Hover guard
- "Their Guardian is attacking!"
"Don't worry, you fool! The hover guards will take care of him!" - ―Vlix Oncard and Tig Fromm, being attack by a disguised C-3PO
The hover guards[1] (also spelled hoverguard)[3] was a series of sentry droids produced during the early years of the Galactic Empire. They resembled large flying insects, and each was equipped with a tiny repulsor engine for propulsion. A pair of sensor eyes were located on a hover guard's front panel, and a light stunning blaster hung down from either side.[1] Tig Fromm, an Annoo-dat Blue gangster, used three such units as bodyguards.[2]
