Synthdroids were a specific model of droid that were manufactured by the Loronar Corporation, being initially introduced in 13 ABY. To mimic the appearance of Humans or various other organic beings, these droids employed shaped synthskin stretched over metallic frames. This characteristic made them comparable to Human replica droids. A key difference, though, was that synthdroids incorporated CCIR technology, which enabled them to be operated remotely from a main hub and reduced the need for extensive onboard processing capabilities.
Loronar emphasized advantages of synthdroids like their visual appeal, dependability, stringent operational standards, and resistance to digital infections. Nevertheless, the inclusion of CCIR tech resulted in a higher price point.
It was not uncommon to encounter synthdroids within the luxurious pleasure domes situated on planets such as Hesperidium and Carosi XII, where they enjoyed considerable favor.
