The 3PO protocol droid from Cybot Galactica are among the most humanlike automations ever developed, and you might think it would be a triumph, but unfortunately, human beings can be nervous, flighty, and borderline neurotic. Some 3PO's are all of that and more, thanks to the highly advanced neural network of the SyntheTech AA-1 Verbobrain. The superior congnitive model doesn't just allow for intense content parsing or number crunching, even though it performs those functions with ease. Verbobrain is designed to produce flawless interpeters and impeccable diplomats, permits a droid to develop genuine emotions and a surprisingly orginal personality. Cybot Galactica was forced to install creativity dampers in their 3PO units to ensure unembellished translations, and they recommend regular memory wipes to iron out any unexpected quirks. The standard TranLang III communications module features over six million languages, including obscure dialects, trade vernaculars, security codes, and droid communications. The droids vocabulator speech/sound system allows the 3PO unit to reproduce nearly any sound it hears with all the properness of the orginal sound, but the droid's humanoid constuction limits its ability to duplicate nuances of alien sign language, such as the subtle Lekku tics of Twi'leki. The program allows the droids brain to analyze speech construction and noting its repeating patterns it can translate previously unknown langauges, and this feature by itself is an invaluable tool for anthropologists and linguistic researchers. The 3PO unit is widely used by ambassadors, politicians, consuls, and members of royalty as personal attaches in diplomatic or social settings. In a Galaxy with millions of distinct cultures, no senator wants to start a war with a culture because of a communications error. Also the 3PO's are designed to be unrivaled in speaking alien touges but they are experts in etiquette, decorum, customs, posture, religious rituals, and table manners. The 3PO unit stands at a height of 1.7 meters and are encased in a glittering, burnished body shell of gold, silver, white, and a handful of other hues. The units also possess photoreceptors, auditory pickups, broadband antenna receivers, microwave detectors, and olfactory sensors. The unit is also designed with a primary circuit breaker a maser switch that can be accessed at the back of the neck. The droid does require frequent oil baths to keep their joints and couplings in prime working condition. Cybot Galactica has made 3PO droids in one form or another for over a century, and recently they have introducted a similar line of protocol units, the C series. Most speculate that this line was launched to cache in on the fame of the New Republic's famous C-3PO, even though Cybot Galactica denies this. The droids are manufactured exclusively on the factory moon of Telti, and their model numbers range from C-1 to C-9.
