The official FAQ labels combat droids as droids that can be equipped with weapons
and programmed to fight for their owner. Bounty Hunters will probably find these
droids extremely useful. The following droids could possibly fall into the category
of combat droids.
IG Assassin Droid
|
|
The IG assassin droid is a cold, efficient killer. Roughly humanoid in shape, the IG droid
stands approximately 2 meters tall. It's weapons complement includes a repeating blaster
cannon in each forearm, a concussion grenade launcher built into the left hip, a sonic stunner,
a paralysis cord, and a rack of poison gas canisters. The mirrored palm in its left hand is
capable of deflecting blaster bolts. Finally, the IG droid is capable of dramatically raising the
temperature of its exterior plating, allowing it to burn through nets and other restraining devices.
It may very well be the case that players will not get to own an IG droid, since continuity-wise, only
4 were ever in existance. Hopefully though, this marvel of engineering will make it into the game as an
NPC.

Battle Droids
|
|
Battle Droids make very efficient soldiers as seen in the recent Star Wars prequels. While
some would say that they are nothing but mindless walking blasters, others would call their lack
of intelligence a part of what makes them good soldiers. A robotic, mindless soldier is loyal,
unquestioning, and easy to control. Not only are they good soldiers, the Battle Droid's humanlike physique
allows it to pilot a variety of war craft and other machinery. During the Galactic Civil War, it
appears that Battle Droids have been replaced with stormtroopers, but we will still probably see
these droids in the game to some extent.
