8D smelter droid

This droid was built by the Verpine species, specifically by the Roche Hive.

8D was orignally built to work in blast furnaces that reached up to 1,650 degrees centigrade. These droids would work in furnaces that were too hot for humans and other species to be in due to the intense heat.

The droid itself is very simplistic in design, much like the Verpine themselves. A big drawback is that it's eyesight is very poor.

One 8D8 of note worked in Jabba's Palace as a torture working under EV-9D9. 8D8 Despised his supervisor yet it worked diligantly and dismantled many droids in his career at Jabba's Palace.
