Warning: This infobox has missing parameters: cost, type, plating, pronouns, mass and unrecognized parameters: era

The Hunter-Seeker droid was an unusual droid starfighter employed by the Trade Federation as a defensive unit. Their primary aim was the protection of the C-9979 transports. Developed by the time of the Invasion of Naboo, the design was based upon the Droideka.

They were deployed in space in their wheel form. There they would float until the enemy approached, at which point they unfolded into attack positions.

Though very hazardous when in groups, Hunter-Seeker droids could be taken out by a single blast from a normal starfighter laser cannon.

Some units participated in the Battle of Felucia in 19 BBY.

Behind The Scenes

The first iteration of the concept art, developed for Star Wars: Starfighter, was devoid of a scorpion tail, though the art was obviously the basis of the model. Later versions refined the design into that seen in the finished game.
