Military Forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems - also known
like the Droid Army or Separatist Droid Army - consisted of
a large number of military equipment, battle droids, organic forces and
various military units.

The KNS was mainly controlled by representatives of large businesses, such
as Viceroy, Chairman of the Sen Banking Clan
Hill and Techno Union Chief Wat Tambor. They were not warriors or
generals, but merchants, interested more in profit than in
battle, and as a result, was not adapted to the command of troops on
battlefield. Of the entire political elite, only Count Dooku, Poggle
Lesser and Nute Gunray had at least some combat experience.
actions. However, among them reigned the conviction that the superior number and
the latest droid designs will ensure they win the Clone Wars. AT
in a sense they were right, because they were
good enough to deal with the Jedi, and through repeated
outnumbered, the KNS won many battles. However
the uselessness of some droids, such as the B1 battle droid, became
cause of many injuries.

The army consisted mainly of droids and was often referred to as the Army
droids. Various commercial organizations gathered under the flag
Confederation, by providing its own troops to the Separatist Army and
having received an extensive grouping of droids. The lineup was presented as
trade federation battle droids and security forces
Commerce Guild, Banking Clan and Corporate Alliance.

One of the largest groupings was provided by the Techno Union,
which not only allocated ready-made B2 super battle droids, but also launched
production of additional batches at their enterprises.
The rest of the allies were not slow to offer their help. Confederation
controlled countless worlds throughout and was able to join her army
many local armed formations. Nimbus Warriors with,
led by Alto Stratus, Isolation League,
defenders, separatists and many others helped the KNS
and fought with. Many
of these troops were not made up of droids, but of sentient beings. Being in
mainly a droid army, the Separatist army had in its composition and
organic beings. Gossam Commandos, Corporative Soldiers
alliance and other warriors used their own
tactics. Unlike droids, these soldiers had independent minds and
were able to effectively resist even the Republican.

Between organics and automation - in the literal sense - there was one
creature: General Grievous, Supreme Commander of the Droid Army.
A cyborg with a brilliant tactician mind and a powerful armored body, Grievous
fought for the glory of the Confederacy. He led his troops to many victories
throughout the galaxy, among which was the conquest and destruction
Humbarina, attacks on strategically important worlds and a swift attack on . He also pursued the Jedi Knights,
created serious problems armies of droids, and killed many of them on
fights. The power of Grievous over the troops was absolute, each of his
the order was carried out with a half-word. One thing made his fighting style unique.
and gave an advantage over opponents: the use of lightsabers.
With this ability, he could crush anyone standing in his way,
leading to countless KNS victories.

The separatist army did not consist exclusively of single warriors. In
During the Clone Wars, a lot of military equipment appeared. Habitual participants
battles were OG-9 missile spider robots of the Commerce Guild,
HP-H99 Pursuit-class tank droids, Manta starfighter droids, and
AAT assault tanks. Even more massive machines were used: the protodeca,

Introduction

Droids- these are robots invented by George Lucas, which were used in the fictional world of the famous director (see Star Wars). The word droid itself was formed from another name for robots in science fiction literature - android (humanoid, translated from Greek). AT English language an is a form of the indefinite article, which caused the reduction of the word. Although only humanoid robots are properly called androids, the word "droid" in the world of Star Wars means a robot in general. Droids were used and how military force and as helpers. Below are the following types of droids.


1 Battle Droids

1.1. Separatist battle droids B1

Battle droids.

Separatist battle droids B1- standard droids, used as the main troops of the Trade Federation, and after it joined the Confederation of Independent Systems (CIS), they became the basis of the Separatist Droid Army. Armament consisted of a blaster rifle and a pistol, as well as a thermal detonator. Used in the Battle of Naboo, and lost due to control failure. After the Battle of Naboo, the Senate decided to ban the construction of battle droids and the development of droid technology. But the Trade Federation moved their production to distant planets that were not part of the Republic. There, the droid model was improved. The main combat tactic of droids is to take on numbers, as a single droid was a very weak opponent due to its lack of combat experience and dependence on the control computer.

In addition to B1 soldiers, there were also:

  • Commander droids who coordinated the actions of the privates. They had yellow circles on their foreheads and chests and received orders from the central computer processors via priority channels.
  • Guards (red) - can be distinguished by the red coloration of their shoulders and a small horizontal stripe above the abdomen.
  • Pilots who operated equipment and warships. They had blue circles.
  • Paratroopers (green circles). Used in capture spaceships.

Following the execution of Order 66, Emperor Palpatine ordered them to be disabled, along with all other Separatist droids.


1.2. B2 super battle droids

Four super battle droids attack.

B2 super battle droids- Before the start of the Clone Wars, new systems joined the Separatists, and one of them provided the Separatists with new droids. These models were baptized by fire in the battle of Geonosis.

The droid was armed with a hand blaster, a triple blaster, and a hand-held rocket launcher. Also, the super droid could fight in hand-to-hand combat using its strong arms. The Techno Union that created the droid also gave him a more advanced artificial intelligence, allowing him to act independently. In terms of its combat qualities, it was much stronger than the B1, but it took much longer to build and was more expensive. That is why the B2-series droids did not become the main fighting force of the CIS. There were various modifications of the droid for various combat conditions. After the execution of order 66 were disabled. Part of the super droids went to criminal gangs, who continued to use them for protection.


1.3. Droideks

Droideka at the Battle of Geonosis

Droideks (Destroyer Droids)- A type of battle droid of the Trade Federation and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. During the Clone Wars, they earned a reputation as the most dangerous droid, wielding fast-firing twin blaster automata and a shield generator that deflected or absorbed all kinds of energy blasts, up to light cannon fire, and also made it possible to counter attacks from lightsabers and melee weapons. They also had the ability to fold into a ball for accelerated movement. Like the B2 super battle droids, they operated independently of control stations. Droidekas saw action in many battles of the Clone Wars, usually as part of small squads, and also served as security guards in various Separatist installations. The Jedi very rarely engaged them in combat, preferring to run away. Emperor Palpatine disabled them after the execution of Order 66. After the end of the Clone Wars, many droidekas fell into the hands of smugglers and criminal gangs, who continued to use them for their intended purpose. They also appear in addition to " Star Wars: Empire at War.


1.4. MagnaGuards (Magnadroids)

MagnaGuard

MagnaGuardians- Elite troops developed towards the end of the Clone Wars. The weapon used by the MagnaGuardians was a special electric staff made from Freak, a material that can resist a lightsaber. Other weapons could also be used, such as a rocket launcher, a rifle. The MagnaGuards were known to be fearsome assassins, able to make short work of clones with ease. Grand Army Republic, and with the Jedi themselves. They were considered one of the most dangerous droids in the Confederacy. They were used to guard the Separatist leaders from the Jedi - MagnaGuards did not know how to handle a blaster, their staffs did not beat off blaster beams, so they were useless in a big battle. After the destruction of the Jedi, they were turned off as unnecessary and replaced with the Knights of the Empire. Also, several MagnaGuards were the personal bodyguards of General Grievous.


1.5. Saboteur droids

Saboteur Droid

Saboteur droids (commando droids) - elite droids of the CIS army, used during the years of the Clone Wars. They are mainly adapted for sabotage, assassinations and stealth penetrations into classified objects.

Saboteur droids were upgraded versions of the standard B1 battle droids. In addition to improved armor, which could successfully withstand most standard clone blasters, saboteur droids have improved artificial intelligence that is independent of the control station and can think creatively and analyze the situation on the battlefield. The vocabulator of these droids can speak in the voices of various species and races, as well as clones. However, they vocabulary too small and specific, so that they can be quickly exposed. The armament of the rank and file was the E-5 blaster rifle. Saboteur droid unit leaders can carry vibroswords for hand-to-hand combat. In addition, saboteur droids possess not only long-range and short-range weapons, but also hand-to-hand combat skills. Thanks to their movable limbs, their strikes are precise and deadly. The only drawback of these droids was their high price, so during the Clone Wars they were used only in special operations.


1.6. tactical droid

tactical droid

tactical droid- a model of a battle droid created by the CIS engineers during the Clone Wars to control the troops.

With the onset of the Clone Wars, the CIS had a need for a new type of battle droid capable of commanding conventional droids in both ground and space battles. The result of the work of engineers and scientists of the CIS was a tactical droid - the size of a B2 super battle droid, while possessing outstanding knowledge in the field of strategy and tactics.

With some individuality, tactical droids can analyze and evaluate the situation on the battlefield, even giving orders to destroy their own combat units if necessary, if this will help to tip the balance in the battle to the side of the Separatists.

During the Clone Wars, tactical droids controlled warships and Separatist combat units.


1.7. Dwarf Spider Droid

spider droid

Dwarf Spider Droid is a battle droid manufactured by the Merchants Guild for the Separatist army.

The functions of this droid are similar to those of a conventional combat vehicle. During the Clone Wars, dwarf spider droids were used on the front lines as the vanguard of battle droid squads and other Separatist droids. Infrared photoreceptors and powerful scanners allow the droid to study its surroundings and relay target data to the homing spider droid. The droid's main weapon is a blaster cannon mounted on its "face" like a nose. Its small size and four legs, capable of moving on any surface, make it suitable for use in hazardous mines. However, due to the fact that his laser cannon is fixed in one position, he cannot deploy it to track the enemy, and thus is not well suited to taking out fast moving targets. It is also equipped with a self-destruct mechanism. During the war, several different models of the dwarf spider droid were used, including an amphibious model equipped with a more powerful weapon, and two more heavily armed models: a heavy dwarf spider droid and a modified dwarf spider droid. This type of droid saw action during the Clone Wars. One of them was the battle for Kashyyyk, where they were used against the Republican units of AT-RT.


1.8. Droid crab LM-432

Droid crab LM-432

Droid crab LM-432- was developed already during the conflict.

The crab droid project is based on an automaton that uses numerous supports as a chassis, allowing you to move with ease on any surface. The large front legs of the crab droid are equipped with heavy duranium stabilizers and heavy-duty claws that cut freely into the surface, providing solid stability. The remaining four legs are equipped with tongs designed to grip an object or provide additional stability. Powered by powerful servo motors that move its legs, the heavily armored crab moves with decent speed and agility over uneven terrain and even over rocky surfaces.

The small body of the LM-432 accommodates a complete set of droid units: a central processing unit, sensor systems, a targeting computer, as well as photoreceptors and a communication system. The droid's armor, which covers part of the body and legs, is an expensive alloy of ceramic and durasteel known as armoplast, thanks to which a blaster shot can be deflected.

In addition to powerful leg pincers, the LM-432 is armed with a dual blaster. Originally used in conflicts on swamp worlds, the droid's front legs are equipped with vacuum pumps that suck up swamp mud, clearing space and trails for Separatist forces, earning them the nickname "Muckracker" or Vacuum Cleaner.

However, such a powerful machine also has its drawbacks, in particular the red optical sensor located almost in the center of its “belly” and behind it between its “legs”. With repeated damage to this sensor, even from blasters, they can disable the robot. This Achilles' heel was found in Star Wars: Republic Commando.

After the end of the Clone Wars, the crab droids, like the rest of the droids, were deactivated. Some of them ended up in the Imperial Academy on Karida, where they were used in training centers. The six-legged crab droid design was later used in early designs for the MT-AT walker.


1.9. Vulture Droid

A pre-clone war droid. This droid was first used on Trade Federation blockade ships. Could transform from a huge infantry droid to a fighter droid. Armed with two laser cannons and a rocket launcher for 4 rockets. Could be produced from a special block in the amount of 5 pieces.

1.10. Battle tri-droid Octuptarra

Octupara battle droid

Octaptarr battle droids were combat automata used by the Techno Union and the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. The droids got their name "Octaptarra" after the eight-eyed, gas-sac-headed, stem-like creature from the world of Skako, and the "tri-droids" became the most common and common name.

Three-legged spider-like automata had a large spherical head impaled on subtle body. Below the head, the body was armed with laser turrets. The droid's standard armament consisted of three laser turrets, evenly spaced on each side, below the photoreceptors. The height of the droid, moving on three zigzag, divided supports, was 3.6 meters. The tri-droids saw their first combat use in the Battle of Coruscant, as the advanced ground troops of the Separatists.

It was almost impossible to get close to the droid without being noticed, since the photoreceptors, located on different sides, gave a circular view of the panorama of the area, and the articulated rotating block allowed the tri-droids to immediately open fire when they suddenly collided with the enemy, which made them a difficult and dangerous target. The droid's Octaptarr was most effective at a distance, as its armament and height allows it to fire at long ranges, but if the enemy got close, the droid became vulnerable, since the armament did not allow close fire, and the tri-droid's large head became too tempting a target .

This tactic was widely used by clone troopers on early stages Clone Wars. But the Separatists, in response, began to use biological weapons that affected the genome of the clone soldiers. The voids in the droid's spherical head began to fill with a gaseous virus, which was released if the droid was destroyed, which became effective tool against organic Republic troops. The viral variants were called "viral droids". An example of the scale-modular production technology of the Techno Union and the development of tactics of combat and use are the different versions of the Octaptarr models that appeared during the Clone Wars - large artillery pieces that served as artillery used in the Battle of Midgeto, and small versions designed to deal with enemy manpower, lost in size, but won in agility, used in the Battle of Utapau. After the end of the Clone Wars, the Octaptarr droids, like the rest of the Separatist droid troops, were disabled. However, the local population of Ubeze on the planet Uba IV, where they were made, continued to use them as battle droids.


1.11. Buzz droid

Buzz droid

Buzz droids- used by the CIS in space battles against the Galactic Republic. Measuring about 0.25 meters in diameter and heavily armed, they were typically launched by missiles fired from a tri-fighter or a vulture droid. Tactically, the buzz droids were used in large numbers and swooped down on the fighters like a swarm of insects, knocking out the control systems. The sawy droids were designed to damage the starfighter, not completely destroy it. They were used so effectively by tri-fighters that the Confederacy of Independent Systems upgraded the vulture droids to carry them as well.

The saw droids were equipped with simple jet thrusters to aid them in their locomotion. The outer shell was coated with an alloy that dissipated heat and allowed them to penetrate enemy shields; in addition, it was made of shock-absorbing material. They communicated with each other with the help of squeaks, hisses and crackles. For each mission, the weaponry of saw droids varied, but the following were generally used: drill heads, plasma cutters, circular saws, tweezers. The droid's sensors were equipped with X-ray machines and various filters to detect the ship's vital systems. Darth Sidious provided saw droid makers with Republic starfighter blueprints to maximize the effectiveness of the droids.

Following the execution of Order 66, the saw droids were deactivated. Millions of droids were left idle. These droids were next seen fighting alongside Tiber Zann during the Galactic Civil War. These droids were used by Zann to disable enemy ships' combat systems.


1.12. NK-47

A unique protocol assassin droid designed by the Sith Lord Revan from KotOR1. Revan personally programmed and assembled the HK-47, in particular after HK called Darth Malak a "meatbag", Revan had HK refer to everyone as such. At the height of the war, the droid was sent on a mission. but could not return. Visited many owners and then was bought by Revan, whose memory was erased by the Jedi at that time. After the events of the first game, he went to the Exile, with whom he cleared the galaxy of his pirated copies - HK-50 and HK-51.


2 Civilian Droids

Along with the combat models of the droids, the galaxy also used a variety of droids used in a variety of peaceful areas of life.

2.1. Scout Droids

Scout Droids- special imperial scout droids that were sent to different parts of the galaxy to locate the rebel base. Equipped with a light blaster, an interplanetary communication system, all possible and impossible sensors (the droid even had a sense of smell) special mechanical arms that were used to take samples different items and a self-destruct system. They were able to function for decades; many of them outlived the Empire but continued to carry out their task.


2.2. Helper droids

Protocol Droids- were used to record and store verbal information, as well as translate the languages ​​​​of other peoples and squeak astromech droids into the language of the owner. An example is the well-known C-3PO.

2.3. Astromech Droids

Astromech droids

Astromech Droids- small droids, painted in various colors used to service heavy equipment, spacecraft, as well as control computer systems. Usually equipped with various kinds of instruments and sensors, but the droid R2-D2, one of the characters in the film, is also equipped with rocket engines, a slot for storing memory cards, a holographic player, a small circular saw, an electric shock (with which he broke the droid's eye at the beginning of episode 3), and with a small magnetic suction cup (he tore off C-3PO's head from the droid and attached it to his own body). Astrodroids help in piloting fighters, and on enemy ships and bases they are simply irreplaceable due to the ability to computer systems management. In the Old Republic, Astromechs were usually brown with good knowledge computer. Unique was the hand-built T3-M4 droid, made on Taris by a droid saleswoman and later bought by Revan and owned by Darth Treya, the Jedi Exile, and the other owners of the Ebon Hawk.

home planet: It is different where there is a factory

Race: Missing

Weapon: Miscellaneous, mainly blasters and vibroswords

Battle droid army- troops of the CNS (Confederation of Independent Systems). Unlike clones of the Republic, droids are not creative thinkers, and as a result, they are unable to perceive the experience gained in battle. Their production costs a lot of money, but this is offset by the speed of construction. Comparing the two armies, KNF droids are not as effective as Republic clones, but are much cheaper (compared to the latter) and there are more of them. Droids are divided into several "species":

1. Battle droidsB1 - the main forces of the CIS, cheaper than super battle droids, but less effective than the latter. The droid has no brain, and it fits a little more in its head than in a large and sensitive receiving device. It is thanks to him that the droid receives commands from the Droid Control Station. Small processors are responsible for the movements and some of the sensory data they transmit to the central computer. The voice generator allows the droid to speak in a monotonous mechanical voice. There are several B1 droids:

1-1. B1 no difference - beige- standard battle droid. Armed with a rifle, a pistol, and a thermal detonator.

1-2. B1 with blue circles- A mechanic droid whose main task is the maintenance of equipment and its piloting.

1-3. B1 with green circles - landing.

1-4. B1 with yellow marks - commanding squad.

1-5. B1 with red stripes on the shoulders and chest - security droid. Protects various KNS facilities.

In addition to improved armor, which could successfully withstand most standard clone blasters, saboteur droids have improved artificial intelligence that is independent of the control station and can think creatively and analyze the situation on the battlefield. The voice generator of these droids allows you to play different tones of sounds, creating different voices of many species and races, as well as clones. However, their vocabulary is too small and specific, so that they can be quickly exposed. The armament of the rank and file was a rifle and vibroswords. In addition, saboteur droids possess not only ranged and melee weapons, but also have skills in hand-to-hand combat. Thanks to their movable limbs, their strikes are precise and deadly.

5. Droidek (Destroyer Droid)- A combat type of droid used by the Trade Federation and the CIS. Droidekas, during the Clone Wars, gained a reputation for being deadly creatures that even the Jedi feared. They were valued for their versatility and firepower. Destroyer droids saw action in many battles of the Clone Wars, usually as part of small squads, and also served as security guards in various Separatist installations. Droideks outperformed B1 battle droids in several ways. They could fold into a cylindrical shape, resembling a wheel, and due to this, move quickly. When faced with danger, the droids deployed into a three-legged structure, equipped with two twin blasters and usually a shield generator that could deflect or absorb any kind of energy blast, up to light cannon blasts, as well as counteract lightsaber attacks. In addition, the effectiveness of the Destroyer Droids was provided by an extended range of vision sensors that were not affected by tricks with light. Despite being formidably equipped, Droidek had a significant drawback: his shield was designed to defend in an upright position. If the droid fell on its side or hit a wall,

Ahsoka and Anakin fend off the droideka attack
the defenses couldn't distinguish the obstacles from lightsaber strikes or blaster shots. Because of this, the generator continued to power the shield and burned out, leaving the robot vulnerable. A burned out generator left the Destroyer defenseless. Also, the Protective Field was not included in the wheel configuration. Droidek had difficulty moving down inclines and up stairs. To do this, he had to unfold and begin the descent or ascent, which made it difficult to coordinate his legs.

This droid's weapon was a special electric staff made from Freak, a material that can resist a lightsaber. MagnaGuard could also use the B1 droid rocket launcher or rifle. They were known to be formidable assassins, capable of taking down both clones of the Republic and the Jedi themselves with ease. The magnadroid was one of the most dangerous droids in the Confederacy. They were used as a guard for the Separatist leaders from the Jedi. Their staves didn't deflect blaster shots, so they were useless in a big fight.

7. Droid Octuptarra- actively used during the Clone Wars by the Techno Union and the CIS. Three-legged spider-like automata had a large spherical head mounted on a thin body. Below the head, laser cannons were mounted. The droid's standard armament consisted of three laser turrets, evenly spaced on each side, below the photoreceptors. The height of the droid, moving on three zigzag, divided supports, was 3.6 meters. The droid was nearly impossible to approach unnoticed, as the photoreceptors located on different sides gave a panoramic view of the area, and the articulated rotating block allowed them to immediately open fire in case of a sudden collision with the enemy, which made them a difficult and dangerous target. The Octuptarr droid was most effective at a distance, as its armament and growth allows it to fire at long ranges, but if the enemy got close, the droid became vulnerable, since the weaponry did not allow close fire, and the large head was poorly protected from dense fire from side of the enemy.

In English, an is a form of the indefinite article, which caused the reduction of the word.

Although only humanoid robots are properly called androids, the word "droid" in the world of Star Wars means a robot in general. Droids were used and how military force and as helpers.
