3PO-Series Protocol Droid

*Affiliations: General Units*

Supplied with a SyntheTech AA-1 Verbobrain, the 3PO Protocol Droid is capable of storing large amounts of information, enabling it to understand over six million forms of communication and respond in nearly all of them. It also has a tremendous capacity for analyzing previously unknown languages and translating them into whatever language its master desires. The 3PO even includes an olfactory sensor for translating phenomenal communication. The 3PO's additional memory storage is generally used to keep specific communication modes in active memory, avoiding lengthy delays while searching for linguistic information mid-translation.

Each 3PO comes with a factory-installed Restraining Bolt mount. They are also programmed for passive behavior- a typical 3PO droid never attacks under any circumstances. If the droid becomes a problem, the 3PO's shut down switch is conveniently located at the back of its neck.

Built to resemble humanoids, 3POs come in a variety of colors.

3PO-Series Droids can be played as Droid Heroes.
