STRENGTHS

• + Wrist-mounted Laser: The TAB droid's wrist-mounted laser is accurate, rechargeable, and versatile against a large scope of opponents.
• + Shoulder Rockets: Explosive ordinance packs a punch against light vehicles or small to mid-sized ship hulls. The rockets have a heat-seeking ability and targeting system.
• + Computer Splicing Ability: If the TAB droid is within touching distance of a computer system, they can attempt to splice into the computer system up to three times, disabling up to three separate smaller systems or one major system.
• + Large, Imposing and Tough: The TAB droids are large and imposing, and they are somewhat difficult to dispatch in hand-to-hand combat.

WEAKNESSES

• * Weak protection against energy attacks: The TAB Droid overheats and fails easily after receiving a few laser slugs.
• * Weak protection against EMP blasts and other types of energy attacks: TAB Droids and electricity don't mix.
• * Weak protection against Radiation: TAB Droids and radiation particularly don't mix, as radiation will cause an automatic failure.
• * Slow and Unsturdy: These robots are bipedal and do not have thruster technology. They are considerably slower than vehicles and advanced droids.

DESCRIPTION

TAB droids were created by Ova Ziss and the United Trade Authority to help protect the various asteroid mining facilities that Ova oversees on Dantooine. When Mandalorian pirates began sniping at Ziss's mining barges and miners, he formulated and then deployed TAB droids to take out the pirates or to arrest them and bring them to the authorities. TABs help bring autonomous peace to Dantooine and to the Dantooine Space Station. In addition, TAB Droids are used by United Trade Authority mining barges to assist in extracting the resources without subjecting living beings to the awful conditions in mining space.
