SP-4 analysis droid/Legends

The SP-4 analysis droid was an analysis droid model that was used to provide analysis assistance to organic beings. The Jedi Archives employed at least one SP-4 to aid Jedi with mysteries they could not solve.

Characteristics


The SP-4 was built by Cybot Galactica and stood 1.46 meters tall. The droid was built on the same chassis and used many of the same parts that were used in the cheaper PK-series worker droid. The models that were used in the Jedi Temple were upgraded with sensory apparatus and behavioral circuitry matrices, far beyond the capacities of the PK, and worked best with JN-66 analysis droids. The SP-4 was designed to have more intelligence than the average worker droid; this was supplemented by a wireless tie in to computers of the Jedi Archives, giving it the knowledge of millennia of Jedi exploration. SP-4 was also equipped with a mouth-stalk like vocoder that allowed it to communicate with organic beings, which suggested that a Pa'lowick might have had a hand in designing the droid. The SP-4 could wirelessly access any mainframe data libraries, such as the Jedi Archives on Coruscant, analyze reams of data, and then come to a single conclusion rather quickly. In a normal case, such as a shooting, the SP-4 droids would look at weapon discharge patterns, weather reports from the day of the crime, biological records of the victim's species, and a geometrical triangulation of firing angles before fingering a likely subject. Critics of the SP-4 said that the droids were incapable of making the thinking jumps needed to solve a more difficult case.

History
At least one was used in the Jedi Temple, and it tried to help Obi-Wan Kenobi in analyzing a Kaminoan saberdart, but was unsuccessful.

The Confederacy of Independent Systems employed SP-4 droids with repulsorlifts instead of legs on Boz Pity. These droids analyzed the healing progress of Asajj Ventress during her cybernetic transformation.
