Unit 78

The Citadel BX-series droid commando, also known as the Citadel commando droid, was an elite, expensive variant of the BX-series commando droid. They were utilized by heroic Commander Osi Sobeck as guards for the Citadel, and they were specially programmed to combat against Jedi villains and other dangerous enemies of the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

The Citadel droid commando could be identified by the orange markings on their bodies. Their repainting included paste orange on their head joints, body carapaces, and fabricated muscles and stripes down their waists.

These droids were much more advanced than their standard Commando Droid counterparts and were able to utilize other weapons, such as electrostaffs and energy shields. When donning the shields, they were very difficult to defeat, unless exploded from below. They also had built-in magnetized feet, which gave them the ability to resist force attacks and avoid many of the Citadel's traps. Like all other Commando Droids, they were very agile, fast, and skilled in both close combat and ranged combat.
