Astromech droid/Legends

"You astromechs think very highly of yourselves, just because you can pilot starfighters."

- C-3PO

Astromech droids were a type of droid that served as automated mechanics, performing a variety of repair duties and often serving as adjuncts or substitutes for nav computers on smaller starships.

Larger starships usually carried a large complement of these in case of malfunctions or combat damage, while some snubfighters (notably the T-65 X-wing starfighter and Naboo N-1 starfighter), carried a droid in a special port for in-flight field repairs. Astromech droids had, in some cases, also been known to carry out light janitorial duties, and several instances of slicing carried out by these droids have been known, though this often required the installation of special programming.

Most astromechs were only able to communicate in writing, conveyed via another computer system, or through binary, a special code of clicks, bleeps, and similar sounds.

Since long before the Clone Wars, Industrial Automaton was by far the most successful manufacturer of astromech droids. They made the R-series of astromech droids, ranging from R1 to R9.

The most famous astromech droid was R2-D2, an IA R2-series astromech droid.
