Mark VII “Inquisitor” Series Seeker Droid
The seeker droid is a type of surveillance droid designed not only to locate its assigned target. but to neutralize or destroy it. The Mark VII, for instance, is programmed to utilize special tactics to hunt down and either interrogate, kill, or return its target.
The Mark VII will typically follow its target from a distance, making sure to stay out of sight. The droid usually records its target’s movements and conversations and attempts to predict a suitable time and place to move in and ruthlessly complete its task. If the job involves killing its quarry, it will do so without hesitation. Otherwise, the droid will force the prisoner to a safe location at gunpoint, probably to commence its interrogation.
A spherical droid roughly 0.2 meters in diameter, the “Inquisitor” model is perfectly sized for its purpose. Despite its petite size, the droid packs a wide array of sensors and recording devices to carry out its task as well as an advanced data probe that permits it to interface with virtually any computer system (granting a +2 bonus to its Use Computer checks) and two blasters in case it decides to do away with its prey.
Mark VII Inquisitor series seeker droids can’t be played as droid heroes.
