ASN-121 Assassin Droid

*Reference Book: Star Wars Saga Edition Threats of the Galaxy*

*Affiliations: The Fringe*

One of the deadliest Assassin Droids is the dreaded ASN-121. In addition to being fast and maneuverable, the ASN-121 is intelligent enough to understand and execute a wide variety of attack strategies, while also being flexible enough to alter its strategies if circumstances change. Its versatile weapons and equipment and the added flexibility of being able to carry grenades, deadly animals such as Kouhuns, and other small cargo makes it suitable for many types of assassination attempts.

In addition, these Droids can emit jamming beams that make them invisible both to security scans and to other Droids, allowing them to remain unseen in the cities of The Core Worlds and the palaces of the rich and powerful. An active ASN-121 Droid can be noticed only by vigilant living guards.

These Droids were originally developed for use by intelligence agencies for both assassination and gathering covert intelligence. However, they are now primarily used by freelance assassins, and most are produced in illegal Droid factories.

### ASN-121 Assassin Droid Encounters

ASN-121 Droids are rarely seen except when they are sent on missions. The sight of an ASN-121 Droid always means that trouble is near, and usually means that an attempt will be made on someone's life very shortly. Older and more experienced units often become more of an equal partner than a servant to the assassin who owns them, and units fitted with a Vocabulator are frequently capable of helping their owner formulate plans for an assassination. ASN-121 Droids that become independent often set themselves up as especially discreet freelance assassins.

In addition, a few wealthy criminals purchase ASN-121 Droids to foil assassinations or other attacks. Some crime bosses keep one of these units close by and order it to kill anyone who threatens them.

ASN-121 Assassin Droids can't be played as Droid Heroes.
