The EG-6 series by Veril Line Systems is a ambulatory power droid that can be found nearly everywhere throughout the galaxy. Its follow-up model, the S9 Heavy Power Droid, a larger and more powerful version of the EG-6, was Veril Line Systems’ answer to the GNK power droid made by Industrial Automaton.
The EG-6 that was owned by the Lars family on Tatooine was several hundred standard years old.[1]

[edit] Characteristics
Outfitted with only a low AI, EG-6’s only function is to provide energy to diverse machinery, starships and other vehicles. Most of the EG-6’s interior is filled out by its fusion generators. Its hull is heavily armored.
There are two heavy power plug-in sockets on the right side of the EG-6’s body and a standard power plug-in socket on the lower half of its front. There is also a light power plug-in socket in the face-like unit on the upper half of its front side, that also contains a system diagnostic package and of course visual sensors and an acoustic signaler.
The system diagnostic package includes a spectrometer and infrared-, sonar- and x-ray-scanners and is used for equipment checks. Although very rarely used, the EG-6 has a manipulator arm that is hidden under a panel on its lower front side.
[edit] Behind the scenes
- A different version of the EG-6 can be seen in The Phantom Menace, and it was often mistaken for the GNK power droid.
