- "I am BNI-393, an LEP servant droid."
- ―BNI-393
The LEP-series service droid,[2] also known as the LEP servant droid, was a model of third class service droid[3] that saw use during the Clone Wars and beyond. Nuvo Vindi, Whorm Loathsom, and Tan Divo were each known to possess one of these droids.[source?] They were capable of speech, either in Galactic Basic or a series of chirps and squeaks and usually in a high-pitched voice, and performed a variety of tasks including serving refreshments and holding datapads.[5][9] The LEP droids were manufactured by Coachelle Automata, a company led by members of the sentient and leporine Lepi species[10] whom they resembled.[11]
They were not designed for combat and would usually flee and hide in the event of hostilities, though they could turn aggressive and lash out if cornered.[12]
Moff Quarsh Panaka several working in his chalet on Onoam. They were destroyed when the chalet was blown up by a bomb, parts of them getting scattered far and wide.[7]
After Bib Fortuna took over Jabba's Palace, an LEP-series service droid served in the Palace as a ratcatcher. It later continued service in the castle following ex-bounty hunter Boba Fett's takeover as Daimyo.[8]
At least two LEP servant droids worked in Takodana Castle[1] in 34 ABY.[13]
Behind the scenes[]
Sounds of LEP servant droids can be heard in the film Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, inside Takodana Castle.[14]
The design of of the droid can be dated back to early concept art by Doug Chiang for Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace.[15]
The LEP prefix derives[source?] from leporine, meaning resembling a hare or rabbit.[source?]

They looked like bunnies and they would carry drinks and stuff. That's Dave Acord's voice, and I put a couple of those in Maz's castle. You don't see them, because the camera view can't see down that far. So that was our logic. But you could still hear them".
