501-Zed

Basic Information
501-Z. The Epitome of mass-produced police droids. The selling point of this line was actually a number of things, they were durable, they were unflinchingly loyal to the law, and they were effective. But most of all, they were smart. They could think ahead to a degree unknown in other droids, and had a sense of empathy that exceeds even many humans. This, combines with their very autonomous programming, and frequently high access to resources, they were exceptionally good at tracking down and arresting criminals from the scene of the crime al the way to whatever planet they hide out on. And they do this selflessly; a 501-Z Police droid would be more than willing to throw itself into certain death to hunt down a fugitive, or to protect the innocent. This was seen by many as a drawback, but this point was outweighed by sheer effectiveness.

The 501-Z is a SoroSub product, that was discontinued some time ago. They were originally produced on Sullust, though production area grew with popularity. 501-Z Droids are originally given a tough chassis that takes quite a beating both physical and energy, and no integrated weapons, relying on stun-maces and low powered blasters to take down fugitives non-lethally. They are also able to grapple and restrain criminals.
