12-series traffic control droid
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
The 12-series traffic control droid was a series of traffic controller droids produced by SoroSuub Corporation. These droids were humanoid in stature, with many similarities to the 3PO-series protocol droids.
[edit] History
The 12-series was produced to replace organic traffic controllers, whose bodies and minds could tire and thus enable accidents. One of their main characteristics was a large floodlight mounted on the torso, which could be used as a beacon to guide ships in.
The 12/b sub-series recycled the 12 body but with less mental power. It was sold as a basic worker drone.
12-4C-41 was a traffic control unit of this model who worked at Cloud City on Bespin.
