The 501-Z Police Droid is one of the most autonomous
police droids ever manufactured, and was the SoroSuub
Corporation's only foray into the law-enforcement
market. The 501-Z Police Droid or ZED was designed to
handle security and
law enforcement on
frontier outposts, or
supplement
understaffed
constabulary districts
on high-traffic
planets. SoroSuub
made the Zed with a
personality module
that was as advanced
as that on the most
sophisticated protocol
droid. This helped the
Zed to interact with
other officers either
organic or robotic,
and its advanced module also helps the droid to get
inside the mind of a criminal suspect. This allows the
droid to predict where a lawbreaker might be hiding or
what his next target might be. These droids are
empowered to hunt down and arrest fugitives, even
between far-flung planets and star systems. This
empowerment does occasionally create problems since
many local governments do not recognize the authority
of a robotic constable. The Zed's programming contains
a subroutine that allows it to improvise when confronted
with a difficult challenge, and these droids will even
exhaust ever legal resource to bring in a wanted felon.
The Zed series stands nearly 1.9 meters tall, and has a
crimson durasteel body that is shock-resistant, but is
unable withstand sustained blaster fire. The droids strong
piston-driven arms allow this droid to haul objects many
times its own weight, and it can also operate for
extended periods without recharging. These droids are
programmed to respond to a threat with nonlethal force
only, and if a scuffle does break out the droid will
typically subdue the assailant with an electrical stun
stick. Also in addition to the stun stick sometimes the Zed
will carry a low-power stun blaster, and its portable
Lumin-rod can be used to light up dim warehouses or
alleyways.
