✨
A rolling spherical astromech and 3rd-level techcaster — no fighter, but a toolbox of utility powers and a weak shockprod.

How to run itKeep it back casting support powers like target lock, repair droid, and expeditious retreat; only jab with the shockprod when cornered.

The BB series astromech droid was a model of astromech droid manufactured by Industrial Automaton and active during the era of the cold war, featuring a spherical body that allowed the droid to roll in any direction, with a head usually atop the body but not meant to be permanently physically attached to it (which would inhibit the droid's ability to roll around). Like earlier astromechs, the BB unit could fit into the droid socket of a starfighter.
