GNK power droid

GNK power droids were an Industrial Automaton knockoff of the successful EG-6 power droid. They were effectively power generators with legs and a very simple AI so they could understand rudimentary commands. They were commonly found on under-developed worlds that did not have an expansive power grid, or in mobile military operations.

They often made a low honking noise that sounds like the word "gonk", resulting in the nickname gonk droid or simply gonk. This form of droidspeak was referred to as "Gonkian".



Sometime after the Battle of Endor, rumors began to spread regarding a "Cult of the Power Droids". Apparently, a duo of GNK Power Droids would come to one's door and request funding for this religious fringe group. Advice from renowned linguist Ebenn Q3 Baobab was that one should merely utter the phrase "Gonk. Gonk. Gonk ko kyenga see," a highly controversial statement that was not allowed to be legally translated (see Baobab Security Directive 51-C).
