Droideka Platforms were constructs employed in the Galactic Civil War by both the Galactic Empire and the Alliance to Restore the Republic. The purpose of these platforms was to provide a stable base for a single, immobile Droideka, effectively turning the droid into a turret with a wide viewing range. Droideka Platforms could be deployed in two different arrangements: one equipped with a Droideka Sentinel and the other with a Droideka Oppressor; both variants possessed significant weapon capabilities and deflector_shield protection.
