Legion Priority Target

There are certain things that go unnoticed across the breadth of life that is the galaxy. Things that people take as regular parts of the scenery and not worthy of their full attention. Repulsor sleds in traffic. A guy walking by with a clipboard. The random beggar on the street asking for a spare credit chit.

Non-military bots in the Galaxy’s Edge universe are seen the same way, with the servitor models being the most innocuous. Everyday people haul their bots on the job with them, the machines holding countless repair modules, wiring diagrams, and specialized tools within their housing. In echelons of society where high financed businessmen need to digitally ink deals with alien species, protocol and translator bots serve next to their masters and are seen as no different from an expensive link device with those AI applications loaded in. 

Servitor style robots even find their way into war zones, acting as military correspondents. These combat camera bots report the news as it happens, allowing the local affiliates and intergalactic news agencies to superimpose the likeness of their favorite anchor onto that of the bot. 

While most of these bots can be ignored by the average citizen—walked right by as if they were just a traffic light controlling which repulsor sleds can move through the intersection—there are those on the edge that use them specifically because they go ignored. 

Observation bots meant to watch a specific intersection for traffic jams can be fed algos to have them scan and recognize targets of opportunity for the cartels. A small servitor droid can work its way around a bazaar, offering lizard stick samples to passersby, all the while never cluing the crowd that he was Death, Destroyer of Worlds, the gunnery bot belonging to the infamous Tyrus Rechs.

Protocol droids accompanying an ambassador or state official can have state-of-the-art protection detail software added. These same sleeper security bots also have endoskeletons and drive motors far beyond the specs a typical protocol bot was ever meant to have. All so those willing to kill their protectee never knew the VIP was already well guarded.
