The moon moth espionage droid was a type of spycam developed by Arakyd Industries.

Characteristics

It was very hard to tell apart from a real moon moth, a common pest on hundreds of planets. Its operating distance was up to 10 000 meters. Since it was easily overlooked, and often dismissed as a small insect, it was useful as an espionage droid. They obeyed only basic commands, including a self-destruct command. They were also capable of depositing "eggs" on targets, which were actually tracking beacons.

History

Crix Madine used a moon moth droid to track Durga Besadii Tai to the Hoth asteroid field during the Darksaber crisis.[2]
