Robot 10 • Imperial Hound

As Imperial troops spread across the galaxy, they often acquired native animals
as pets. Over time they replaced these live prizes with their mechanical equiva-
lents, and thus the Imperial Hounds were born. These Droids serve as both
companions for the troops and as powerful tools of war on the battlefields of
the Empire. They are often used to guard Imperial prisons and compounds, and
also serve as scouts. Darth Vader has a pack of six Imperial Hounds that he can
control with his thoughts, and the Emperor sometimes presents Imperial
Hounds as gifts to officers who have distinguished themselves in the service of
the Empire.
The Imperial Hound presented here will raise and lower itself on its back
legs and wag its tail. Real Imperial Hounds are seldom in such a good mood!
