This droid was designed using the droid construction rules from the first
edition Rules Companion supplement. Using the rules in "Cynabar's Fantastic
Technology: Droids", Geeves' construction cost comes out to nearly 10 000
credits. The blame for the high cost goes mainly to the large number of
skills (as compared to other droids) and the inclusion of Astrogation and
Space Transports Repair (those two add a cool 3400 credits to the price).
Since I like the Rules Companion system and Geeves was designed mostly for
fun and to serve the plot (I almost never call for Astrogation roles), I'm
willing to keep the price more or less reasonable. As I mention below, a
commercial version of the droid would not include the MEC and TEC skills.

Like most of my STATS posts, this is really just a desperate cry for
attention for my web page where a picture of the droid can be found (in the
homebrew section). The url:

Capsule: The General Environment Facilitator Droid, mark V was constructed by
a Ho'Din mechanic named Krigsin Magoo at the behest of Miria Casteel who
desired a third degree droid which could look after mundane duties such as
appointment scheduling, folding laundry, packing luggage and nail polish
application. Upon its completion, the GE-V was dubbed Geeves.
With its panels closed, Geeves is a half meter diameter sphere which is
divided into two independently rotating hemispheres. Two panels on each
hemisphere open to reveal extendable attachments which aid the droid in its
duties. The upper attachments are an iron/steamer and a scomplink armature;
the lower are two fine grasper arms. The droid's eye/visual sensor is set on
"top" of the sphere and can also rotate freely. Geeves' versatile
repuls-o-vator maneuvering system allows it to reach even the most
inaccessible closet space. Geeves speaks with an outrageous French accent
despite knowing only how to speak Galactic Standard.

Geeves was designed to help Ms. Casteel keep up with high society trends and
to that end keeps its photo-receptor trained galaxy-wide on the latest
fashion news from the zero-G runways of the Imperial Core to the elite
boutiques of Cloud City. In addition, Geeves maintains a searchable database
of the most posh bistros and restaurants of any sector of the galaxy which
Miria Casteel may choose to visit. Finally, Krigsin Magoo included starship
related skills so that Geeves could aid Casteel aboard her starship.

Magoo believes there may be a niche market for the GE-V model and is
considering constructing more of the units. To keep costs down, he expects
not to include the astrogation and starship repair skillware.
