An astromech droid and a T3-series utility droid
- "That barve got drilled a coupla months ago. Right outside the door. I had a pair of rehab droids scrubbing the burn mark for two whole standard time periods, and it still didn't come out."
- ―Wuher
Cleaning droids, also known as utility droids or janitor droids,[2] were the predecessors of astromech droids used around the time of the Jedi Civil War. These small droids were widespread during their prime. Almost all were under one meter tall. They were equipped either with wheeled legs or small repulsorlift generators for movement.[3]
Wuher assigned a pair of rehab droids to clean up the scorch mark on the outside of the cantina left over from the death of Codeq Santhananan.[1]
The term "utility droid" was used for many different models that varied widely in form and function. Some of them, particularly the Duwani Mechanicals models, were at times referred as "astromech droids." Some models were used for advanced applied physics functions such as starship repair, astrogation, and even computer slicing and programming. Others performed more menial tasks such as janitorial duties and waste disposal.[3]
