Droid Engineer Archive

Taken from "Destiny's Way" ..a Star Wars book setyears after A New Hope. The purpose of this post is threefold; to show how according to Star Wars timeline the SWG devs were a liiiiiitle bit off as far as droids go, to maybe help people 'follow in Luke's footsteps' on there path to opening their FS slot... and for a laugh The setting for SWG is after A New Hope,so25 years from now we will be perfectly balanced...

Luke saw a boxy, wheeled droid, and gave a little shiver of distaste. "It looks like a mouse droid," he said. Millions of mouse droids were in existence, chittering and squeaking and running their obscure arronds beneath the feet of annoyed citizens. Why anyone had chosen to model a droid on disease-carrying vermin was beyond him.

"It's a mouse droid chassis," Lando said. "We get them cheap--people practically pay us to take them away."

"Who ever notices a mouse droid?" Lando said. "Most people do their best to avoid noticing them."

"Our next model will feature a small repulsor lift. Flying recon and attack mouse droids-- just think of it!"

Luke reached out and gave the smooth plastic surface of the mouse droid a pat. "I have a feeling," he said, "this little critter is going to be very, very useful."
