The Rebel Faction

The shuttle landed in the desert region of Karnak Alpha. The region desolate except for a lone C4 droid. Not the C4 droid, but one of the IDTech reproductions. The dust sprayed across the sky as the shuttle touched down, its hatch opening slowly. A small crew of technicians poured out of it, in tow, a large cargo box, printed on its side "C5".

"Is it ready out there?"

"Yup, facing the right way, lets get outta here. I dont wanna be around when it goes down"

"I hear that, activating thrust now, send them the message its ready"

In orbit a series of vidsats activated, scaning the planets surface as they zoomed in on each section of the desert, capturing images and sending them back to Reecee and Bonadan.

Sitting in his office, Raktus grinned at his veiw screen as he turned back to the face of Vinda on his holo. He was proud of his new contraption, and if all went well, maybe his new ally.

"Now watch this Seth..."

The image of the crate exploded in dust, and when it cleared the newest series of droid came to form.

And ready for its first test run...

"As you can see..."

A tactical display overode the showing as minor lines of data and pinpoints of the droid circled around and criss crossed the screne.

"C5 is a vast improvement on its previous model. While holding less of a stature and less outer armoring than its predocesor, it combines the added benifit of agility and speed.

The armor of C4 was a vong armor, while strong it could be very tempremental, not to mention the fact that most vong types would immediatly destroy any droid they were attached to. Thus the C5 is equiped with a Carbon-Neutronium shell, a material that combines the density of the diamond form of carbon with the strength of neutronium.

The C4 has an outdated positronic droid serving as its higher functions modulator, the C5 has its own dedicated Vibrobrain. You may remember these from the HRD projects.

C4's repulsars have been combined with an aeronautical design, allowing C5 to glide and hover without need of energy loss from a repulsar system.

A tiny holotransiever has been implanted into the droids abdomen, with this new technology C5 may interface with any droid or computer system from a distance and counter act/control any system it can slice.

and on the subject of new technologies, C5 incorporates the latest in nano-technologies, utilizing a self-repair module with which its systems will slowly repair themselves upon combat damage recieved.

These additions to the previous design make the C5 droid, the droid of the future, as Im sure you and your associates might be capable of seeing. With your permission Id like to begin combat testing for your inspection..."
