The IM-6 Battlefield Medical Droid,[2] also known simply as the IM-6 medic droid,[4] was a model of medical droid manufactured by Cybot Galactica. Like the JN-66 and SP-4 analysis droids, it reused many of the components found in the PK-series worker droid.[1] IM-6s were used by the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. They were included with the emergency equipment carried aboard Low Altitude Assault Transport/infantry gunships,[2] and were used to complement the crews of All Terrain Tactical Enforcer walkers and attend to any injured clone trooper crewmen.[4]
