The Basilisk War Droid is a towering 2.9-meter to 5-meter tall Combat Droid designed in ancient times and used by Mandalorian Crusaders as a formidable and ridable droid companion. It has two clawed powerful front legs and four smaller hind legs, with heavy armor, fore, and aft sensor clusters, and high-boost engines that allow them to operate effectively on the ground, in the air, or in the vacuum of space blurring the lines between droid and vehicle. The Basilisk's droid brain gave it a rudimentary, animal-like self-awareness of a semi-sentient degree. Although they could operate independently, most war droids often took the role of loyal mounts to direction-giving riders and had to be powered up or shut down in an eternal process that took seconds. A rider's control of a Basilisk War Droid is directly related to their skill in Piloting. They have a powerful array of armament, with the primary weapon - a cluster of shockwave generator rods that together could form a burst of plasma capable of ripping through starship hulls - residing on the nose.
Armament
1 shockwave generator rod cluster
2 laser cannons
1 pulse-wave cannon
2 shatter-missile launchers
This Basilisk War Droid has been equipped with a flamethrower attachment, allowing it to shoot a circular cone 5 meters long of superheated plasma.
This Basilisk War Droid has been reinforced with an experimental layer of additional armor plating, providing Basilisk War Droid unmatched durability compared to a standard Basilisk War Droid.
Basilisk War Droid has developed a predatory nature similar to those often associated with assassin droids. As a result, Basilisk War Droid will often approach a situation with the mind set of a hunter, and convey their findings as such. This can be disconcerting to others who are unaccustomed to Basilisk War Droid.
Basilisk War Droid has had every external component painted black as night, with attempts to minimize the brightness of external lights and features. This allows this Basilisk War Droid to more easily blend into the shadows and darkness unseen.
An improved sensor suite has been installed inside the droid brain of Basilisk War Droid, allowing a much wider scanning area than a standard Basilisk War Droid.
