can replicate. Ideal for treasure hunters looking for a formidable obstacle, the Sentinel Droid, with its dated yet unique technology, is both a challenge and a glimpse into the annals of history.
During the Mandalorian Wars, Revan's Republic forces deployed such droids from KT-400 military droid carriers, from which they controlled them by remote signal much like the Droid Control Ships of the Trade Federation and the Confederacy of Independent Systems millennia later. Such droids were used when the Republic conquered the Mandalorian remnant on Dxun. At least one carrier crashed on the moon's surface; it and its complement of droids were later discovered by the Jedi Exile.
Sentinel droids were equipped with blaster rifles and could benefit from personal energy shields, which, unlike spherical energy shields utilized by other models, allowed them to move while shielded.
The Ahto City Civil Authority used these droids extensively for security and apprehending those who broke the laws of Ahto City. Revan was apprehended on Manaan by a battalion of sentinel droids under the command of a Selkath officer. Like the Mark IV assault droid, the sentinel droid was preferred by the nonviolent, pacifistic Selkath over live soldiers.
