Asp Droid
Basic Information -
Height: 1.6 meters
Manufacturer: Industrial Automaton
Type: Worker Droid
A diligent and simplistic worker droid, the chrome-plated asp has a very utilitarian appearance. Roughly humanoid in form, the asp has a sturdy, practical frame with simple joints powered by exposed hydraulic pistons and servomotors. There are numerous models of Industrial Automaton asp units, varying in size and function. Most are uncomplicated fifth-degree labor droids, customized with add-on equipment and software. The ASP-7 is a common labor model. It has limited cognitive ability, and its no-frills vocodor can only respond "affirmative" or "negative." The prefect of Mos Eisley had a team of many asp droids throughout the city. One particular droid, ASP-704, was tasked with adding a number of comm repeaters to the Mos Eisley communications network. When hassled by a passing Imperial Type IV probe droid, ASP-704's short temper caused him to swat the little nuisance out of the air. Considerably taller and more complex than the ASP-7s are the ASP-19 droids. These are specifically modified for lightsaber training. Nicknamed "killer droids," Darth Vader maintained a small corps of these martial robots to spar with and hone his saber skills.
