The Mark II Droideka, sometimes referred to as the Battle-class Droideka, was a mechanized infantry unit in the Hutt Cartel and the Zann Consortium. The Mark II classification was a hybrid of Clone Wars-era vintage technology and 1 ABY-date combat technology. The original design was taken from the Trade Federation's original droideka droid, and was improved on by the Hutt Cartel on the foundry world of Hypori. The Zann Consortium raided Hypori in 1 ABY, defeating the Hutt Cartel garrison and taking the major machining lines and also the designs for the Mark II Droideka. Afterwards, these mechanized infantry units became a staple in the Zann Consortium's armies.
