Droideka

Droidekas (also known as Destroyer droids) are a model of tripedal military droid fielded by Trade Federation and later, the CIS. Of Colicoid manufacture, droidekas provide heavy weapons support for droid infantry.

Features

Droidekas can move quickly by curling up into a ball shape and rolling, enable them to redeploy rapidly on the battlefied. Some models carry shielding capable of resisting blaster small arms. They are armed with two double-barrelled, automatic blasters, making them powerful anti-infantry troopers that were even a threat to Jedi. However, their high cost severely limited production. They saw service during the Battle of Naboo and during the Clone Wars, but -- like the rest of the Confederacy's droid armies -- were de-activated at the Clone Wars' end.
