Features
While droidekas do not walk very fast, they can move quickly by curling up into a ball and rolling, enable them to redeploy rapidly on the battlefied. Some models carry shielding capable of resisting blaster small arms. They are armed with two double-barrelled, automatic blasters, making them powerful anti-infantry units that were even a threat to Jedi. Their high cost, however, limited their production. They saw service during the Battle of Naboo and during the Clone Wars, but -- like the rest of the Confederacy's droid armies -- were de-activated at the Clone Wars' end.
