ID9 Seeker Droid (Parrot Droid)

ID9 Seeker Droid (Parrot Droid) droid enemy for SWURPG ID9 Seeker Droids — sometimes nicknamed “Parrot Droids” — are compact reconnaissance and tracking units used for surveillance, manhunts, and facility security. They resemble miniature probe droids with a domed head, a red photoreceptor lens, and multiple articulated limbs that let them crawl through tight spaces when hovering isn’t practical. In Star Wars stories, an ID9 is the kind of droid that shows up before the real trouble arrives: it watches, records, tags targets, and relays your location to something with heavier armor and bigger guns.

In SWURPG, the ID9 is a perfect low-DR threat for stealth missions, prison breaks, shipboard boarding actions, and corporate vault scenes. It’s not here to win a firefight — it’s here to expose the party’s position, force quick decisions, and make the environment feel like it’s actively hunting the heroes. It also introduces a fun Star Wars twist: mimicry. An ID9 can imitate droid tones and short speech patterns, creating false alarms, fake commands, or misleading audio cues in the middle of a tense infiltration.

For Game Masters, the ID9 is a “pressure unit” that turns mistakes into consequences. If it escapes, it should change the scene: doors seal, lights flip to alert mode, patrol patterns tighten, and reinforcements start sweeping the zone. If the party captures it, it becomes a mobile datapad full of security logs, patrol routes, and access clues — making the droid a valuable objective even when it isn’t a serious combatant.

Droid encounters in SWURPG should feel different than “people with blasters.” Droids are built for directives: deny access, neutralize intruders, guard the objective, isolate a target, or hold a corridor until reinforcements arrive. Run ID9 Seeker Droid (Parrot Droid) like a machine with a job — and make the battlefield part of that job: alarms, doors, cameras, lockdown phases, and patrol loops.

Parrot Mimicry. The ID9 can imitate droid sounds and recorded speech patterns. As a Bonus Action, it can mimic a short phrase or familiar audio cue (alarm chirp, maintenance callout, officer command). Creatures that hear it must succeed on a DC 12 Insight (WIS) check to recognize the mimicry as fake if the situation is plausible.
Advanced Tracking Sensors. The ID9 has Advantage on Perception checks to detect movement, heat traces, and audio signatures within 60 feet. It also has Advantage on Survival checks to track a creature it has seen within the last hour.
Data Probe Interface. If the ID9 is adjacent to a console, door panel, or security junction, it can attempt a Use Computer check as part of an Action (DC set by the GM) to download logs, copy access codes, or tag a target on local security feeds.

The ID9 tags the target with sensor lock and transmits its position.

The tag ends early if the target breaks line of sight and becomes fully concealed.

ID9 Seeker Droid (Parrot Droid) in Play

ID9 Seeker Droids behave like recon assets with a directive: observe, tag, report, and survive. They avoid direct engagements whenever possible, hovering out of melee reach and using Mark Target to set up stronger allies. If threatened, the ID9 uses vents, maintenance gaps, and cluttered corridors to break line of sight, then reappears from a different angle to reacquire targets.

Run the ID9 as a moving spotlight. In stealth scenes, it patrols, pauses as if listening, then drifts toward suspicious sounds. If it detects intruders, it tags one target and attempts to flee toward a security junction or patrol route, using Parrot Mimicry to create distractions or lure the party into bad positions. In combat scenes, it stays behind tougher units and uses sensor tags to grant Advantage, turning an otherwise messy fight into a coordinated security response. The ID9’s real win condition is not damage — it’s making the facility start fighting back.

Adventure Hooks Featuring ID9 Seeker Droid (Parrot Droid)

Parrot in the Vents: During a stealth infiltration, the party keeps hearing their own voices echoing from the ventilation system — because an ID9 is mimicking their comlink chatter to draw patrols toward them. Catching it requires moving through maintenance shafts while the facility’s alert level steadily rises.
Manhunt Protocol: A corporate security chief releases multiple ID9 droids into a district after a heist. Each time an ID9 tags a character, the area becomes more hostile: checkpoints activate, doors lock, and enforcer droids converge on the tagged target.
Stolen Sensor Logs: An ID9 carries encrypted recordings of a secret meeting between rival factions. The party must capture the droid intact — destroying it wipes the data — but the droid keeps trying to reach a comm uplink to upload the evidence.
False Command: An ID9 mimics an officer’s voice to authorize a lockdown, trapping the party inside a secure wing. To escape, the heroes must locate the droid and force it to undo the command — or slice the system while security constructs tighten the net.
The Silent Tail: A friend of the party is being followed across a spaceport by an ID9. The droid never attacks — it just records, tags, and transmits. The heroes must spot it in a crowd, deal with it quietly, and determine who hired a tracker droid in the first place.
