Legend

developed for the Empire by Arakyd during the early years of the New Order, this tall, cylindrical droid was designed to guard remote outposts. It contained a unique biorecognition package that could identify the biomagnetic signature of virtually any race or species. Data was provided to the Stiletto droid from interrogation sessions, and had to be hardcoded into the droid's computer memory ROM. The Stiletto series was equipped with a small repulsorlift propulsion system, and was armed with a pair of blaster cannons. These systems allowed the Stiletto to use its tracking routines to hunt down an escaped prisoner or specific target. The tracking and targetting routines of the Stiletto were quite accurate, and escapees had to rely on luck to get away. Because of their age, many Stilettoes were still in use during the New Republic's early years.
