The Hailfire droid is a war vehicle from the fictional Star Wars constructed by the Intergalactic Banking Clan. The hailfire droid was a self-aware mobile missile platform and was capable of destroying entire platoons of enemy soldiers. The hailfire droid is also known as the '"Wheel droid"' and is well equipped with missile launchers fitted on each side of its head. Each missile launcher could fire 30 rocket warheads which were powerful enough to cause terrible damage to enemy targets. The hailfire droid also ran on large hoop-like wheels on either side of the body which enabled it to operate on every land terrain. Before the Clone Wars, the hailfire droid was used by the Intergalactic Banking Clan to punish customers who had declined to pay their debts. The hailfire droid first appeared in the Attack of the Clones during the Battle of Geonosis where they disabled or destroyed several AT-TEs and injured and killed several Clone troopers before being destroyed by Republican Gunships. Later during the Clone Wars, the hailfire droids fought in many battles against the Old Republic.
