Star Wars Basilisk War Droid
The Basilisk war droid was a powerful, semi-sentient combat droid, designed by the Basiliskan race native to the planet Basilisk, located in the Core Worlds. Following the Mandalorian Crusaders' conquest of Basilisk in 4017 BBY, the Mandalorian warriors pillaged the powerful war droids for themselves. To the Mandalorians, the Basilisk droid was known as the Bes'uliik—the 'iron beast' in the Mandalorian language of Mando'a—and came to be valued as animal-like companions. Measuring several meters in height, Basilisk droids resembled a cross between a Zalorian rock-lion and a Karran beetle, though there were those that noted the similarity between the war droids and their reptilian Basiliskan creators. Basilisk war droids were armed with an array of weapons in and on their armored frame, including laser and pulse-wave cannons, shockwave generator rods, and shatter-missile launchers. The Mandalorians were known for riding Basilisk war droids down into the atmosphere of a world from space at tremendous speeds, using gravitational force and the element of surprise to overwhelm their foes. Over time, the warrior culture adapted the droids to suit different combat roles, and developed new iterations of the Basilisk that included enhanced features such as a closed cockpit.With the Basilisk war droids under their control, the Mandalorian Crusaders struck at worlds across the galaxy, conquering and assaulting the shipyards of.

At, the Mandalorian Basilisk riders flew in opposition to the world's famed Beast Riders. Following the end of the Great Sith War, the Basilisk war droids went on to become a powerful component of the Mandalorian Neo-Crusader forces during the subsequent Mandalorian Wars: Basilisk droids participated in battles at, and.Following the Mandalorians' defeat at in the final battle of the Mandalorian Wars, the warriors were commanded by the Jedi Knight Revan to destroy their Basilisk mounts as part of the terms of their surrender. However, not all complied with Revan's demands, and numerous Basilisk droids continued to survive with Mandalorians who refused to give up their beast-like companions, including members of Clan Jendri and Clan Ordo. Even still, the war droids' numbers dwindled over time, and by the rise of the New Republic, most Baslisk droids could only be found in the museums of the galaxy.
Swg Basilisk
I assume you refer to since a Basilisk 'war droid' in Eclipse Phase would be more akin to a black sphere floating around emitting basilisk hacks with all kind of sensory stimuli. XDIn First Edition it is quite simple: grab your favorite synthmorph, be it a Reaper, an Arachnoid, a Quartz. And slap Extreme Temperatures resistance (or remove the vulnerability to cold from the Quartz). Add weapons as desired, and AGI/egos as directing 'consciousness'.In second ed, I'm not sure the temperatures mod was available yet.
You can also grab the stats of Arachnikoma - the bigger variant of Arachnoid (Morph Recognition Guide page 7). It can seat a normal morph inside itself so it can be used as both a seated mech and is large enough to be ridden.Replace half of the legs with articulated weapon mounts add jet engines, add Combat Armor, add high-dive suit (Sunward somewhere) as built-in hardware and you can have your orbital drop death doggo. Weapons are up to you.For the sentience and powerful bond put an Uplifted Muse (partially) inside. Or a dedicated AI.
Better to not give so much power to a smart animal ego.
