- Restricted Missions: /
- Primary Source: Y1 Droid Brain.
- Manufacturer: Didact Defense Solutions.
- Model: Y4 Miniature Droid Brain
- Affiliation: Didact Defense Solutions.
- Modularity: No.
- Production: Mass-Produced.
- Material: Y2 Crystalline Lattice, Xylen, superconductive wiring and metals.
- Miniature. The Y4 is one of, if not the, smallest droid brains in the Galaxy. Its size allows it to be implemented in anything from comm-links to datapads without much trouble in implementation.
- Processing speed. Construction with the Y2 Crystalline Lattice ensures that it is faster, more efficient and capable of storing far more data than the Y1 Droid Brain.
- Linked. The Lattice's Hiridiu makeup ensures that close proximity boosts their communication ability even more.
- Smol: They are the made to be as small as possible to be implemented in a wide range of equipment that doesn't have the space for an Y1.
- Upgrade: They are a clear upgrade over the Y1 in terms of computing speed, storage and efficiency.
- Encryption: The Y2 construction ensures that these droid brains are very difficult to crack. More often than not slice attempts and similar pursuits simply end up corrupting the data within.
- Sonic: Highly competent in withstanding tremors, vibrations and other sonic effects.
- Fragile: It's made out of the Y2 Crystalline Lattice and that makes them incredibly fragile against virtually everything else. They need to be encased in hardy, resistant materials, otherwise they might shatter very quickly.
- Superconductive: Proper insulation is a must. They are very susceptible to ion/EMP effects.
- Encryption: While highly secure, it makes upgrading and modifying these brains difficult and challenging. More often than not they must be scraped entirely and new ones build in their stead.
The Y4 Miniature Droid Brain is the first droid brain constructed by Didact Defense Solutions, while using the Y2 Crystalline Lattice. While the Y2 has been used in a variety of construction projects and even shipbuilding, the Y1 was mostly found acceptable for their internal purposes. Until Didact attempted to integrate them into increasingly smaller operations and found that to be practically unfeasible. The energy requirements were immense, the weight was becoming cumbersome, overheating became a large problem. Over all the Y1 was determined to be unsuitable for smaller-scale projects.
This is when Didact finally ordered their scientists and engineers to design a new Droid Brain with their Y2 Crystalline Lattice. It took them some time, but eventually they designed a template that was capable of being scaled-down by acceptable factors while maintaining the desired processing speed and storage capacity.
Of course, using the Y2 Lattice does mean that this new generation of droid brains retains its weaknesses as well. Its increasingly more fragile than the Y1 and its small size doesn't help with that either. Its superconductive nature means its very susceptible to ion/EMP effects, making it very important to properly insulate the casing of the brain. It is also difficult to upgrade or modify it once construction is complete.
All in all the Y4 is an ideal design to integrate in small-scale tech where a regular-sized droid brain just wouldn't do.
