Description
A nearly meter-wide black sphere with an antenna array that can collapse to a meter and a half long and a secondary antenna cluster beneath, IT-71 is one of Aratech Repulsor's entirely non-famous IT-7X spaceborne communications repeater and interceptor droids. It has no noticeable sensor glow unless you can see in ultraviolet, and its secondary 'eye' is a multimode phased-array laser communicator and holoprojector.
