See also: Droids, Droid Systems
Any miscellaneous system that does not fall under one of the above categories can be considered an Accessory. Accessories add functions or improve existing systems on a Droid, making them more capable and efficient.
Cost and Weight: Sometimes a Droid Accessory has a flat cost or weight. Often the cost and/or weight is determined by multiplying a base number by a Droid's cost factor, which is determined by the Droid's size.
Availability: Some Droid Accessories have limited availability or are strictly regulated, as described in Restricted Items.
Droid Armor[]
Droids can be equipped with built-in armor that provides an armor bonus to Reflex Defense. Bipedal Droids with two Hand Appendages can also wear Armor designed for humanoid creatures; however, the Armor Bonus granted by built-in Armor does not stack with the Armor Bonus provided by worn Armor.
Speed: A Droid with built-in Light, Medium, or Heavy Armor takes no penalty to its speed.
Armor Check Penalty: a Droid with built-in armor takes an Armor Check Penalty on attack rolls as well as skill checks made using the following Skills: Acrobatics, Climb, Endurance, Initiative, Jump, Stealth, and Swim. The type of armor worn determines the size of the penalty: light, -2; medium, -5; heavy, -10. A Droid with the appropriate Armor Proficiency feat negates these penalties.
Maximum Dexterity Bonus: Built-in Droid armor has a Maximum Dexterity Bonus, just like normal armor.
Availability: Some armors have limited availability.
- Rare: This armor is rarely for sale on the open market. The price of the armor on the black market is usually double the listed cost.
- Licensed, Restricted, Military, or Illegal: Ownership of the armor is limited or strictly regulated, as described in Restricted Items.
Running in Heavy Armor: When Running in Heavy Armor, a Droid can only move up to three times its speed (instead of four times).

Hardened Systems[]
Droids of Large or greater size can be designed to have internal armor and redundant systems that enable it to continue functioning despite heavy damage. This is represented by a multiplier that increases the bonus Hit Points and Damage Threshold based on the Droid's size. For example, a Large Droid with Hardened Systems x3 would have +30 Hit Points and a +15 bonus to its Damage Threshold instead of the usual +10 Hit Points and +5 bonus to its Damage Threshold.

Sensor Systems[]
Sensors allow the Droid to perceive its surroundings. Most Droids are equipped with a standard sensor array that gives them the visual and auditory acuity of an average Human. For an additional cost, a Droid can be outfitted with an Improved Sensor Package or with Darkvision.

Shield Generator Systems[]
The Droid is fitted with a deflector Shield Generator- the same type mounted on Starships. Whenever the Droid would take damage, reduce the damage by the Droid's Shield Rating (SR). If the damage is equal to or greater than the Droid's Shield Rating, the Droid's Shield Rating is reduced by 5. By spending three Swift Actions on the same or consecutive rounds, the Droid may make a DC 20 Endurance check to restore lost shield power. If the check succeeds, the Droid's Shield Rating increases by 5 points (up to its normal Shield Rating).
Due to the size and energy requirements of Shield Generators, only Droids of Small size or larger can be equipped with a SR 10 Generator. Only Droids of Medium size or larger can be equipped with a SR 15 generator. Only Droids of Large or bigger size can be equipped with a SR 20 generator.

Translator Units[]
The Droid is equipped with a device that allows it to understand and convey information in a variety of languages, including nonverbal ones. When the Droid experiences a form of communication for the first time, it makes an Intelligence check to determine whether it can identify and understand the language. The DC is based on the Translator Unit's database, with the better units having a lower DC.

A special classification of Droid Accessory are Droid Stations- a Droid-specific control and maintenance station. Droid Stations are found aboard Starships and other locations where Droids are integral to a ship's or a building's operations. Droid Stations are typically permanent installations and cannot be relocated without disassembly and considerable labor.
