Maintenance droid

A4-G2, a G2 repair droid

"Maintenance droids are such useful things to have around."

―Talon Karrde

Maintenance droids, also known as repair droids, were class two droids that performed simple to complex cleaning, repair, and general maintenance tasks such as repairing fellow droids. A pit droid was a type of repair droid that maintained podracer vehicles. The T3-series utility droid, BLX labor droid, WED Treadwell repair droid, the MSE-series droid, and astromech droids such as the R-series were used as repair droids.

R2-D2 was an astromech droid aboard a Naboo star cruiser, was rewarded for emergency maintenance on the ship's deflector shields, and was the only repair droid to survive the task.
