Droids (Star Wars)

Droids are a type of robot that features in Star Wars.

History

Droids were a class of autonomous robot that were created by the inhabitants of a galaxy far, far away.

In time, the various corporations and business entities in the galaxy began the creation of legions of Battle Droids that were part of their forces. The first open use of these droids in military engagements was by the Trade Federation during their blockade of the planet Naboo. The crisis was not noted by the Republic with debates on the validity of the attack. This was until the blockade was stopped by the actions of the people of Naboo and members of the Jedi Order. Afterwards, the Trade Federation joined other similar corporations that became dissatisfied by the Republic with them being brought together by Count Dooku. These factions pooled together their military forces in the creation of the Droid Army that became the might of the Confederacy of Independent Systems that opposed the Republic. The Republic responded by the deployment of the Grand Army of the Republic that was populated by clones who waged a conflict against the Battle Droids in the Clone Wars.
