P2-series Droid
this was Industrial Automaton's first attempt to build an astromech droid. Large and cumbersome, the P2-series was eventually scrapped when Industrial Automaton was served with a technology-infringement lawsuit by former executives of Industrial Intelligence. However, after the suit was settled, the basic design of the P2 series was reused in the development of the R2 series. These droids were plagued by a series of minor, though annoying, design glitches, including a poorly-coded maneuverability routine that caused the P2 to bump into objects. Also, the P2 could only communicate via its viedo screen or an input jack, making their application to certain starship systems tricky. The P2 was controlled by the Intellex II computer brain.
