The Duelist Elite was a droid model built by Trang Robotics. These droids were considered "top-of-the-line" during the Rise of the Empire era. Darths Sidious, Tyranus, and Maul used them in the Works to train for lightsaber combat. A new one cost 275,000 credits.

The droids were masters of the three classical fencing styles of foil, épée, and saber. They could be equipped with a variety of melee weapons, including vibroblades; were built with blaster-resistant durasteel chassis; programmed with the knowledge of a dozen martial arts masters; and had reflexes just a hair faster than Human optimum.

Factory-equipped Duelist Elites were equipped with inhibitors that would prevent them from dealing a death blow to a beaten opponent, which the Sith disabled for their sparring and training. Darth Vader owned several of these droids, but since they were no match for him, he tended to use modified ASP droids instead.

Darth Maul was known to have sparred against Rapier, Hachete, Cudgel, and Chain.
