OOC: This is the old version of the droids, as described in KotOR I, and numerous graphic novels, NOT the KotOR II version, which is simply a heavily armed drop pod.
IC:
Recent excavations into a millenia-old complex on the Clan's home world of Ansu has revealed an extensive production facility. It's ancient memory banks still retain, among other things, the specifications and blueprints of the legendary Basilisk War Droid. The machinery for their production was still marginally intact, and within a matter of days the assembly of these formidable constructs had begun.

The Mandalorian Basilisk War Droid was used by Mandalorian Raiders many centuries ago, and are still remembered in some areas of the galaxy. These large early walkers were not actually droids at all, lacking any kind of intelligence in themselves, however they were extremely efficient walkers, and although they lacked an enclosed cocpit they still increased the combat effectiveness of their pilot by many times. The Mandalorian pilot would wear sealed armour, and the Basilisk would aid them in the drop from their orbiting ship, as well as helping to attack any orbital defences. The mass of weapons equipped to a basilisk allowed it to do a great deal of damage to opponents, however the majority of its weapons are close ranged due to the Mandalorian preferance for fighting their opponents close up, and while this hampered the vehicles in ranged combat, the sheer terror value of these walkers made them hugely successful and long remembered in legend.
