The '''Marksman-H combat remote''', also referred to as a '''seeker droid'''<ref name="Hero for Hire">''[[Star Wars Journal: Hero for Hire]]''</ref> and '''training remote''', was a [[Remote/Legends|remote]] used for military [[Training droid/Legends|training]]. Manufactured by [[Industrial Automaton/Legends|Industrial Automaton]], it was equipped with non-lethal [[Blaster/Legends|blasters]] to prevent injuries to the target. It was sold for 350 credits.<ref name="RPGCR">''[[Star Wars Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook]]''</ref>

The fast-moving and unpredictable remote was commonly used by marksmen to improve reaction time and aiming skills. In order to prevent damage, remotes were usually shot at with light-only blasts. Many smugglers and [[Bounty hunter/Legends|bounty hunters]] also used remotes to perfect their quick-draw skills. Most famously, [[Han Solo/Legends|Han Solo]] owned and practiced with a Marksman-H model training remote.

==History==
[[File:Training_remote.jpg|thumb|left|[[Han Solo/Legends|Han Solo's]] Marksman-H]]
During the time of the [[Galactic Republic/Legends|Galactic Republic]], [[Jedi/Legends|Jedi]] [[Youngling/Legends|younglings]] would practice [[Form I/Legends|Shii-Cho]] with these remotes. Indeed, the younglings were using them, under supervision of [[Yoda/Legends|Yoda]], when [[Obi-Wan Kenobi/Legends|Obi-Wan Kenobi]] came to them for help in locating [[Kamino/Legends|Kamino]]. Some variants, however, were modified for actual combat in case the Jedi Temple was attacked, as was demonstrated during [[Operation: Knightfall]].<ref name="GBA/DS">''Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith'' video game; Anakin scenario (GBA/DS version)</ref>

They were also used as shooting-range targets as part of the training of [[Clone trooper/Legends|clone]] [[Sniper/Legends|sharpshooters]] during the [[Clone Wars/Legends|Clone Wars]].<ref name="Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Sharpshooter">''[[Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Sharpshooter]]''</ref>

After the [[Declaration of a New Order|birth]] of the [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Galactic Empire]], several Marksman-H combat remotes were modified to carry out executions to enemies of the Empire. These execution droids would wander population centers and scan for enemies of the Empire based on the identities of known targets stored in their memory banks. Upon locating them, the targets would be executed on the spot.<ref name="Galaxy7">{{GalaxyCite|6|Predators of the Empire}}</ref>

Later, [[Luke Skywalker/Legends|Luke Skywalker]] practiced with one aboard the [[Millennium Falcon/Legends|''Millennium Falcon'']]. Luke could not predict what the remote would do, but then [[Obi-Wan Kenobi/Legends|Ben Kenobi]] put down the blast visor on Luke's helmet. Eventually Luke saw the point of this; after a little more practice, he could block the droid at will.
