Homing droid



Homing droids were small droids used as tracking devices by the Galactic Empire. One such droid was placed on the 'Millennium Falcon on the orders of Darth Vader before the ship left the Death Star I, allowing the Imperials to follow the ship to Yavin 4]. At [[Massassi Station, the unwelcome guest was discovered by R2-D2 and C-3PO, whom it eluded and attacked with defense drones.  It tried to destroy the Station's power generator, but was finally destroyed by C-3PO, whom caught it between two closing blast doors, slicing the droid in half.
