I started an in depth look at the droid crafting and was wondering what exactly the Minion, Rival, Nemesis brackets did for friendly droids. I know for things that we attack those terms have particular rules meanings but does that work both ways? Does my gm have to put up with our parties own Nemesis when he sends bad guys at us? Or is that just a note for gm's that want to bang together some enemy droids for the party to face?

I think it's just about using a consistent verbiage to delineate for PCs what they get for how much.

I believe that it has more to do whether or not the droid can use strain, and how it's tracked.

Yep I'm assuming it's for the rules around gaining a second maneuver each round. Minions can't, Rivals suffer 2 wounds for the 2nd maneuver and Nemesis suffer strain

Which isn't an expression of how much PCs get for how much? Just like I said. It's taking the verbiage of Minion, Rival, and Nemesis, and applying it to a scaling cost/risk/reward table for PCs to consider. Exactly what I said.
