The advanced dwarf spider droid (A-DSD) was a more heavily armed and armored version of the DSD1 dwarf spider droid and the heavy dwarf spider droid. It was apparently part of a program to upgrade the Separatist forces, along with the B2 super battle droids, the upgraded version of the standard B1 battle droids; however, this program was cut short or suffered limited production due to raids carried out on its operation by clone commandos.
It was built for tough combat on uneven terrain, and was therefore equipped with multiple weapons-systems. These included dual target-seeking missiles which would fire once the targeting systems had a lock-on.
On top of the droid's frame, was a powerful cannon that shot high-energy bolts with explosive power and tremendous range of destruction.
Republic clone commandos would face several of these war droids during their covert missions throughout the Clone Wars.
Following the execution of the Separatist Council by Darth Sidious's new apprentice, Darth Vader, these units were de-activated.
