Battle Droids

The Galactic Republic has survived disagreements, standoffs, and even rebellion among its many member worlds, relying on the Jedi Knights to quell conflicts. In this enlightened age, few standing armies are maintained that serve anything other than ceremonial purposes, since an army could be regarded as an open threat to galactic peace. Nevertheless as the bureaucracy of the Republic Senate indulges in endless debates and procedural bickering, the use of the force has become a real threat. The wealthy Trade Federation has quietly gone far beyond any other group in assembling a massive army composed of ghostly, emotionless droid soldiers that are ready to do their masters' bidding without a touch of emotion or mercy. Their deployment upon the peaceful people of Naboo heralds the end of an age of peace and security in the galaxy.

Since battle droids are capable of wielding deadly blasters, they are designed to be incapable of independent thought. They are governeed entirely by the Central Control Computer and have no ability to react from surprises or learn from experience. While battle droids can be deadly, thei firing accuracy is poor.

For efficient storage, battle droids are built to fold up tightly, compressing to minimal volume. In compresed configuration, 112 battle droids can be carried in the special dployment rack of an MTT.
