[edit] Characteristics

Outfitted with only a low AI, EG-6’s only function was to provide energy to diverse machinery, starships and other vehicles. Most of the EG-6’s interior was filled out by its fusion generators. Its hull was heavily armored.

There were 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 was also a light power plug-in socket in the face-like unit on the upper half of its front side, that also contained a system diagnostic package and visual sensors as well as an acoustic signaler.

The system diagnostic package included a spectrometer and infrared-, sonar- and x-ray-scanners and was used for equipment checks. Although very rarely used, the EG-6 had a manipulator arm that was hidden under a panel on its lower front side.

[edit] History

The EG-6 was found nearly everywhere throughout the galaxy. Its follow-up model, the S9-series 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] 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.
