BD-3000 luxury droid/Legends

The BD-3000 luxury droid was a versatile luxury attendant droid built by LeisureMech Enterprises.

It was programmed with a basic linguistic database and a respectable language processor, though its translation capabilities were not up to par with a dedicated protocol droid. Droids of this series were intended to be used in a number of roles, being equipped with over 25 secondary functions, ranging from the technical (repulsorlift pilot) to the mundane (cook and tailor). In addition, BD-3000s were programmed with extensive personality matrices, allowing for a variety of droid personality profiles. Sophisticated vocabulator systems allowed the model to project a large number of sounds and voices, including feminine presets described as "perky" and "sultry."

Onboard expansion slots allowed for user customization, with combat/bodyguard upgrades being common (although not strictly authorized). The droid's main selling point, however, was not its well-rounded feature set and broad capabilities. Rather, it was the droid's remarkable aesthetics&mdash;its sculpted curvature, gleaming torso, and gyro-stabilized gait.

Because of its intended market, BD-3000 models were priced expensively, at roughly 25,000 credits. Despite this price, sales were common, especially among the wealthy social "elite" of Coruscant who regarded the shiny droids as status symbols. Many senators were known to use the personal luxury droids as office aides, sometimes even bringing them to social functions, such as performances at the Galaxies Opera House.

After the fall of the Galactic Republic, BD-3000 droids become mostly unknown, thriving mainly in the criminal underworld where they often received radical modifications.
