AA-1 VerboBrain

The AA-1 VerboBrain was a model of verbobrain manufactured by SyntheTech, that was installed in the 3PO series of protocol droids produced by Cybot Galactica. The AA-1 was designed to allow the droid to flawlessly perform as translators and diplomats, and also allowed the unit to develop an original personality with genuine emotions.

The AA-1 was a piece of computing hardware that enabled a droid's cognitive functions and logic processing. The fluency in "6 million forms of communication" C-3PO often boasted about was provided by a TranLang III communications module, not to be confused with the AA-1 Verbobrain.

Industrial Automaton installed AA-1 VerboBrains in the LOM-series protocol droid. Equipping the trademark hardware infuriated Cybot Galactica, which was compounded by Industrial Automaton giving the LOM-series a TranLang III communications module and obvious cosmetic similarities to the 3PO-series. Cybot Galactica sent an army of copyright attorneys after Industrial Automaton, leading to only a limited release of the LOM-series.

The AA-1 had a total data capacity of five exabytes and could operate at seven petahertz.

PD-series protocol droids were equipped with standard AA-1 VerboBrains. Due to the intention to sell the droids to the Lurrian market, sixty percent of the language programming was removed and replaced with extensive information on genetics and DNA resequencing.

The AA-1 VerboBrain was installed in Arakyd Industries' Mark VII "Inquisitor" Series Seeker Droid. It worked in conjunction with Arakyd's own BXT-4 central processing computer.
