CharacteristicsEdit

The Z-X3 was designed to work under extreme planetary conditions even stormtroopers couldn't survive such as radioactive environments and outer space.

It was similar in design to the earlier L8-L9 model developed by TaggeCo during the Clone Wars, though its outer plating was designed to resemble stormtrooper armor. The Z-X3 had no built in weapons, so it carried a blaster rifle or Briletto AAP-IV "blaster box" on its chest. It also included increased agility and maneuverability.

After the Z-X3's rejection by the Empire, two new stormtrooper divisions: the Zero-G "space trooper" and Radiation Zone Assault Trooper, or "Radtrooper" filled the niches for which the Z-X3 was designed.

HistoryEdit

Ultimately, the Imperials were not satisfied, and the the defeat of the Separatist droid army was too fresh in the mind of Imperials, and the Z-X3 was rejected. However, the model was used as a starting point for the later Dark trooper project.

One Z-X3 went on to work as a security officer for the cyborg Kligson on his moon, the Droid World. In 3 ABY he tried to kill Kligson and take over but killed a decoy instead. He was then destroyed by Kligson.
