LEP servant droid/Legends

LEP servant droids, nicknamed assistant droids and rabbit droids, were used by Confederate officials and the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars. General Whorm Loathsom and Nuvo Vindi were each known to possess one of these droids.

Characteristics


The droids had a high voice and spoke in either an odd language, consisting of changing high and lower pitch, or in Basic. The model had ear-like attachments on the head that could be used to hold a hologram transmission projector. They were also known to use their hands to dust off seats that their master was about to sit on. One of their common tasks was to fetch refreshments like Tarine tea, which is what Whorm Loathsom's LEP servant droid did during the Battle of Christophsis. Others were used as waiters, or for carrying luggage.

Much like certain protocol droid models, assistant droids seemed to have somewhat cowardly personalities, due to their self-preservation programming. They would often attempt to run or hide during violent altercation. However, when backed in a corner they could turn violent if threatened. For instance, Nuvo Vindi's servant droid, LEP-86C8, lashed out at Padmé Amidala while securing a Virus bomb. More proof assistant droids have self-preservation programming is that during the battle of Christophosis, Loathsom's servant would prefer to ride in the inside of Loathsom's tank instead of the exposed commander's hatch in the tank.

History
At some point, Whorm Loathsom received an assistant droid and kept it nearby during the Battle of Christophsis. Soon, this droid could only watch helplessly as General Obi-Wan Kenobi captured its master seconds before being destroyed. Later, on Naboo, Doctor Nuvo Vindi had his assistant droid, LEP-86C8, take a virus bomb back to the bomb containment area. This droid eventually would resort to running away from clone troopers to complete this task and soon end up with only the virus container. The droid figured if he could release the virus, Vindi's plot could succeed. The little droid did succeed in releasing the virus, forcing Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker to find a cure for the virus. Another unknown unit was present at the Senate Building when it was seized by the bounty hunter Cad Bane. It unsuccessfully tried to escape before being shot and destroyed by one of the bounty hunters.
