Discussions - union of separatists - groups my world. Battle Droid Army Octuptarra Tri-Battle Droid

In English, an is a form of the indefinite article, which caused the reduction of the word.

Although it is correct to call only humanoid robots androids, the word “droid” in the world of Star Wars means a robot in general. Droids were used both as military force and as assistants.

NK-47

A unique protocol assassin droid designed by the Sith Lord Revan from the game KotOR1. Revan personally programmed and assembled HK-47, in particular after the incident when HK called Darth Malak a "meatbag", Revan made sure that HK addressed everyone that way. During the height of the war, the droid was sent on a mission but was unable to return. It visited many owners, after which it was bought by Revan, who at that time had his memory erased by the Jedi. After the events of the first game, it went to the Exile, together with whom he cleared the galaxy of his pirate copies - HK-50 and HK-51.

Civilian droids

Along with combat droid models, there were also a variety of droids in use throughout the galaxy, used in a variety of peaceful areas of life.

Recon droids (probe droids)

Recon droids (probe droids)- special imperial reconnaissance droids that were sent to different parts of the Galaxy to detect the rebel base. They were equipped with a light blaster, an interplanetary communication system, all possible and impossible sensors (the droid even had a sense of smell), special mechanical arms that were used to take samples of various objects, and a self-destruction system. They were able to function for decades; many of them survived the Empire, but continued to fulfill their task.

Helper droids

Protocol Droids- were used to record and store verbal information, as well as translate the languages of other peoples and the binary language (“squeaking”) of astromech droids into the host language. Examples are the well-known C-3PO and TC-14 (Protocol droid from one of the Trade Federation ships. Met in the first episode of the saga.).

Battery droids

Inconspicuous droids that look like small boxes with legs. They walk very slowly and communicate with strange low beeps.
Despite their inconspicuousness, they are indispensable for fighters, as they are the only source of energy.

Astromech Droids (mechanical droids)- small droids, painted in various colors, used to maintain heavy equipment, spaceships, and control computer systems. Usually equipped with various kinds of tools and sensors, but the droid R2-D2, one of the heroes of the film, is also equipped with rocket engines, a slot for storing memory cards, a holographic player, a small circular saw, a stun gun (he used it to kill the buzz droid in the Battle of Coruscant) and a small magnetic suction cup (with its help, during the battle on Geonosis, he returned C-3PO's head "in place", replacing the droid's head, which was accidentally attached to C-3PO's torso). Astrodroids help in piloting fighters, and on enemy ships and bases they are simply irreplaceable due to the ability to be integrated into computer control systems. In the Old Republic, Astromechs were typically brown in color with good computer skills. The illustration shows the most common R-series astromech droids. The BB-8 droid from the seventh episode of the saga, unlike the usual R-series, has a spherical shape; It is unknown whether it is a mass-produced product or whether BB-8 is unique. The hand-built droid T3-M4 was unique, it was made on Taris by a droid saleswoman and later purchased by Revan and belonged to Darth Traya, the Jedi Exile and other owners of the Ebon Hawk.
Cyclops droids "Vak"- small humanoid droids with one eye-button responsible for turning on/off, used for carrying light and medium-heavy cargo, as well as piloting starships. Not equipped with any additional tools.

Military of the Confederacy of Independent Systems - also known
like the Droid Army or the Separatist Droid Army - consisted of
a large number of military equipment, battle droids, organic forces and
various military units.
KNS were mainly controlled by representatives of large businesses, such
as Viceroy, Chairman of the Sen Banking Clan
Hill and Techno Union Chief Wat Tambor. They weren't warriors or
generals, but merchants interested more in profit than in
battle, and as a result, was not adapted to command troops in
battlefield. Of the entire political elite, only Count Dooku, Poggle
Lesser and Nute Gunray had at least some experience in combat
actions. However, there was a prevailing conviction among them that superior numbers and
The latest droid designs will ensure their victory in the Clone Wars. IN
in a sense they were right, because they were
good enough to handle Jedi, and due to repeated
Outnumbered, the KNU won many battles. However
the uselessness of some droids, such as the B1 battle droid, became
the cause of many defeats.
The army consisted primarily of droids and was often called the Army
droids. Various commercial organizations gathered under the flag
Confederacy, providing its own troops to the Separatist Army and
having received an extensive group of droids. The lineup was presented as
Trade Federation battle droids and security forces
Commerce Guild, Banking Clan and Corporate Alliance.
One of the largest groups was provided by the Techno Union,
which not only allocated ready-made B2 super combat droids, but also launched
production of additional batches at their enterprises.
The rest of the allies were quick to offer their help. Confederation
controlled countless worlds throughout and was able to join her army
There are many local armed groups. Nimbus warriors with,
led by Alto Stratus, League of Isolation,
defenders, separatists and many others helped the KNU
and fought with. Many
these troops consisted not of droids, but of intelligent beings. Being in
mainly an army of droids, the Separatist army also included
organic beings. Gossam Commandos, Corporate Soldiers
alliance and other warriors used their own during the battle
tactics. Unlike droids, these soldiers had independent intelligence and
were able to effectively resist even republican ones.
Between organics and automation - in the literal sense - there was one
being: General Grievous, Supreme Commander of the Droid Army.
A cyborg with a brilliant tactician's mind and a powerful armored body, Grievous
fought for the glory of the Confederacy. He led his troops to many victories in
the entire Galaxy, among which was the conquest and destruction
Humbarina, attacks on strategically important worlds and a rapid attack on. He also pursued the Jedi Knights,
causing serious problems for the Droid Army, and killed many of them on
duels. Grievous's power over the troops was absolute, each of his
the order was carried out promptly. One thing made his fighting style unique
and gave an advantage over opponents: the use of lightsabers.
Thanks to this ability, he could crush anyone standing in his way,
leading to countless victories for the KNU.
The separatist army did not consist exclusively of single warriors. In
During the Clone Wars, a lot of military equipment appeared. Habitual participants
the battles were rocket robotic spiders OG-9 of the Commercial Guild,
HP-H99 Pursuit-class droid tanks, Manta fighter droids and
AAT assault tanks. Even more massive machines were used: protodeck,
Seismic Tank and Dark Reaper.

Affiliation: KNS(Confederacy of Independent Systems)

Home planet: Varies where the factory is

Race: Absent

Weapon: Various, mainly blasters and vibroswords

Army of battle droids– troops of the KNS (Confederation of Independent Systems). Unlike Republic clones, droids do not think creatively, as a result of which they are not able to perceive the experience gained in battles. Their production costs a lot of money, but this is compensated by the speed of construction. Comparing the two armies, we can say that the KNF droids are not as effective as the Republic clones, but they are much cheaper (compared to the latter) and there are more of them. Droids are divided into several “types”:

1. Battle droidsB1 - the main troops of the KNU, cheaper than super-battle droids, but less effective than the latter. The droid has no brain, and its head fits little more than a large and sensitive receiving device. It is thanks to him that the droid receives commands from the Droid Control Station. Small processors are responsible for movement and some sensory data, which they transmit to a central computer. The voice generator allows the droid to speak in a monotone mechanical voice. There are several B1 droids:

1-1. B1 no difference – beige- standard battle droid. Armed with a rifle, pistol and thermal detonator.

1-2. B1 with blue circles– a mechanic droid whose main task is to maintain equipment and pilot it.

1-3. B1 with green circles – landing

1-4. B1 with yellow marks – squad commander.

1-5. B1 with red stripes on the shoulders and chest – security droid. Protects various KNS facilities.

In addition to improved armor that could successfully withstand most standard clone blasters, droid saboteurs have improved artificial intelligence, independent of the control station and can think creatively and analyze the situation on the battlefield. The voice generator of these droids allows them to reproduce different tones of sounds, creating different voices of many species and races, as well as clones. However, their vocabulary is too small and specific, so they can be quickly exposed. The weapons of the rank and file consisted of a rifle and vibroswords. In addition, droid saboteurs wield not only ranged and melee weapons, but also have hand-to-hand combat skills. Thanks to their mobile limbs, their strikes are precise and deadly. The only drawback of these droids was their high price, so during the Clone Wars they were used only in special operations. Their "ancestor" was the B1 battle droids.

5. Droidek (Droid Destroyer)- A combat type of droid used by the Trade Federation and the CIS. Droidekas, during the Clone Wars, gained a reputation as deadly creatures that even the Jedi feared. They were valued for their versatility and firepower. Destroyer droids participated in many battles of the Clone Wars, usually in small units, and also served as security guards in various Separatist installations. Droidekas were superior to B1 Battle Droids in several ways. They could fold into a cylindrical shape, reminiscent of a wheel, and due to this move quickly. When faced with danger, the droids unfolded into a three-legged structure equipped with two twin blasters and, as a rule, a protective field generator that could reflect or absorb any type of energy charges, including shots from light cannons, as well as counteract lightsaber attacks. In addition, the effectiveness of Destroyer Droids was ensured by an expanded range of vision sensors that were not affected by light tricks. Despite its formidable equipment, the Droidek had a significant drawback: its shield was designed for protection in an upright position. If the droid fell on its side or crashed into a wall,
Ahsoka and Anakin fend off a droideka attack

the defense could not distinguish obstacles from lightsaber strikes or blaster bolts. Because of this, the generator continued to power the shield and burned out, making the robot vulnerable. A burned out generator left the Destroyer unprotected. Also, the Protective Field was not included in the wheel configuration. Droidek had difficulty moving down slopes and up stairs. To do this, he had to unfold and begin the descent or ascent, which caused difficulties with the coordination of his legs.

This droid's weapon was a special electrostaff made from Freak, a material that can resist a lightsaber. The magnaguard could also use a B1 droid missile launcher or rifle. They were known as formidable assassins, capable of easily dispatching both Republic clones and the Jedi themselves. Magnadroid was one of the most dangerous droids of the Confederacy. Used to protect Separatist leaders from the Jedi. Their staves did not deflect blaster shots, so they were useless in a large battle.

7. Octuptarra droid– actively used during the Clone Wars by the Techno Union and the KNU. The three-legged arachnid automata had a large spherical head mounted on a thin body. Below the head, laser cannons were installed. The droid's standard armament consisted of three laser turrets, spaced evenly on each side, below the photoreceptors. The height of the droid, moving on three zigzag, divided supports, was 3.6 meters. It was almost impossible to get close to the droid unnoticed, since the photoreceptors located on different sides provided a 360-degree view of the terrain, and the articulated rotating block allowed them to immediately open fire in the event of a sudden collision with the enemy, which made them a difficult and dangerous target. The Octuptarra Droid was most effective to use at a distance, since its weapons and height allowed it to fire at long ranges, but if the enemy got close, the droid became vulnerable, since the weapons did not allow firing close, and the large head was poorly protected from dense fire from enemy side.

Introduction
Droids are robots invented by George Lucas that were used in the fictional world of the famous director (see “Star Wars”). The word droid itself was formed from another name for robots in science fiction literature - android (humanoid, translated from Greek). In English, an is a form of the indefinite article, which caused the reduction of the word. Although it is correct to call only humanoid robots androids, the word “droid” in the world of Star Wars means a robot in general. Droids were used both as military force and as assistants. Below are the following types of droids.

1. Battle Droids

1.1. Separatist B1 battle droids

Battle droids.

Separatist B1 battle droids- standard droids, were used as the main troops of the Trade Federation, and after its accession to the Confederacy of Independent Systems (CIS), they became the basis of the Separatist Droid Army. Armament included a blaster rifle and pistol, as well as a thermal detonator. They were used in the Battle of Naboo and lost due to control being disabled. After the Battle of Naboo, the Senate decided to ban the construction of battle droids and the development of droid technology. But the Trade Federation transferred their production to distant planets that were not part of the Republic. There the droid model was improved. The main combat tactics of droids is to take in numbers, since an individual droid was a very weak opponent due to the lack of combat experience and dependence on the control computer.

In addition to the B1 soldiers, there were also:
- Command droids who coordinated the actions of the rank and file. They had yellow circles on their foreheads and chests and received orders from the central computer's processors through priority channels.
- Guards (red) - can be distinguished by the red coloring of their shoulders and a small horizontal stripe above their belly.
- Pilots who controlled equipment and warships. Had blue circles.
- Paratroopers (green circles). Used in the capture of spaceships.
Following the execution of Order 66, Emperor Palpatine ordered them to be disabled along with all other Separatist droids.

1.2. B2 super battle droids

Four super battle droids attack.

B2 super battle droids- before the start of the Clone Wars, new systems joined the Separatists, and one of them provided the Separatists with new droids. These models received their baptism of fire at the Battle of Geonosis.

The droid's weapons included a hand blaster, a triple blaster, and a hand-held rocket launcher. The super droid could also fight in hand-to-hand combat using his strong arms. The Techno Union that created the droid also gave it more advanced artificial intelligence, allowing it to act independently. In terms of its combat qualities, it was much stronger than the B1, but it took much longer to build and was more expensive. That is why the B2 series droids did not become the main fighting force of the KIS. There were various modifications of the droid for different combat conditions. After the order was executed, 66 were disabled. Some of the super droids went to criminal gangs, who continued to use them for security.

1.3. Droidekas

Droideka at the Battle of Geonosis

Droidekas (destroyer droids)- a type of battle droid of the Trade Federation and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. During the Clone Wars, they earned a reputation as the most dangerous droids, possessing rapid-fire twin machine gun blasters and a shield generator that reflected or absorbed any type of energy charges, including shots from light cannons, as well as allowing them to counter attacks from lightsabers and melee weapons. They also had the ability to fold into a ball for faster movement. Like the B2 super battle droids, they operated independently of control stations. Droidekas fought in many battles during the Clone Wars, usually in small units, and also served as security guards in various Separatist installations. The Jedi very rarely engaged them in battle, preferring to run away. Emperor Palpatine disabled them after the execution of Order 66. After the end of the Clone Wars, many droidekas fell into the hands of smugglers and criminal gangs, who continued to use them for their intended purpose. They also appear in the Star Wars: Empire at War expansion pack.

1.4. MagnaGuardians (Magnadroids)

MagnaGuardian

MagnaGuardians- elite troops developed towards the end of the Clone Wars. The MagnaGuards' weapon was a special electrostaff made from Freak, a material that can resist a lightsaber. Other weapons could also be used, such as a rocket launcher, a rifle. The MagnaGuards were known as fearsome assassins, capable of dispatching both clones of the Grand Army of the Republic and the Jedi themselves with ease. They were considered one of the most dangerous droids of the Confederacy. They were used to protect the Separatist leaders from the Jedi - the MagnaGuards did not know how to use a blaster, their staffs did not deflect blaster beams, so they were useless in a big battle. After the destruction of the Jedi, they were disabled as unnecessary and replaced with Knights of the Empire. Several MagnaGuards were also the personal bodyguards of General Grievous.

1.5. Droid saboteurs

Droid saboteur

Droid saboteurs (droid commandos) - elite droids of the KIS army, used during the Clone Wars. Mainly adapted for sabotage, murder and unnoticed penetration of classified objects.

Saboteur droids were an improved version of the regular B1 battle droids. In addition to improved armor that could successfully withstand most standard clone blasters, droid saboteurs have improved artificial intelligence, independent of the control station and can think creatively and analyze the situation on the battlefield. The vocabulator of these droids can speak in the voices of various species and races, as well as clones. However, their vocabulary is too small and specific, so they can be quickly exposed. The armament of the rank and file was the E-5 blaster rifle. Commanders of droid saboteur units can have vibroswords for hand-to-hand combat. In addition, droid saboteurs wield not only long- and short-range weapons, but also have hand-to-hand combat skills. Thanks to their mobile limbs, their strikes are precise and deadly. The only drawback of these droids was their high price, so during the Clone Wars they were used only in special operations.

1.6. Tactical droid

Tactical droid

Tactical droid- a model of a battle droid created by KNS engineers during the Clone Wars to control troops.

With the outbreak of the Clone Wars, the CIS needed to create a new type of battle droid, capable of commanding conventional droids in both ground and space battles. The result of the work of KNS engineers and scientists was a tactical droid - the size of a B2 super battle droid, while possessing extraordinary knowledge in the field of strategy and tactics.

Possessing some individuality, tactical droids can analyze and assess the situation on the battlefield, if necessary, issuing orders even to destroy their own combat units if this will help tip the advantage in the battle to the side of the Separatists.

During the Clone Wars, tactical droids controlled Separatist warships and combat units.

1.7. Dwarf Spider Droid

Spider droid

Dwarf Spider Droid- a battle droid produced by the Merchant Guild for the Separatist army.

The functions of this droid are similar to those of a conventional combat vehicle. During the Clone Wars, dwarf spider droids were used on the front lines as the vanguard of battle droid squads and other Separatist droids. Infrared photoreceptors and powerful scanners allow the droid to study its surroundings and transmit target data to the homing spider droid. The droid's main weapon is a blaster cannon mounted on its "face" like a nose. Its small size and four legs that can move on any surface make it suitable for use in dangerous mines. However, due to the fact that its laser cannon is fixed in one position, it cannot deploy it to track an enemy, and is thus poorly suited for taking out fast-moving targets. It is also equipped with a self-destruct mechanism. Several different models of the dwarf spider droid were used during the war, including an amphibious model equipped with a more powerful cannon, and two more models with heavier weapons: the heavy dwarf spider droid and the modified dwarf spider droid. This type of droid took part in many battles during the Clone Wars. One of these was the Battle of Kashyyyk, where they were used against Republican AT-RT units.

1.8. Crab droid LM-432

Crab droid LM-432

Crab droid LM-432- was developed already during the conflict.

The crab droid project is based on an automatic machine that uses numerous supports as a chassis, allowing it to move with ease on any surface. The large front legs of the crab droid are equipped with heavy duranium stabilizers and heavy-duty claws that freely "cut" into the surface, providing solid stability. The remaining four legs are equipped with tongs, designed to grasp an object or to provide additional stability. Thanks to powerful servomotors that move its legs, the heavily armored crab moves with good speed and agility over uneven terrain and even rocky surfaces.

The small body of the LM-432 houses a full complement of droid components: a central processor, sensor systems, a targeting computer, photoreceptors and a communications system. The droid's armor, covering part of the body and legs, is an expensive alloy of ceramic and durasteel known as armoplast, thanks to which a blaster shot can be reflected.

In addition to powerful leg claws, the LM-432 is armed with a dual blaster. Originally used in conflicts on swamp worlds, the droid's front legs were equipped with vacuum pumps that sucked up swamp mud, clearing space and paths for Separatist forces, earning them the nickname "Muckracker" or Scavenger.

However, such a powerful machine has its drawbacks, in particular the red optical sensor located almost in the center of its “belly” and at the back between its “legs”. If this sensor is repeatedly hit, even with blasters, it can disable the robot. This Achilles' heel was discovered in the game Star Wars: Republic Commando.

After the end of the Clone Wars, the crab droids, like other droids, were deactivated. Some of them ended up at the Imperial Academy on Carida, where they were used in training centers. The six-legged crab droid design was later used in early development of the MT-AT walker.

1.9. Vulture droid

A droid that appeared before the Clone Wars. This droid was first used on Trade Federation blockade ships. Could transform from a huge infantry droid into a droid fighter. Armed with two laser cannons and a rocket launcher with 4 missiles. They could be produced from a special block in the amount of 5 pieces.

1.10. Octuptarra tri-battle droid

Octupar Tri-Battle Droid

Octaptarr's battle droids were combat automata used by the Techno Union and the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. The droids got their name "Octaptarra" in honor of the eight-eyed, gas-bag-shaped, stem-like creature from the world of Skako, and the most common and common name was "tri-droids".

The three-legged arachnid automata had a large spherical head mounted on a thin body. Below the head, the body was armed with laser turrets. The droid's standard armament consisted of three laser turrets, spaced evenly on each side, below the photoreceptors. The height of the droid, moving on three zigzag, divided supports, was 3.6 meters. Tri-droids received their first combat use in the Battle of Coruscant, being an improved ground force for the Separatists.

It was almost impossible to get close to the droid unnoticed, since the photoreceptors located on different sides provided a 360-degree view of the panorama of the area, and the articulated rotating block allowed the tri-droids to immediately open fire in the event of a sudden collision with the enemy, which made them a difficult and dangerous target. The Octaptarra droid was most effective to use at a distance, since its weapons and height allowed it to fire at long ranges, but if the enemy got close, the droid became vulnerable, since the weapons did not allow firing close, and the tri-droid’s large head became too tempting a target. .

This tactic was widely used by clone troopers during the early stages of the Clone Wars. But the Separatists, in response, began to use biological weapons that affected the genome of the clone soldiers. The voids present in the droid's spherical head began to be filled with a gaseous virus, which was released if the droid was destroyed, which became an effective weapon against organic Republic forces. Viral variants are called “virus droids.” An example of the large-scale modular production technology of the Techno Union and the development of combat tactics and use are the different versions of the Octaptarra models that appeared during the Clone Wars - large ones serving as artillery, used in the Battle of Migeto, and small versions designed to combat enemy personnel, lost in size, but gained in agility, used in the Battle of Utapau. After the end of the Clone Wars, Octaptarr's droids, like other droid forces of the Separatists, were disabled. However, the local population of Ubeze on the planet Uba IV, where they were manufactured, continued to use them as battle droids.

1.11. Buzz droid

Buzz droid

Buzz droids- used by the KNS in space battles against the Galactic Republic. Measuring approximately 0.25 meters in diameter and heavily armed, they were typically launched using missiles fired from a tri-fighter or vulture droid. Tactically, buzz droids were used in large numbers and, like a swarm of insects, swooped down on fighters, disabling control systems. The saw droids were intended to damage the starfighter rather than completely destroy it. They were used so effectively by tri-fighters that the Confederacy of Independent Systems upgraded vulture droids to carry them as well.

Saw droids were equipped with simple maneuvering jet engines to help them move. The outer shell was coated with an alloy that dissipated heat and allowed them to penetrate enemy defense fields; in addition, it was made of shock-absorbing material. They communicated with each other using squeaks, hisses and crackles. The saw droids' weapons could differ for each mission, but the main ones used were: drill heads, plasma cutters, circular saws, tweezers. The droid's sensors were equipped with x-ray units and various filters to detect vital ship systems. Darth Sidious provided the sawmill droid manufacturers with designs for Republic starfighters to ensure the droids would operate most effectively.

Following the execution of Order 66, the saw droids were deactivated. Millions of droids were left idle. These droids were next seen in combat on the side of Tiber Zann during the Galactic Civil War. These droids were used by Zann to disable the combat systems of enemy ships.

1.12. NK-47

A unique protocol assassin droid designed by the Sith Lord Revan from the game KotOR1. Revan personally programmed and assembled HK-47, in particular after the incident when HK called Darth Malak a "meatbag", Revan made sure that HK addressed everyone that way. At the height of the war, the droid was sent on a mission. but could not return. It visited many owners and was then purchased by Revan, whose memory was erased by the Jedi at that time. After the events of the first game, it went to the Exile, together with whom he cleared the galaxy of his pirate copies - HK-50 and HK-51.

2. Civilian droids

Along with combat droid models, there were also a variety of droids in use throughout the galaxy, used in a variety of peaceful areas of life.

2.1. Scout droids

Scout droids- special imperial reconnaissance droids that were sent to different parts of the Galaxy to detect the rebel base. They were equipped with a light blaster, an interplanetary communication system, all possible and impossible sensors (the droid even had a sense of smell), special mechanical arms that were used to take samples of various objects, and a self-destruction system. They were able to function for decades; many of them survived the Empire, but continued to fulfill their task.

2.2. Helper droids

Protocol Droids- were used to record and store verbal information, as well as translate the languages of other peoples and the squeaking of astromech droids into the host’s language. An example is the well-known C-3PO.

2.3. Astromech Droids

Astromech droids

Astromech Droids- small droids, painted in various colors, used to maintain heavy equipment, spaceships, and control computer systems. Usually equipped with various kinds of tools and sensors, but the droid R2-D2, one of the heroes of the film, is also equipped with rocket engines, a slot for storing memory cards, a holographic player, a small circular saw, an electric shock (he used it to break the droid's eye at the beginning of episode 3) and a small magnetic suction cup (with which he tore C-3PO's head off the droid and attached it to his own body). Astrodroids help in piloting fighters, and on enemy ships and bases they are simply irreplaceable due to the ability to be embedded in computer control systems. In the Old Republic, Astromechs were typically brown in color with good computer skills. The hand-built droid T3-M4 was unique, it was made on Taris by a droid saleswoman and later purchased by Revan and belonged to Darth Traya, the Jedi Exile and other owners of the Ebon Hawk.
