Crab droids

Techno Union LM-432 Crad Droid "Muckracker" "Crab droids have a subpar targeting percentage, but deliver a profit of 48,000 per unit. They might no win the war, but they could save the Techno Union's fiscal quarter"'' -From the Techno Union's LM-432 risk assessment report.

Height: 1.49 meters (average) Weapons: Twin Blasters The Sepratists used droids for every battle field niche, from soldiers to engines of war.Techno Union factories produced eight sizes of crab droids, small ones for espionage and gargantuan monsters to destroy enemy fortifications. Most of these units were midsize series. The first batch of crab droids were deployed during the second battle of Jabiim, came equiped with insulated vacuum-pump systems inside their forward pump systems. These assemblies of tubes and spray nozzles could suck up mud and squirt it out, simultaneously clearind a path and clogging optical sensors of their enemies. This earned the crab droid the nickname of Muckracker, even though furure units lacked this vacuum feature. Instead, newer models boasted bubble wort projectors that could trap targets inside an energy sphere. Crab droids possess six armored limbs for easy movment in rocky terrain. Duranium teeth at the tips of its limbs allow it to scale near-vertical inclines. At the end of the Clone Wars the Empire seized the remaining crab droids from a factory on Tar Morden. The units eventually saw use in the stromtrooper trainig exercises.
