Old Republic Era Droids
About this creation
Since my Old Republic Era minifigures page is getting a tad crowded and these aren't even minifigures I decided to place the drids for this era in thier own page.
The Juggernaut war droid appears most prominently in the New Essential Guide to Droids. The Juggernaut was originally built during the Gank Massacres in 4800 B.B.Y for the Republic’s rocket-jumper corps. The droids popularity for their high performance was literally junked during HK-01’s Great Droid Revolution in 4015 B.B.Y. The war droids decimated the very soldiers they had been designed to supplement. After that the general trust of ALL war droids went down somewhat drastically for more than half a century until the outbreak of the Mandalorian Wars. One of the only places to find one of these babies now are museums. The Juggernaut can carry a variety of weapons in addition to the sonic stunner and shatter beam generator on its wrists; they also possess a jetpack.
It may not be perfect signal droid, but I feel safe wagering it’s the first on this site. So you have to give me that, right? The reference image (compliments of Darkhorse.com) is pretty explanatory where the droid itself is concerned. The original source is Tales of the Jedi: The Freedon Nadd Uprising. Unfortunately that is the only Tales of the Jedi I have not read.
I am guessing this is one of the only Krath war droids out there. The war droid s from T.o.t.J Dark Lords of the Sith are armed with a short sword and an antique pulse firing bow. If said bow was antique around 3,997 B.B.Y, than you know it is old. Krath war droids were supposed to be highly flexible, so here is a picture of this incredibly possible droid sprinting.

From Knights of the Old Republic Volume One: Commencement I bring you Elbee. During the middle years of the long Mandalorian Wars, before the Revanchist and his Jedi renegades assumed command, but after the devastation of the rim world Cathar, there was a Jedi Tower on the city world Taris. Said tower was staffed by ten Jedi (five zealot masters who would do ANYTHING to stop the Sith from returning, and their five padawans, blissfully ignorant until they became the targets) as well as an array of droids. One model used frequently was the LB Labor Droid Series, such as this one. This one in particular accompanied the Jedi on a testing excursion to a peculiar moon loose in the Taris System’s debris field. While he set up the shield generator to keep meteors away, and the padawans went on a nature hike, four of the masters, Jedi seers, had a vision that seemed to say one of their students would fall to the darkside and destroy the Order. Swiftly, they planned to kill their students, then hurled the only witness, this LB labor droid over a cliff where he broke into pieces.
The masters tried their plan, and it worked but for one anomaly; a certain klutz of a padawan named Zayne Carrick. Zayne ran from their bloody lightsabers, eventually drawing in the planetary security forces and a swarm of bounty hunters into the chase. But he had some allies, if cantankerous ones. The norns (Norse fates) had silected Zayne a company consisting of a con artist named Marn Hierogryph, an addle-patted tech wiz called ‘Camper’ and his short-tempered caretaker Jarael. Together, if dysfunctionally, they fled Taris in a junk hauler and sought refuge in the asteroid field. Zayne and Jarael later retrieved T1-LB’s components from the Rogue Moon and Camper rebuilt the droid with a new holoprojector and a vocabulator. Elbee then proceeded to show them his holo recording of the masters conversation before his unhappy plummet. The victory was short-lived; a Twilek bounty hunter named Valius Ying captured their ship and brought Zayne to his masters in the Jed Tower. After a well done exposition scene, Lucian Draay (Zayne’s own master) killed Valius and moved in for the kill against his former pupil, planning to hunt down Zayne’s associates and silence them as well. Boom! The ceiling of the tower’s topmost room shattered and a towering figure in a red suite roared out a challenge to the stunned Jedi. It was the masters’ nightmare figure, clad in a space suite identical to the ones their late students had worn; it must be the Sith Lord. No it was Jarael, in fact. She quickly helped Zayne up onto the roof where Camper, Marn and Elbee waited in their ship. Like it or not, Zayne and his temperamental labor droid were stuck as outlaws.
A KotOR salvage droid like the one found poking around Revan’s escape pod on Taris. The droids utilize repulsorlifts and probably have various tools behind hidden panels. Sorry about the dark blue element, by the way.
Mark two assault droid from KotOR is one of my favorite droids. The droids us their long bludgeoning arms to whack opponents into submission. Some models, like to one found in some Tarisan Sewers, passes shield generators, the other place to find these is in the tomb of Marka Ragnos on Korriban. (By the way KotOR 1 and 2 got the Valley of the Dark Lords wrong.)
T3-M4 is the star droid of the K.o.t.O.R game series. Yes, he is supposed to have a blue “eye” but how am I supposed to make that? T3 was a custom built utility droid built by Twilek mechanic Janice Nall on the planet Taris. After being purchased by your K.o.t.O.R main character, T3 helps you escape Taris before Darth Malak bombards it from orbit. After that he just tags along on the rest of your adventures. When Jedi Revan (your character) left for the unknown regions T3 was left in charge of the starship ebon hawk. Five years later, at the beginning of K.o.t.O.R 2, T3 repairs the badly damaged ebon hawk and pilots it to the mining planet Peragus 2. This little R2-D2 inspired droid is instrumental in helping your character escape from the hostile mining facility and is very helpful throughout the rest of the quest, particularly on Nar Shadaa. I will take constructive criticism on this guy especially because he needs to be improved.
Here is one of my K.o.t.O.R battle droids, it’s a bit oversized but I like it. As far as I remember these droids are allied with the Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic. You encounter these guys on Kashyyk, Manaan, and Lehon(A..K.A Rakkata Prime). Please correct me if I am wrong. Like most other droids in these games, this quadruped can be fitted with special weapons like carbonite projectors and flame-throwers.Image compliments of Wookipedia.com.
Another of those K.o.t.O.R battle droids. This one legged terror is armed with a pair of blasters and a pair of bludgeoning claws built into its arms. As far as I remember this droid appears on the planets Taris, Manaan, and Lehon in K.o.t.O.R and on Dantooine in K.o.t.O.R 2. here it is crouching down to shoot  and here is my attempt at a red starforge battle droid.Thanks goes to Wookipedia.com for the reference picture.
Rakkatan droids are so much fun to fight by yourself. The first time these little rust buckets show up is on Dantooine and Lehon in Knights of the Old Republic. The unique droids were created by the reptilian, Rakkata as a part of their “Infinite Empire”. Several were still operational over thirty thousand years later when Revan arrived in the starmap temple near Vodo Siok Baas’ Jedi Academy. The droids put up good fight with their lasers, sharp legs, flamethrowers, and carbonite projectors, but the Jedi managed to defeat them and left on his legendary quest to find the starforge the Rakkata built ages ago. Near the journey’s end, when he reached the Rakkatan homeworld of Lehon, he encountered several more of the automatons in the Priest Tribe’s village. Note: The reference image is copied from Wookipedia.
I had already made the normal mining droid so I decided to add the Mark II version. Like the first, this unintelligent droid is armed with a mining laser, protective plating, and a linkage to the central control core on Peragus 2. The droid seems better equipped to clear away rubble than the smaller model so I assume that’s it’s function. Don’t kill me for the bad information, I haven’t played Knights of the Old Republic 2 in years.
Go-To is my second least favorite party member in all of K.o.t.O.R 2. He was the original droid intelligence for the Telos restoration project. Go-To decided that the project could not be accomplished within legal parameters so he ran away to Nar Shadaa, where he set himself up as the head of the Galaxys biggest crime empire, the Exchange. That is where the Jedi Exile finds him when she journeys to Nar Shadaa. After setting an army of bounty hunters after you and planting a bomb on your starship, Go-To has the nerve to join your party. Go-To makes an appearance near the games end on the Sith world of Malachor 5, where he fails to stop one of your companions from destroying the evil planet. Hopefully he perished and is gone for good.
REPLIES:
To JP. Huge super battle droids are B3 Ultra Battle Droids and are featured in the New Essential Guide to Droids and one of the early Clone Wars Adventures volumes. I don't have one. Yet.
