Supplied with a SyntheTech AA-1 Verbobrain, the 3P0 protocol droid is capable of storing huge amounts of information, enabling it to understand over six million forms of communication and respond in nearly all of them. It also has a tremendous capacity for analyzing previously unknown languages and translating them into whatever language its master desires. The 3P0 even includes an olfactory sensor for translating pheromonal communication. The 3P0’s additional memory storage is generally used to keep specific communication modes in active memory, avoiding lengthy delays while searching for linguistic information in mid-translation.
Each 3P0 comes with a factory-installed restraining bolt mount. They are also programmed for passive behavior—a typical 3P0 droid never attacks under any circumstances. If the droid becomes a problem, the 3P0’s shutdown switch is conveniently located at the back of its neck.
Built to resemble humanoids, 3P0’s come in a wide variety of colors.
3P0 Series protocol droids can be played as droid heroes.
