Log 9/23/19:This log hereby corrects intel acquired in log Log 5/25/19.

As the course of events would have it, we've encountered Rover yet again. Or, a "Rover".


After a battleground fluke from crashed trifighters, a large fuel-refinery field detonated and caused a 10 minute eruption of death. While the Republic has lost a major payday, and has to pay for repairs, the Separatist threat is gone. Still, the Burst Link, who were stationed on the mission, had to find a farther area to evacuate from. They located and abandoned Separatist base which was scheduled for demolition by the landing droids. Upon opening a small set of gates, the clones encountered a large, grey, headless, bulky droid. Though initially misidentified as a bomb, in a back room of the compound was the head of the droid. As it turns out from ARC Intel gathering, this "Rover" is identified as Rendition 0 - Version 2 - Repulse Droid. R0V2R. Doesn't quite roll of the tongue. Viewing logs, it was discovered that R0V2R utilizes Repulsor-Lift technology instead of sound waves. This experimental Repulsor Tech was cited in a series of logs to be costly in energy. No energy source was deemed efficient enough, nor was it deemed as worth it, due to malfunctions. However, R0V2R is recorded to have still collapsed a city, particularly on Oh'Eyoh. It seems that R0-V3-R wasn't the only one used for terror. Either way, R0V2R is discontinued and destroyed. The clones paid it no mind after blasting it with a tank. The wonder is if R0-V3-R is still of relevance.
So is R0-V3-R the latest version? Like did we find an old one or was R0-V3-R version 1?

R0-V3-R is the latest that we are aware of. The V3 in R0V3R stands for version 3.

You located R0-V2-R, V2 being Version 2. You located an older model.

Log 9/12/20: (Eventline on Hiatus)


The following is a mixture of intel from Siroconna Station and Operation Eviction Notice, as well as the crash inspection taking place on 9/12/20. It is believed that during the crash, R0V3R escaped, disconnected from central command after the ship's damaging.


 

 


Events of 4/6/20:


Operation Eviction Notice was a siege on the Separatist base known as Siroconna Station. A successful raid enacted by the 687th Fleet and the Burst Link Venator discovered an extensive amount of prototype Separatist armaments. During the assault, it was discovered that R0V3R, previously unseen for quite some time, was housed within the complex walls. Clones were incapable of capturing the machine, and despite pursuit by Jedi Knight Ahl To alongside infantry, R0V3R escaped, leaving a trail of wounded soldiers in its wake. However, the mission was not all loss. Extensive amounts of new intel on R0V3R were discovered through terminals near its testing ground. The following information has been retrieved for the benefit of the Republic in dealing with this threat.


Project Revival:


Data from Siriconna Station reveal that Project 200, Soundbarrier, or R0V3R’s project, had faced some difficulties in development for months prior, persisting until now. After a disagreement between the head researcher of R0V3R, the project lost its momentum and the researcher was discarded. For this reason, it is believed the Project’s head researcher was not a willing participant or may have become disillusioned with Separatist goals. All details on the researcher have been lost, likely wiped by Separatist leaders. R0V3R’s project remained on hold until new funding arrived from Separatist General Vo Dao. The hope was to finalize the capabilities of R0V3R to its maximum potential, discarding it’s weaknesses entirely. However, a conflict between Separatist Naval Officers resulted in a strange compromise, to the disliking of General Vo Dao. The compromise would allow R0V3R to be utilized by Separatist military leaders for different periods of time. Combined with the destruction of Siroconna station and difficulties in furthering the AI capabilities of R0V3R, the project has essentially stagnated.


Capability Index:


The following chart is a set of miscellaneous tests located in Siroconna Station, meant to gauge the capabilities of R0V3R before resumed development.

Autonomy:


As known previously, R0V3R possesses a quality of low autonomy, capable of taking complete control when disconnected from a Separatist Command Vessel. However, details from Siroconna station and other newfound data have detailed the process of taking control.

The link between R0V3R and Separatist Command can usually be sustained over long distances by Separatist Capital Ships. This connection is first established through a unique audio frequency, transferring R0V3R between different command vessels. This link has also been establishable by smaller transmitters, like beacons or command posts, but manual operations frown upon such due to the risk of losing control. When control is gained, R0V3R’s automated functions are at their most effective. It’s AI is a very ruthless and effective weapon of war, and the connection with CIS command is typically hard to disable.

i'm kind of shocked but also pleasantly pleased to see that this whole thing is still going on

albeit on hiatus now, but it's nice.

i just procrastinate on lore threads so data chunks get released late, but also wardrobe broke and I cant do shizer with r0v3r, his design is very important to the concept imo

Log 3/16/21:


This log is made with the intention of bringing awareness to the current situation with R0V3R, a Separatist Superweapon.

It is rather apparent that the CIS has resumed operations utilizing their prototype droid. R0V3R was unknowingly relocated following a relocation effort of Republic civilians during Separatist invasion. The Burst Link Venator was deployed to reinforce a high-interest city sector before pending evacuation. Stalling adequately, the clones guided civilians through a set evacuation route where they would move to an external Republic communications dish, guarded by a mining settlement in the desert.

 


It was discovered the town had been long successful in its protection of the dish with the help of an
"Old Protector", a bulky droid with impressive armaments. It was soon discovered this town would be a secondary objective for the Separatist advance, prompting the arrival of Separatist Admiral Galeo Cuvier. Emitting some sort of frequency-based link, Cuvier would re-establish a Separatist connection with the protector, known by Republic and Separatists alike as R0V3R. It would quickly flee the situation and be re-acquired into CIS hands.

 


A
secondary encounter with R0V3R would also involve another Republic city evacuation, this time on the planet Afara. As the Separatists made a sweeping advance and began to conglomerate at the depleting held cities, Republic forces would work to stall incoming droids through a sewer route. R0V3R would be deployed, likely taking advantage of the vast system of reverberation tunnels, taking out platoons at a time. Through a risky maneuver by Marshall Commander Chorus involving heavy bombardment, R0V3R, alongside some remaining clone forces, would become trapped and cut off in the ruined city.

 


Seemingly disconnected from CIS command at first,
the Burst Link Venator would locate R0V3R wandering the destroyed city streets. While droid stragglers remained, the majority of gathering Separatist battle droids had been destroyed. While the Burst Link would attempt to contact the Marshall Commander for evacuation, Chorus would be preoccupied with the arrival of Separatist General Vo Dao. Never having been disconnected, R0V3R would lure the Burst Link into a trap. Various units, notably RI Ubiysta and Frogmin, would re-establish a communications line with Republic Command. The Burst Link would narrowly escape with the help of light shuttles, leaving the city behind.
