Maintenance droids,[1] also known as repair droids,[2] mechanic droids,[3] engineer droids,[4] and utility robots,[5] were droids designed to perform repair and general maintenance tasks.[2] Models of repair droids included the WED Treadwell repair droid, the MSE-6 series repair droid,[6] the DUM-series pit droid,[2] the Otoga-222 maintenance droid,[7] the K1-RF workbench droid,[8] and the PIP droid.[9]
One such droid had multiple limbs and operated a repulsortrain operated by the Pyke Syndicate on Tatooine.[4]
R2-D2 was one of the astromech droids aboard a Naboo royal starship, was rewarded for emergency maintenance on the ship's deflector shields, and was the only repair droid to survive the task.[10]
Maintenance droids of the Jedi Temple raked patterns into the gravel floors of the Room of a Thousand Fountains nightly to replace the ones obliterated by daily foot traffic.[11]
