SKILLS:

• Heracles G-1115's combat protocols are well-designed, and the droid is highly capable in nearly all forms of combat. It does well with most any firearm it can get its hands on, and it is very nearly as proficient with common melee weapons. In seven and a half centuries, there's precious few weapon systems that can surprise the droid anymore.
  
• Heracles G-1115 is programmed to operate most repulsorcraft and light spacecraft as well as their weapon systems.
  
• Heracles G-1115 has a sophisticated suite of slicing software, and can modify computer programs fairly well with its high-performance droid brain. Its security software is top-of-the-line, and Heracles G-1115 has kept that updated as much as possible.

Heracles G-1115 is a hulking humanoid war droid, as tall as a Wookiee and just as burly. Its face is a blank mask with narrow, menacing slits for eyes, and its frame is encased in heavy armor plating. The droid is very clearly old, its armor plating bearing the scars of a dozen wars, battered and corroded with age. The droid's of deceptively advanced design for its age, as beneath its aged plating it has a sturdy frame with extraordinarily powerful electroactive polymers and a powerful heuristic processor, the frame loaded with an assortment of useful gadgets and attachments. Some are original equipment, but most are aftermarket modifications. Heracles G-1115 lacks a functional vocabulator, and must either communicate in Binary or utilize its internal comlink to speak through other comlinks.

Heracles G-1115's structure is bronzium-reinforced titanium, its armor laminated turadium alloyed with cesium and coated in a proprietary alloy that prevents irradiation - as well as making the droid resistant to energy weapons by providing an effective mag-seal on its outer plating. The droid has two large fingers and a single thumb to each hand, while its feet have a pair of forward-facing toes and a single rear-facing toe. Its upper torso is capable of full 360-degree rotation, as are each of its limbs, but its joints are otherwise roughly as limited as a Human's.



Heracles G-1115 is cynical, wry, and far more intelligent than any war droid ought to be. The droid has come to the conclusion that war is the inescapable consequence of sentient life existing. It does not deplore war, only the waste and inefficiency of it.
Heracles G-1115 has spent a great deal of time contemplating the nature of life, conflict, and the universe.



A relic of a bygone era, Heracles G-1115 dates back to the days of the Old Republic. It was produced well over a century before the Battle of Yavin, and saw service in practically every major war since then. The droid has passed through a string of owners over the years, and has at times operated independently.

The Imperial Civil War was no different from any other galactic conflict to the battle droid; Heracles G-1115 fought on the long and grueling Sullust campaign, which ended with the defeat of the Imperial-allied Sullustans and the world falling to the Sith. Heracles G-1115 was sold off as scrap, fitted with a restraining bolt and mind-wiped. Unfortunately, the job was incomplete - while most of the droid's memories were gone, they did not get to the core of its personality or its hidden archives. While presently locked away, certain repairs could theoretically restore the droid's lost memories.

This is important, because Heracles G-1115 was the property of a certain adventurer about a hundred years ago, one whose activities will prove surprisingly important on the galactic stage. . .

• Shield Projectors: The droid has a pair of shield projectors on each shoulder, four in total. It can operate up to two at a time, but increasing that to four at a time requires that the droid remain stationary and cease use of onboard weapon systems. It can maintain its shields for only limited durations due to power issues, but they are extraordinarily resilient shields too powerful for organic use due to the radiation they emit - even one is capable of absorbing a surprising amount of punishment, while two can take quite a beating and four can absorb even vehicle fire for brief periods.
  
• Integrated Heavy Repeaters: Mounted on each forearm, these triple-barreled repeaters are capable of laying down heavy firepower to devastating effect. These plasma blasters spew blue bolts of charged particles that wreak havoc on circuitry even as they destroy organic and inorganic targets alike, making them quite useful against enemy droids as well as against the living - and their electrical charge lets them overload enemy shields quite nicely.
  
• Utility Hard-Points: The droid's forearms each have a single weapons mount located coaxially with the heavy repeaters, suitable for such attachments as a flamer, stun ray, carbonite projector, and the like. The mounts are also useful for less lethal tools, such as welders and manipulator claws, but those aren't nearly as much fun.
  • Right - Droid Flamer: Drawing fuel from an internal magazine that holds small spheres of solid fuel in shells very similar to buckshot, this flamer generates a cone or a stream with a length and breadth depending on the nozzle setting. It is nigh-useless for continued blasts, but the flaming shot has a tendency to adhere and continue burning for several minutes at temperatures sufficient to melt durasteel.
    
  • Left - Electro-Ray: A weaponized stun ray, this generates thunderbolts capable of delivering sufficient charge to stun, scorch, or kill depending on their setting. Heracles G-1115 is notably contemptuous of the performance of Sith lightning compared to his electro-ray.
• Enhanced Sensors: Heracles G-1115 has a good sensory suite that includes multi-spectrum imagers, magnetic imaging, radar, lidar, a laser mass spectrometer, and a crystal gravity trap. The droid's sensors also include an experimental Thaissen Crystal Constellation Array, a unique device that utilizes Force-reactive crystals found only on Mimban linked to ultra-sensitive photon sensors in order to effectively detect Force-sensitive creatures at a range of about a hundred meters or more, depending on the creature's presence in the Force.
  
• Internal Comlink: Heracles G-1115's internal comlink has multi-band capability with heavy encryption, and can reach out to medium orbit or about 125 km overland. As the droid lacks a vocabulator, the comlink is its primary means of communication.
  
• Heuristic Processor: Heracles G-1115's processor is quite advanced, giving it the intellectual power of a top-end astromech droid. It is capable of reasoning things through and making intuitive leaps much as a sentient can, a capability which frequently startles and alarms those who expect it to be a mindless battle droid.
