A heartless perversion of medical droid technology, these droids were employed by the Empire as torturers and interrogators. Small yet terrifying, the glossy black spherical droids hovered aloft on repulsorlift energy. Their sparsely decorated surfaces featured tools of pain, and such fearsome implements as hypodermic needles loaded with truth serums and other powerful drugs. Princess Leia Organa was subjected to a mind probe administered by one of these droids. Patently illegal in the time of the Republic, torture droid technology was developed and refined by the secretive Imperial Security Bureau.
The IT-O is an amalgam of leading edge medical and assassin droid technology. With bonechilling efficiency, an IT-O can carefully monitor a victim's body functions and analyze physical and chemical weaknesses to exploit. Protruding from its glossy surface are such implements as power shears, a sonic torturer, an electroshock assembly, searing flesh pincers, acid jets and arc emitters. The IT-O's injection reservoirs can be filled with the latest drugs engineered by Imperial experts, such as Bavo Six and OV600. When Leia Organa underwent her mind probe, she was injected with a powerful mind-alternating hallucinagen that made her very susceptible to suggestion. With mere words from Darth Vader, Leia imagined herself in unbearable pain, though she was not undergoing any physical harm whatsoever. Her uncanny fortitude prevented her from divulging any Alliance secrets during this torment.
