Assistant Series Droids

The Assistant Series droids brake a taboo that the galaxy has seem fit to impose on its self. That is these droids appear more humanoid then machine. In the past there had been droids designed to pass for humans or even other species and typically used as political replacements or assassins. These HRDs made use of bio-mechanical muscles and organs, cloned skin and other such devices to achieve this.

Starlight Star Drives Assistant Series aren't like those HRDs. Most models are based off of humanoid females, to help reduce the shock or any ill feelings of these droids. Their "skin" is a durable synthetic fiber mesh with a smooth finish that gives the droid the look of an organic body. While the goal is to make a "life like droid" clear evidence is left or even added stylishly to show that they really are in fact droids. no matter the model though they can be customized to look as close to biological or droids as the buys wants. They can be designed with "permanent clothing" or be sold as "nude" which would allow the buyer to cloth the droid as they saw fit with typical off the self cloths.

Their use is limitless, from acting as a caretaker for the elderly or new born, to a CEO's personal aid. Waitresses, bar droids, even tour guides, these droids can be used for just about anything out side of combat. Some are even special ordered for more "exotic needs", because of there life like behavior and movement.

Not Common knowledge

Because the Assistant Series hasn't been as successful as Starlight Star Drives would have liked, because of the taboo they are trying to brake, they hoped to make additional sales by offering combat variants of these droids to the black market and trusted VIP clients as unassuming body guards.

These versions are tougher and stronger then the original models without them appearing any different. Their limbs are hardened and the fiber mesh that's used for their skin, has durasteel weaved in to resist impacts, the smooth coating is also modified with substances that resist the extreme heat of blaster fire. If that wasn't enough protection

They are programmed with several martial arts, have hidden vibro-blades and are equipped with the B.A.T. series autonomous features of free thinking and innovation/improvisation, making them as adept, if not more so, then a biological being.
