PD-series protocol droid

The PD-series protocol droid, sometimes known as the PD Lurrian droid, was a protocol droid produced by Cybot Galactica specifically for the Lurrians of the planet Lur. The line was designed to appeal to the Lurrians aesthetically and to be able to traverse the harsh conditions of the homeworld. Additionally, PD-series droids were programmed with extensive knowledge of genetics and DNA resequencing, making them particularly useful to the Lurrians, who were expert geneticists. When the Galactic Empire quarantined Lur, Cybot Galactica lost their market. The production run was sold off to a wholesaler at a significant loss and the line become an expensive and embarrassing failure for the manufacturer.
