The buzz droid's design was based off the pisto, a pest that lived in tropical regions on the planet Colla IV. The outer shell was coated with a heat dissipating alloy that allowed it to penetrate enemy shields it was also constructed of shock-absorbing materials. Once they came into contact with an enemy starship, they would use a magnetic leg to gain a foothold. The buzz droids also had simple maneuvering jets that helped them to move while still encased within their spheres. Since they were so effective when being deployed by droid tri-fighters, the CIS retrofitted a number of Vulture droids to carry them as well. Stored inside modified vulture droids, they were used to attack the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Perilous over Ryloth.īuzz droids were intended to disable instead of destroy their targets. Eight years after the rise of the Galactic Empire, the Free Ryloth movement modified large numbers of buzz droids to explode. While their tools were effective, the central eye was a weak spot which could take the buzz droid out of commission when hit. They operated quickly, using their tools of vandalism, such as drilling cutters. They were transferred to enemy fighters via specialized discord missiles, and popped open to reveal their insect-looking body. They were used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the later stages of the Clone Wars for purpose of disabling enemy craft and were the successor to the Mark One Pistoeka sabotage droid. The Pistoeka sabotage droid, also known as the Buzz Droid, was a model of sabotage droid manufactured by Colicoid Creation Nest that could speak in the Colicoid language.
