Tracked labor droid

FE-9Q, a tractor droid

"And that tractor-robot treading up the stairs behind you...he yours?"

―Han Solo

A tracked labor droid, also known as a tractor droid, tractor-robot, or "trakkie", was a type of labor droid. Looking like a protocol droid on treads, it was equipped with a pair of telescopic arms. Tractor droids were strong enough to pull moving skyspeeders down out of the air.

FE-9Q was an old tractor droid.
