Assassin Droid

The Assassin Droids were programmed with better sensors and vision than ordinary Battle Droids or Super Battle Droids. Equipped with powerful Sniper Rifles, they were sent out to pick off the leaders of the Republic's armies from a distance. Due to their secondary role as scouts, the Assassin droids were given Recon Droids which they could use to send information on enemy positions to the Trade Federation Control Ship and call in an Orbital strike. Sadly, as droids, they were not very good at adapting to the situation they were in, so were unlikely to use the sounds of bombardment to cover the sound of their shots, leading them to be easily picked off by the Republic Clone Sharpshooters
