3PO-series protocol droid



The 3PO-series protocol droid was a Human-cyborg relations protocol droid produced by Cybot Galactica. They were very similar to the TC-series, 3PX-series, and 5YQ-series protocol droids.

One of the most famous droids of this series was C-3PO, one of the heroes of the Rebel Alliance.

History
Manufactured by Cybot Galactica on the factory world of Affa, the 3PO-series protocol units were considered the most advanced Human-cyborg relations droids in the market for over a hundred years. Production on the line began at least as far back as 112 BBY and continued well into the New Republic era.

The success of the 3PO-series led Cybot Galactica to produce the C-series protocol droids during the rule of the New Republic.

Features
The typical 3PO-series droid stood at 1.7 meters in height with a humanoid build. Each droid was equipped with a SyntheTech AA-1 VerboBrain and a TranLang III Communications module. These protocol droids were fluent in over six million forms of communication. Some models, such as the pricey E-3POs, also included the TechSpan I module, making it possible to interface with Imperial networks and undocumented technologies of Imperial subcontractors.

Color variations
Droids in the 3PO-series came in a variety of colors:
 * Gold
 * Silver
 * White
 * Red
 * Black
 * Jade
 * Blue
 * Blue and gold
 * Green

It is very likely that there were more colors and color combinations.
