Welcome to the HoloNet Uplink, citizen. This series focuses on Fantasy Flight Games\u2019 Star Wars Roleplaying Game, with content aimed mostly at the Gamemaster. Threats, adventure seeds, rules supplements, and more are all to come for those who\u00a0access\u00a0The HoloNet Uplink.<\/em><\/p>\n

With the second half of\u00a0Star Wars: Rebels<\/em>‘ third season in full swing I thought it best to celebrate the HoloNet Uplink way: with a good ol’ fashion write up. As of the time of writing, the latest episode is “Warhead” (S3E14). So it’s only natural for me to pump out some stats for the EX-D Infiltrator Droid<\/a>.<\/p>\n

**Spoiler Alert: Minor spoilers for that episode are below!**<\/strong><\/p>\n

EX-D Infiltrator\u00a0Droid [Nemesis]<\/h3>\n

Disguised as a meek protocol droid, the EX-D series Infiltrator Droid ably serves the Empire on solo search and destroy missions. Within the innocuous looking, generic humanoid frame, lurks the programming of an assassin and the equipment to match. Within seconds, the EX-D can reconfigure into Attack Mode, gaining considerable height and deploying weapon systems. Blasters, shock pincers, and combat sensors combine to make this droid a formidable foe. However, it is the droid’s core programming to report or destroy Rebel bases to Imperial Command, backed by the proton warhead failsafe installed deep within their chassis, that make EX-D Infiltrators so dangerous to Rebel cells. The installation of a proton warhead failsafe is in violation of Imperial doctrine, meaning EX-D Infiltrators are likely to be deployed only by commanders with sufficient clout or significant desperation.<\/p>\n
