Studious Class Construction Droid

WorkerDroid.jpg


Image Source: Worker Droid.
Intent: To create a construction droid which can work in almost any environment. This little guy can work alone or in groups to build anything mechanical. It is non-combat, so though it could in a pinch fight with a welder or grip arm it is a poor combatant.
Development Thread: Dangerous Jade (Summit). Maelion and Callisto meet with [member="Natasi Fortan"] and get droid designs approved.
Manufacturer: Archangel Research & Design
Model: 01011100
Affiliation: Open market, First Order, Archangel Research & Design & closed market to approved buyers only
Modularity: Can be easily modified to work in atmosphere, space or water.
Production: Mass Produced
Material: Durasteel, standard droid components. Thermal and radiation shielding standard for space use.
Classification: Class 2
Weight: 100kg
Height: 60cm, 110cm long, 50cm wide.
Movement: Repulsorlift
Armaments: The droid has an array of tools for construction work including drills, welders, grips and hammers. These make inefficient weapons though.
Misc. Equipment:
  • Standard droid brain and programming.
  • Advanced engineering and construction programming.
  • Long range transmitter to allow for orders.
  • ‘Kill switch’ command code.
  • Temperature/radiation/water protection and sealing.
Strengths:
  • Diligent. As a construction unit the Studious is a useful droid. It requires little maintenance and can operate for long shifts without rest.
  • Versatile. Able to operate in space, under water or in atmosphere, the Studious can operate in almost all environments and is protected from the elements.
  • Builder. Equipped with relatively advanced programming to allow it to perform engineering tasks, the droid is not just a bumbling lug, it can be given complex instructions and will perform them.
  • Safety-Minded. The droid can be given verbal or communication kill commands to either suspend or shut down completely.
Weaknesses:
  • Non-Combat. The Studious is a construction, not a combat droid. Its makeshift weapons can be reasonably lethal against unprotected organics, but it has no combat programming to speak of.
  • Thin Armour. Being not designed for combat the Studious is equipped with plating designed to resist heat and radiation, not blasters. Even a regular blaster will be able to quickly disable one of these units.
  • Small Picture. The Studious is a good builder if it has the plans and materials, but it cannot improvise or rationalise the project. It must therefore be kept under close organic direction.


Description:
As part of a deal with the First Order, Archangel agreed to construct droids which could help build orbital shipyards. However, Archangel did not need to leave it there, and decided to increase the unit’s versatility and range by allowing it to operate in almost all environments and perform many roles.

The Studious itself is a long, semi-rectangular unit with manoeuvring jets, a large collection of arms and tools at the front and an interior storage capacity. Working together several of these units can lift large weights or weld, cut and secure metal in place. These tools can be tailored for the job but usually includes two large gripping arms and an array of welders, drills, saws and riveting devices.

Able to be programmed with detailed plans, the droid can work well within its allocated parameters. The droid will ceaselessly perform its tasks until the job is completed or it is ordered to stop. Using its repulsorlifts the droid can move swiftly and manoeuvre whether in air, vaccum or water.

The Studious is not a combat droid and can be easily destroyed by a regular combatant if they get a few shots in. If pressed it can defend itself with its tools but the short range and improvised nature of these weapons renders them largely ineffective.

The droid is controlled by a master access code which designates who is the owner and who can therefore give orders to it. Whoever has said access code can designate any number of other people as subordinates. This master access code is protected by advanced 512 bit encryption which would take several centuries for a regular cipher machine to break. However, if the code was stolen or mislaid obviously the droid could be misused. The key is that just like a real key the code is only as safe as the operator who uses it.

Overall the droid is a good construction unit but is not suited for combat or for tasks requiring independent thought. It is diligent, studious even, when given precise instructions and all the materials it needs.
