"Sand is already accumulating in my servomotors and my joints are freezing up!"

―C-3PO

Servomotors, also known as intermotors, limb motors, or movement/balance processors, were motors used in droids for movement in their limbs. The droid bounty hunter C-21 Highsinger was equipped with state-of-the-art servomotors that gave him the skills of a martial artist. Servomotors were also used by organic lifeforms, in cybernetic replacement for lost limbs. During a battle aboard the sail barge Khetanna, the back of Luke Skywalker's prothestic hand got blasted, tearing away the polymer skin and revealing damaged servomotors and wires inside. Decades later, the servomotor was still in use, being used by the bounty hunter Rothgar Deng.
