JK-13 Security Droid

The JK-13 security droid, unofficially known as the "Jedi Killer," is a JK-series security droid manufactured on the planet Ord Cestus. Appearance & Weaponry. The JK-13 is approximately chest-high and is divided into sections, giving it an insect-like appearance in its attack mode-so much so that the cave spiders, who used to rule Cestus, thought of them a natural enemy Its primary weapon is a set of stun tentacles extending from virtually every point on its body: these tentacles can be used to cut an opponent or deliver a disabling charge. Its primary defense is a deflector shield generator-like technology that allows it to absorb weapons fire before it even comes into contact with the droid itself.Like all Cestus Cybernetics droids of its period, the JK-13 is unusually ornate and flexible, with a golden finish and enormous articulation of its tentacles, which can become a fine strand or thicker rope or cable as needed.Bio Droid. The JK-13s are bio-droids: they use a living circuit design incorporating organics into the core processor, which is actually a life-support unit for a creature known as a dashta eel. Because the eels are Force-sensitive, they grant the droid some measure of precognitive abilities. This, in turn, grant it great combat ability. However, Dashta eels cannot kill another sentient being without going insane, meaning that the droids can never be deployed as general purpose combat units.Availability. They sell faster than they can be produced, and cost 80,000 credits. They are assembled by Clandes Industrial in the city of Clandes.

Circuitry (Trait). The construct has disadvantage on saving throws against effects that would deal ion or lightning damage.

Droid Encasement (Trait). Without its armor, the Dashta Eel has the following statistics: AC 12, hp 19 (3d8 + 6), Strength 8 (-1), and its speed becomes 15 feet. In addition, it has no attack actions. The Dashta Eel within the machine is a somewhat shapeless mass. When the JK-13 Security Droid is reduced to 0 hp, the droid armor breaks and the Dashta Eel exits it. Once out of its armor, the creature's pulpy mass no longer receives the benefits of the listed Damage Resistances.
