OGG Publisher's Office: Now handling requests and complaints

[Sol Walker]

Given that Zann was the only one who used them, you cant just ignore him. Besides, they only appear in EaW, as one of his units. No where else.
If you're going to write a canon grade article, you have to at least tie it to its source material.

This droid apparently never saw action during the Clone Wars. However, the Zann Consortium discovered these in a factory on Hypori that Jabba the Hutt had taken interest in. Tyber Zann built up an invasion force after Urai Fen had gone ahead to scout and personally landed near the factory. Zann and Fen didn't travel far before droideka Mark IIs were found and started firing upon them. Urai managed to make it to the console and switch the droid production machines to manual, shutting off the droids.

Makes it pretty clear that the droidekas were Clone Wars leftovers, and not Zann creations

Also, since EaW happens between hoth and endor, one must also point out that part of the reason Zann found them was due to the empire being knocked down.

I'd suggest that if we're making an article about this particular model, to have canon and fanon disambiguation.  

[ElladanKenet]

Okay, so I'll add a paragraph at the end noting this...

The next stage in making Republic soldiers s**t in their pants.

The Q-series Droideka was bad enough, with it's repeating blasters and energy shield, allowing it to stand up against basically anything except heavy artillery, and resourceful suicidals. Of course, it has it's flaws, like any battle droid.

Most of these were rectified. The Mark II is consideably larger than the Q, P, or W series, and has heavier, sturdier body. It can still roll around like no tommorow, and has an added fourth leg for increaed stability and mobility when deployed.

The shield is of course stronger, able to take more and stronger hits. Additionally, the droideka features a third set of twin blasters, with the two original ones now being in a tighter position. While it does make it more difficult to aim far away and adjust, it has less of a forward blind spot, and more forward firepower.

Most impressive of all is the fact that it can switch it's blasters to a secondary mode: ion cannons. As if shredding infantry were bad enough, now it can disable other hardware with ease. These cannons are located at the head (3) and down at the base (2). The other four on the arms are blasters.

If you want to kill one, your best bet are explosives: grenades and rocket launchers.

Best thing about it? The CIS can build them for the same price as the Q-series in 22 BBY. Ouch.

Fanon Info
~~~~~~~~~
In Canon, the Droideka II wasn't discovered until 3 ABY, on Hypori by the Zann Consortium. The CIS had apparantly started producing the droids, but never got the chance to release them. Zann got ahold of them, and used them himself.

In the Galaxy Divided universe, the CIS is still alive and well long after 19 BBY. The Droideka II was being tested just as the armistice was agreed upon, and is due to be brought to the battlefront by late 9 BBY. No differences between fanon and canon in the droid's stats.

Better?

Inquiry: Being 3000+ meters long (I'm guessing in circumference), does the CIS-era Lucrehulk warrant as a Heavy Destroyer or a Star Cruiser?

Statement: The Subjugator-class Heavy Cruiser is a Star Cruiser  

[Sol Walker]

Its a converted freighter. I would argue calling it a Bulk Cruiser.  

[ElladanKenet]

So in that case you stick with original designations?

Or would the CIS-variant have it's own designation?  

[Sol Walker]

Go with the origional designation to avoid confusion.  

[ElladanKenet]

Alright

So are those two droid entries good to go?
