KM1 mining droid

The KM1 mining droid was a droid designed for mining and excavation of valuable ores.

Characteristics
The KM1 was short and crab-like in appearance. It was very sturdy and included a shield generator to protect it from environmental hazards. They were not considered particularly intelligent, but were very knowledgeable in terms of mining. They had 2 laser cutters, which could be used to cut up rock or for self-defense. It cost 21880 credits new.

A heavy-duty excavation version of the droid has upgraded heavy laser cutters and neutronium armor.

History
The KM1 was used extensively during the Old Republic era. Many were used to extract fuel at the Peragus Mining Facility. They usually operated in small groups, and were overseen by an organic or droid supervisor. Duwani built several variants of the mining droid on the KM1 chassis for specific mining operations.
