LE-series repair droid
The LE-series repair droid, manufactured by Cybot Galactica, was an amalgamation of qualities from protocol droids and astromech droids.
History
Although LE-series droids were about four times more expensive than simple repair droids such as the WED Treadwell repair droid, they were much more universal and easier to communicate with than other models of repair droid.
It could not only repair starships and devices, but also modify these and was an ideal walking tool for starship or stardock maintenance. The droid was also able to install the cargo in cargo holds, help with docking operation or pilot swoop bikes, landspeeders, or airspeeders. With the proper programming, it could skillfully control even a medium-sized starship. The protocol abilities allowed LE-series droids to establish contact with spaceport personnel and find the best way to avoid any unnecessary bureaucracy.
The droid itself had specialized sensors and scopes, a broadband antenna, and a hologram recorder and projector. It also knew a large variety of tools, starships and other vehicle types and huge amount of parts suitable for them. The skeletal body composition allowed LE-series droids to squeeze inside even the tightest places in almost every type of machinery.
The LE-series droid was very popular among spaceport crew members (as a part of staff) and pilots (as co-pilots and counterparts). Many owners gave their LE-series droids names based on their serial numbers.
