TheSB-20 Slicer Droid,^[1] also known as aSB-20 security breach droid,^[2] was a type ofdroid produced by the underground companyIllicit Electronics.^[1]

Characteristics[]

Technically heavily modifiedR-series astromech droids, especiallyR1 andR2 units, SB-20s retained the original unit's outer shell so as to appear to be ordinary legaldroids, but have been massively overhauled with highly illegal espionage and encryption/decryption gear and programming internally.^[1]

Capable ofslicing through systems and retrieving data with very little chance of detection due to their SecurityViolator security programming and CodeRifter Encryption Equipment, SB-20s were made all the more dangerous by their nondescript appearance, generally allowing them easy access to sensitive computers and free passage through security checkpoints.^[1]

Marketed quietly to underground groups at a base price of around twelve thousandcredits, the SB-20 was illegal throughout theGalactic Empire.^[1] Despite this,Imperial Intelligence acquired some of these droids for their own purposes; one such droid was instrumental in gathering information before the Imperialattack on aRebel base onPkihantri.^[1]
