VX Series Artillery Droid
The VX series artillery droid is one of the oldest but most reliable military droid models in the galaxy. The earliest models of the VX series artillery droid date back thousands of years to the time when the Czerka Corporation began supplying the droids to both sides of the Jedi Civil War. Since that time, the technology behind the VX series has always been upgraded to stay with the times, but the basic design of the droid has remained the same. The VX series droid has been used in almost every major galactic conflict, and continues to be a favorite of militaries of all kinds.
VX series artillery droids can’t be played as droid heroes.
Droid Encounters
The VX series droid works best when it does not have to be on the front lines of a battle. As an artillery droid, the VX series droid can stay far behind any other combatants and unleash a rain of missiles down on its opponents. Artillery droids work well when teamed with military units (including soldiers and mercenaries), and can be particularly devastating against large groups of tightly clustered enemies. Despite their good Reflex Defense, artillery droids are vulnerable to close-range attacks (particularly melee attacks, since these droids have no weapons to make close-range attacks of their own) and are usually paired with allies that can keep their enemies at bay.
