ST-series military strategic analysis and tactics droid

The ST-series military strategic analysis and tactics droid, also known as ST-series super tactical droids, an ST-series tactical droids, Super Tactical Command Droids, or simply as super tactical droids were an advanced model of tactical droid that was utilized as an enhanced version of the T-series military strategic analysis and tactics droid. In the second year of the Clone Wars, due to the inflexible and predictable deficiencies of the T-series model, the ST-series super tactical droid was produced by Baktoid Combat Automata for the Confederacy of Independent Systems and its military branch as a solution. Programmed with higher strategical processing and intelligence, while also equipped with better tactical analysis and predicting a response to organic commanders, super tactical droids were utilized by the Separatists as masterful battlefield commanders, often filling the role of commander or general, including Commanders Aut-O and Kraken, as well as Generals Kalani and Linwodo, the former of which served directly under Separatist Head of State Count Dooku. Although they saw frequent deployment throughout the Separatist military, the T-series model still saw utilization by the Confederacy, commanding small fleet groups on non-essential missions, while prime objectives and operations were proceeded to super tactical droids.

Taller than their forebears by a single centimeter, the ST-series units were constructed with superior armor plating than that of the T-series, and were also equipped with additional systems, such as greater heat ventilation, magnatomic grip panels which allowed them to use organic equipment, and an additional third photoreceptor. Super tactical droids were also granted by their superior officers to a form of individuality within the Separatist military. Their given individuality thereby granted the droid model the ability to customize their entire bodies with color schemes in order to distinguish themselves. To an even greater extent, some units of the ST-series had also developed personalities of sorts, with several, such as Kalani, foregoing their identification numbers and creating names for themselves in refusal to respond to their numbers. The ST-series line was broken into two sub-variants, the Auxiliary Command Droid and Super Tactical Command and Control Droid.
