Reference Book: Star Wars Saga Edition Scavenger's Guide to Droids
The number of Droids present in the Star Wars universe is enough to make one's head spin, for the sheer number of Droid models alone could fill a datapad's memory banks, and these Droids contribute to almost every facet of galactic society. With numerous manufacturing companies continually designing and building new lines of Droids as well as improving existing models, this industry has no end in sight.
This article, aptly named the Droid Codex, features a sampling of Droids from various periods of the Star Wars timeline that are newly written for the Star Wars Roleplaying Game. Each Droid presented has its own full entry that includes a statistics block, a description, a background, and an illustration. Although each entry is typically for the stock version of the Droid, any number of variants can exist and might reasonably be encountered, depending on the interests of the Gamemaster and the players. Each Droid also includes a statistics block for the Protocol Format. Gamemasters who are using the optional protocol rules can give the Protocol Format statistics block to the player who owns the Droid for quick reference.
Each Droid entry also includes a "Playing the Droid" sidebar, which includes a number of details about the construction and design of that Droid. This area contains not only information about how to recreate the Droid from scratch using the Droid construction rules and new equipment from Droid Equipment, it also includes tips on how to properly portray the Droid's personality according to the data presented in Droid Heroes and Droid Allies of this book.
The entries in this chapter indicate a number of modifications that Gamemasters can implement, letting the Droid perform other functions not normally performed by stock models. These modifications might be mechanical upgrades or parts replacements that allow the Droid to undertake new tasks and provide some interesting twists and surprises during game play. These modifications can also serve as inspiration for developing your own variants of the Droid.
In addition to the information listed above, each entry also contains a sidebar feature that provides additional background information about the Droid and offers an adventure seed for an adventure revolving around that Droid, to help the Gamemaster introduce the new Droid into the game.
