"Advisory: even if you can't understand gonk droids, they can understand you. Interact accordingly."
―An announcement aboard the New Republic cruiser Temperance[9]

The GNK-series power droid, also known as the gonk droid, was a well-known type of power droid[4] manufactured by Industrial Automaton.[1] They were often referred to as gonk droids in imitation of their honking sound.[4] They can often be seen around Tatooine working on moisture farms or spaceports like Mos Eisley. Gonk droids can also be used as a table to play board games on[10] or to put other equipment like a payment dispenser.[11]

On Jedha, caretakers used GNK droids to transport materials and house data; these droids would sometimes be interred along with their owners. [12] The Alliance to Restore the Republic modified GNK units so that they acted as weapons; once deployed, those droids would march slowly across the battlefield until they collided with an enemy building and explode.[13]

Known GNK droids included 4B-EG-6,[8] Gonky,[7] Gonky of Clone Force 99,[14] and a gray GNK power droid that was present in Jabba's Palace around 4 ABY, where it squealed in pain, as 8D8, under the command of its supervisor droid EV-9D9, lowered a hot glowing iron on the soles of its feet in order to torture it.[15]
