The Duelist Elite was a droid model built by Trang Robotics. These droids were considered "top-of-the-line" during the time of the Galactic Empire. A new one cost 275,000 credits.

The droids were masters of the three classical fencing styles of foil, épée, and saber. They could be equipped with a variety of melee weapons, including vibroblades; were built with blaster-resistant durasteel chassis; programmed with the knowledge of a dozen martial arts masters; and had reflexes just a hair faster than Human optimum.

The pirate Raskar utilized a Duelist Elite as a sparring droid. He also modified it to act as a security guard in the event of a breakin, as Han Solo discovered when breaking into his villa to retrieve Raskar's power gem. However, Solo tricked the droid into charging into destruct beams surrounding the power gem and destroyed it, consequently also causing Raskar to believe Solo died until he returned to the Villa.[1]
