Although not a manufacturer of Droids, the Imperial Department of Military Research advances Droid design in unusual directions. Rebel leaders learn over the course of the Galactic Civil War that the department is responsible for dark and cunning Droid designs, such as Interrogation Droids and the Dark Trooper project.
When a particularly dangerous design is discovered, Rebel agents are dispatched to hinder its development or to destroy the facilities required to build the units.
Manufacturer Traits[]
Imperial Droids vary greatly in mission and specifications. However, their prototypes are constructed with built-in tracking devices and recording equipment to document the Droid's performance.
- The Droids transmit the data upon command to a central reporting station or, when in the field, to the nearest Imperial installation.
