:: INTRODUCTION - Battle Droids While critics would be quick to point out a battle droid's mindlessness as a fault, the proponents of the mechanized soldiers would counter that it is instead a virtue. A mindless soldier is a loyal soldier, unquestioning of orders, easily controlled, and absolutely fearless. Battle droids are tall, gaunt humanoids with exposed joints and bone-white metal finishes that gives them an eerie resemblance to animated skeletons. Battle droid infantry is frightening in its uniformity – only a numerical marking on the back of a comlink booster pack serves to distinguish one droid from another. Battle droids are very efficient. Their humanoid builds allow them to operate machinery and pilot a wide variety of war craft designed for organic pilots. For the Trade Federation, the battle droid infantry piloted STAPs, MTTs, and AATs as well as their colossal battleships. For ease of storage and transportation, battle droids could compress into less than half their size. QUICK LINK: RECRUIT :: TROOPER :: HEAVY :: REPEATER :: ANTI AIR :: HEAVY AA :: GRENADER :: BOUNTY HUNTER

Attack Shields Range Trooper Recruit This is the basic ranged combat unit. The Recruit is armed with a basic weapon. This unit is much less effective than any other, making it an easy target for any mounted trooper. Recruits are very slow in moving and their aim is poor. Early in the game, Trooper recruits can cause great damage to enemy workers and are great for a Tech 1 rush.   7 0 3 HIT POINTS: 30 Troop Centre - Tech Standard       Trooper Stronger than the Trooper Recruit. This unit is a Tech level 2 must. It costs just as much as a Trooper Recruit, except for the upgrade cost.   8 0 3 HIT POINTS: 35 Troop Centre - Tech 2       Heavy Trooper Stronger than the standard trooper, the Heavy Trooper has better armour, range and attack. It's good in long range battles but suffers in close combat   9 0 3 HIT POINTS: 40 Troop Centre - Tech 3         Repeater Trooper Stronger than any other trooper. They are able to sustain rapid fire upon their enemies. These soldiers are a deadly killing force, with no easy way of stopping them (All tech game only)   6 0 4 HIT POINTS: 45 Troop Centre - Tech 4         Anti Air Anti Air troopers provide a good early defence against enemy air units. A great source of early defence against advanced enemies. Soon as an enemy hits Tech 3, watch out for Air attacks. Without anti-air troopers, you will be dead in the ground. Anti Air troopers are not very strong, so pack them in groups to be more effective.   13 0 6 HIT POINTS: 30 Troop Centre - Tech 2         Heavy Anti Air Packing two missiles, these units are more deadly than the basic anti air trooper. Again, they are more effective in groups and make a great defence in early stages of the game.   9 0 7 HIT POINTS: 35 Troop Centre - Tech 3       Grenader With explosive grenade blasts, this can help take out enemy mechs quickly. Weak against Troopers or mounted - but useful also in attacks on Turrets or structures.   1 1 6 HIT POINTS: 45 Troop Centre - Tech 2          Bounty Hunter Bounty Hunters are excellent at killing off any kind of enemy Jedi Knights or Masters. Built in the Fortress   15 2 7 HIT POINTS: 175 Fortress - Tech 3
