Mos Eisley Mourners

The Mos Eisley Mourners were four DX-series war droids hidden at Mos Eisley by Jabba the Hutt as a fail safe against his possible assassination.

History
Ancient, pre-Imperial droids, the Mourners were pre-programmed with instructions to kill anyone on a list of Jabba's enemies who the Hutt viewed as possible instigator to an assassination, starting with the most recent. Some of the potential victims of the droids were Eugene Talmont, Bib Fortuna, Lady Valarian and the Rebel cell leader Jun Seros.

They intoned repeatedly the following chant: "We mourn for the exalted Jabba. We cry for the magnificent Jabba. We grieve for the illustrous Jabba."

Seros called in the help of visiting Rebel operatives to take out the droids, aided by stormtroopers, local police and some of Valarian's goons.

The droids were armed with rectractable vibro-ax]es, a pair of [[heavy repeating blasters, and covered with armor.
