The '''EG-6 power droid''' by [[Veril Line Systems/Legends|Veril Line Systems]] was an ambulatory [[Power droid/Legends|power droid]].

==Characteristics==
[[File:Eg-6_Power_Droid.jpg|left|thumb|An EG-6 power droid]]
A [[Fifth-degree droid|fifth-degree]]<ref name"Cynabar">''[[Cynabar's Fantastic Technology: Droids]]''</ref> [[Power droid/Legends|power droid]], the EG-6 was 1.1 [[Imperial standard meter|meters]] tall.<ref name="TNEGtD" /> Outfitted with low [[Artificial intelligence/Legends|artificial intelligence]], EG-6's only function was to provide energy to diverse machinery, starships, and other vehicles. Most of the EG-6's interior was filled out by its [[Power fusion generator|fusion generators]]. Its hull was heavily armored, and the droid was designed to survive extreme temperatures or radiation.<ref name="TEGtD">{{EGCite|D|EG-6 Power Droid}}</ref>

There were two heavy power plug-in sockets on the right side of the EG-6's body and a standard power plug-in socket on the lower half of its front. There was also a light power plug-in socket in the face-like unit on the upper half of its front side, which also contained a system diagnostic package and visual sensors as well as an acoustic signaler. The droid was able to speak droid and computer languages only.<ref name="TEGtD" />

The system diagnostic package included a spectrometer and infrared, sonar, and X-ray scanners and was used for equipment checks. Although rarely used, the EG-6 had a manipulator arm that was hidden under a small panel on its lower front side.<ref name="TEGtD" />

==History==
[[File:EG-6_power_droid.png|thumb|left|150px|An EG-6 on the planet [[Tatooine/Legends|Tatooine]]]]
The EG-6 was found nearly everywhere throughout the galaxy, but its lead in the energy-supply market diminished a bit when [[Industrial Automaton/Legends|Industrial Automaton]] released the nearly identical [[GNK power droid]].<ref name="TEGtD" />

Its follow-up model, the [[S9-series heavy power droid]], a larger and more powerful version of the EG-6, was Veril Line Systems' answer to the GNK droid.<ref name="VG8">Visual Guide Chapter 8</ref>

The EG-6 that was owned by the [[Lars family/Legends|Lars family]] on [[Tatooine/Legends|Tatooine]] was several hundred standard years old.<ref name="VG8" />

==Behind the scenes==
''[[The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia]]'' states that the power droid that C-3PO and R2-D2 found in the [[Sandcrawler/Legends|Jawa sandcrawler]] in [[Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope|''A New Hope'']] was an EG-6. However, this droid emits the "gonk" sound, which is a feature of the [[GNK power droid]].
