Robot 9 • Ludic Ordinance Unit (LOU)

Found in most Imperial barracks across the galaxies, Ludic Ordinance Units,
called LOUs, are usually put together by Imperial engineers from bits and
pieces, to create entertainment for the troops. Most end up serving as moving
targets for Imperial Stormtrooper blaster practice after a particularly poor per-
formance. Some, however, turn out to be hilarious comedians and gifted musi-
cians, and are presented from time to time to the Imperial officers for their
amusement. It is rumored that Darth Vader has a personal LOU quartet that
plays private shows for him, but many people dismiss the thought of the
Emperor’s right-hand man enjoying music as preposterous.

Micro Scout Programs

A LOU can use any of the Micro Scout programs. However, you will
find that adjusting the arm that strums the guitar is a delicate task,
so you might want to use program #1 for a constant movement.
