They are from the novel Fatal Alliance. This writeup is way better than their description on Wookieepedia: http://comicvine.gamespot.com/profile/thevivas/blog/star-wars-hex-droid-overview/125806/

FlyingArrow wrote:Hex Droid
Fringe 21/30
RM: B'omarr Monk (UH 15)
Cost: 35
HP: 70
Def: 19
Atk: 11
Dmg: 20
Special Abilities
Droid
Advanced Shields 2 [When this character takes damage, make 2 saves; each roll of 6 reduces the damage dealt by 10]
Anarchist [Not subject to commander effects. Suppresses enemy and allied commander effects within 6 squares.]
Coordinated Movement [At the end of this character's turn, 1 ally named Hex Droid may immediately move up to 2 squares]
Extra Attack [On its turn, this character can make 1 cumulative extra attack instead of moving]
Hex Droid [Whenever this character is defeated, another character named Hex Droid within 6 squares either removes all damage, gains Extra Attack, or gains Cloaked (If this character has cover, it cannot be targeted by nonadjacent enemies) until the end of the skirmish.]
Rival [May not be in a squad with any commanders]
Swarm Synergy +1 [+1 Attack and +1 Defense for each other ally named Hex Droid within 6 squares]
"We do not recognize your authority!" Quotes from Fatal Alliance related to the Star Wars Minis representation. Getting a boost when an ally is defeated: Quote:When there were just two left, the droid transferred its weight to its four injured legs and hopped to where one of its fellows was trading fire with Dao Stryver. The injured droid jumped onto the back of its counterpart, and the two bodies locked together. The four injured legs retracted, creating a more massive droid with eight legs, all willing and able to fire. Gaining Cloaked mid-skirmish: Quote:Then suddenly it retreated. Its limbs worried at its metallic skin as though scratching itself for fleas. She followed it, puzzled and wary. Was this a trap,some strange new tactic to throw her off her guard? She lunged at it, and it backed away rapidly, firing a stream of blue to keep her at bay.
Then it stopped, stood its ground, and vanished.
For a second Ax doubted the evidence of her own eyes. How could a droid just disappear? It wasn't possible!
A blast of blue energy struck her from the side, out of thin air, and she realized: the droid had activated a camouflage system, reducing its appearance to little more than a blur. It was blending into the background, circling her, trying to shoot her in the back. Strong shields that can even reflect lightsabers: Quote:Furthermore, the damaged one demonstrated a potent kind of shield when Shigar got too close. It crossed two limbs into an X and created a short-lived circular electromirror that bent his lightsaber back into a V, almost taking off his arm in the process.
[...]
First, she tried spearing the hexagonal body with her lightsaber.
Some kind of shield appeared between them, bending her blade back at her own arm, forcing her to retreat. Absorbing and dissipating damage (i.e. removing all damage). They're defeated when they take damage quickly enough that they can't dissipate it all: Quote:Another sniper rifle arrived, and Potannin took up the fight. He tried the joints, with little success, and moved on to the sense organs scattered across the chests of the things. The black circles reacted differently from the silver skin under fire. They absorbed everything that came at them, and radiated the energy as heat. Their reflective black surfaces soon turned to red, then ramped up to orange and yellow. Eventually one hit purple and exploded, making the droid spin around in circles for a moment before recovering.

Corellian Jedi Lord looks very similar to some of the ideas from the CCC week 16 CCC week 16 green jedi.Was this any inspiration for the Vset build. I'm glad the vset team did this because it kills 2 birds with one stone. bravo!! With the Skyborn Ranger coming out from the last set, I don't understand why Sarasu Taalon's movement CE is for medium and smaller. That could have been very useful for the ranger to be able to get out of trouble after doing a battering charge.

I just checked. The Corellian's final stat block was posted in June (other than wording changes).
The movement breaker on Sarasu was changed to Medium or smaller after PT.

Preview from SHNN this past Thursday: === Quote:Gaeriel Captison
Cost:18
Fringe 4/6
RM: Mon Mothma
HP: 30
Def: 15
Atk: +3
Dam: 10
Special Abilities
Unique. Melee Attack
Cosmic Balance [Whenever a character deals (to an enemy) damage that is more than twice its printed Damage rating, a different enemy removes 10 damage]
Diplomat [If an attacker has line of sight to any enemies without Diplomat, this character is not a legal target and does not count as the nearest enemy, even if adjacent]
The Religion of the Cosmic Balance was based on the tenet that every action in the universe had an equal and opposite reaction elsewhere.

Not sure I get the point of Cosmic Balance. Why would you want a piece that heals an enemy every time you do big damage to a different enemy? It's not like it's hindering some big thing that Gaeriel does. He's just an 18 point weak attacking Diplomat, isn't he? I mean, I guess you could get him up to a +7 for 30 with Talon and the Chiss Captain or something, but even then you might as well just swarm Caamasis if you're going to do that with this big a drawback. Am I reading that incorrectly?
Furthermore, I assume that Allana's commander effect still follows faction rules?

It affects all players, so you can't both boost up your own scrubs and bring in a way to counter opposing scrubs. Well, you could but then your opponent would get the Cosmic Balance bonus, too. When it says "enemy" it means when a character deals damage to its enemy.
Gaeriel could be useful against a squad like Daala or Togorian Grenades - 10dmg characters dealing 30dmg+ at a time. 20dmg characters don't often do 50dmg at a time, so she isn't as useful there.

Commander Effect
Immediately before the first initiative roll of the skirmish, you may add a character that costs 5 or less to your squad for each character that was added to your opponent's squad, or that replaced a character in your opponent's squad. Does this nerf the character's own printed abilities? For instance Mara Jade does not gain her own cunning attack ability? Or Cad bane does not gain Bounty Hunter attack boost? or opportunist from Dash Rendar? or Darth Bane cannot gain from Sith Rage? If so, I find it absurdly powerful. what if Han Solo, smuggler is popped by Leia, when do you use the ability to stop the bonuses from happening? does Han's shot from being popped count as Leai's turn right? so Han would not get any bonus for opportunist or from Leia's CE? I love the idea of stopping bonuses to people (and not boardwide like bastila) I just do not know if I like the idea of stopping individual abilities. that's why I am asking.
