Background
QZ-5YQ is a 5YQ-series protocol droid originally stolen from a Cybot Galactica warehouse after the model was discontinued following a lawsuit against the company over the use of shared components with the highly similar 3PO-series. Sourced from a trader by a Republic mechanic, QZ-5YQ was selected because as a 'boutique' prototype the 5YQ-series would be easier to modify for its intended purpose.
This intended purpose was to transform QZ-5YQ into a formidable marksman so that he could serve as a means of escorting and guarding Republic diplomats throughout the "cold" phase of what has now escalated into the "Clone Wars". In the few situations where his intervention was necessary, QZ-5YQ proved to be highly efficient at dispatching threats. With his combat capabilities proven, once the tensions escalated into all out war a Republic strategist who had witnessed QZ-5YQ's abilities first-hand requested that rather than be decommissioned, the droid could be put to use in the front lines, supporting sections of clonetroopers on specialist missions.
Motivation
Drive: The Mission
The current assignment or mission drives this droid. He stops at nothing to see that the orders he's been given are carried out, and carried out well. He doesn't give up easily, and he is considered to be a tenacious warrior by the troops who serve alongside him.
Duties
Ground Superiority (5)
No matter how good air support might be, battles are eventually decided on the ground. This PC knows that taking out enemy infantry and armor in combat from turrets, armored walkers and speeders, mechanized cavalry, and even traditional, mounted cavalry is what holds the line and wins the day. This PC is always on the lookout for key enemy ground assets to disable and destroy.
