	Droid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term droid refers to a kind of robot, specifically intelligent robots as seen in the fictional Star Wars universe.
		The word "droid" originated as a contraction of "android"; in the novelization of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope the word was spelled with an apostrophe ("'droid"), a convention that has since been dropped.
		It is widely believed that the hostility shown towards droids in Episodes IV-VI is a result of animosity as droids led the armies of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, the group widely (but erroneously) believed to be responsible for the Clone Wars.

	Interrogation droid - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki
		The use of a droid rather than a biological interrogator could increase the fear in the subject, which was usually the goal of torture in the context of interrogation.
		A droid was also more capable of finely judging a subject's reactions to torture, and of applying various "treatments" precisely.
		From the standpoint of the interrogators, use of a droid was sometimes less troubling than performing the torture oneself.

		Given the recent popularity of "Battlebots" on the Comedy Channel (this was written in February 2001,) this game may provide some insight to those unfamiliar with programming assembler the difficulty those who program real-life robots must undergo.
		[DROID] falls into the realm of multimachine games, where the computer is not an adversary but a vehicle for two or more humans to compete in a manner that would otherwise be impossible.
		The storage registers are referred to by letter of the alphabet and are employed in a manner similar to variables in BASIC and other high-level languages [assembler in DROID].
