Description

The AD75 Advertisement Droid was using a  floats on repulsorlift, alongside a  with a built-in flyer printer, which he used to passes out flyers to people around him and had a holoscreen for displaying advertisements. Meant as an advertising droid for smaller businesses, these droids were mostly used by those that unlike the big conglomerates, companies and richest individuals, yes even those in middle class could not effort other mass-media advertising wherever they were. In the Core Worlds and Colonies they, alongside other similar droids and models were a frequent sign for smaller businesses and companies that this way tried to gain more local customers, trough word-of-mouth and overall advertisement, often in their very own neighborhood, or close by ones. More medium businessman and companies also still partially used them across planets for their cost-efficiency, before most would go over to a more efficient, or modern method of advertising. Used sometimes by criminals to relay secret inflammations without being caught by Police and other Law Enforcements trough the larger networks, during the Separatist Crisis and the Clone Wars many droids like this came to sad fame, as they were reprogrammed by the Separatists for purpose of their Propaganda. Much like the much larger and mass-reaching CIS Shadofeed, pirating unauthorized holofeeds in between the official and legal Republic HoloNetNews (HNN), these droids served the purpose of spreading Separatist Propaganda and Information's to the Masses, some even without knowing it trough a backdoor chip, or programming that wasn’t part of their normal processors and sub-routine and therefore much harder to detect, even if these droids were connected to scanners and other droids. While not like the slicer, or hacking droids capable of infiltrating Republic datapads and computer networks, especial ones that the Separatist disguised as regular maintenance and other droids working and permitted even in high security installations, the Advertisement Droids still served a viable purpose, as they, much more so then most were surprisingly efficient to reach not only the masses on the streets quickly, yes often without being noticed for quit some time, but they actually got the job done more efficiently then most.


Easily reprogrammed because of the purpose of their job and existence, a few of them were even capable of reprogramming each other if they were of the same type and series, making it nearly laughable easy for the Separatists to add to their numbers, one, ten, hundred, thousands sometimes on some worlds. Sometimes the strategy backfired when Republic Loyalists caught such droids and outright attacked and destroyed them on the streets, when they found out they spread Separatist Propaganda, tarnishing the image of Droids overall in the galaxy, not just Battle Droids, to the point that after the Separatist Crisis, but much more so even trough and after the Clone Wars that many people mistrusted Droids in general, especially in the regions that had been Battlefields of large planetary wars, skirmishes, assassinations and other conflict during the Clone Wars. After all even those Droids that had not outright fought them as Battle Droids had spied upon them, sabotaged them, sometimes assassinated and still killed them, either by targeting special Republic Loyalist Individuals, or overall civilians for the shock effect. No one was safe and because of that on some worlds, or areas of them Droids were not safe either, being hunted, attacked and destroyed by angry mobs of people and individuals effected by the Clone Wars and Battle Droids negatively in some way, shape, or form. Who upon unable to vent otherwise vented their frustration against these Droids, Droids overall, no matter if they were innocent or not, no matter if they often needed these droids for automation, their industries, companies, overall production, gathering of resources and goods. This hatred, yes unwillingness to accept droids back into their lives, even after the Clone Wars had ended was also why many worlds had a much harder time to recover from the damages and losses caused by the Clone Wars as Droid numbers all across the Galaxy dwindled immensely, more so in the Rim and the Edges of the Galaxy were the Clone Wars had been fought over and lasted the lognest, less so in the Core and Colonies, were the Battles had either been further away, or Droids simply could not be abandoned, outlawed and being stopped to use, unless the whole automatized industries, economies and supply lines of this massive world cities and overpopulated worlds were to collapse in anarchy and chaos.
