The '''TT-40 librarian droid''' was a library [[Droid/Legends|droid]] produced by the [[TelBrinTel Corporation]] for use in retrieving information. It was given little data storage capacity and no encryption capabilities, as it was designed to provide information on a by-request basis. The TT-40 was a common sight in public spaces such as corporate lobbies and municipal archives.<ref name="EGD" />

==Overview==
The TT-44 was equipped with a wide, [[Repulsorlift/Legends|repulsorlift]]-engine base which doubled as a data terminal allowing users to make data requests from any direction, either by typing their searches directly through multiple keyboards or verbally interacting with the droid. The base supported the main body of the droid which consisted of a switchboard assembly, which used a TelBrinTel proprietary interface more specialized than regular [[dataport]]s, and a trio of data wheels with extendable probes. These wheels spun from socket to socket, extending and retracting their probes in a blur of motion making connections with the switchboard and retrieving requested information from the city's or corporation's central mainframe via twin ceiling-support connection cables. Final results could be downloaded onto a [[Datapad/Legends|datapad]], printed on [[Flimsiplast/Legends|flimsiplast]] or delivered through the droid's [[Vocabulator/Legends|vocabulator]].<ref name="EGD" />

TT-40 droids were prohibitively expensive early in their production, but were often subsidized by governmental programs or large businesses to further education. A fee was sometimes charged in cases of particularly lengthy search sessions or when accessing data from restricted archives. While the droids had personalities, they had no interest in anything other than information retrieval and were known only by their official title, such as "Recorder of Assignments and Transactions for the Supervisor's Committee." They could be brusque to those who weren't sufficiently bureaucratic in their requests and no attempt was made by TelBrinTel to improve on their officious nature.<ref name="EGD" />

==History==
During the [[Black Fleet Crisis]], [[Luke Skywalker/Legends|Luke Skywalker]] and his companion [[Akanah Norand Goss Pell|Akanah]] encountered a TT-40 in the city of [[Griann]] on [[Teyr/Legends|Teyr]]. Using the droid to access the Teyr Central Directories, they were able to narrow their search for the [[Fallanassi/Legends|Fallannassi]] down to the city of [[Sodonna]].<ref name="EGD" />
