The PK-series worker droid was used by the Trade Federation and later the Separatist Alliance.

Labor droids,[1] also referred to as laborer droids,[2] worker droids,[3] were a type of droid designed to perform manual tasks,[1] such as unloading cargo from transports[4][5] or collecting scrap metal into piles.[6]

A model of labor droid known as the PK-series worker droid[7] was used by the Trade Federation aboard[8] the Saak'ak,[7] a modified[9] Lucrehulk-class LH-3210 cargo freighter,[7] during the Invasion of Naboo, and the Federation used labor droids to collect the still-usable remains of B1 battle droids destroyed during the Battle of Naboo.[8]

The ASP-series labor droid was a series of labor droid used on worlds across the galaxy,[1] including Coruscant,[10] Florrum,[6] and Tatooine.[11] An ASP droid designated K0-5D was heavily modified for gladiatorial combat and fought in the sparring pits aboard the Weequay pirate ship Marauder, where he usually emerged triumphant due to his steel-shredding servos and integrated flamethrower, earning him the nickname "Maximo."[12]

A RIC-series general labor droid,[13] a crude model of labor droid[14] also known as a rickshaw droid,[15] designated RIC-920[7] pulled a rickshaw in Mos Espa, a port city located on the desert world of Tatooine,[16] and another RIC was in use on the planet Jakku.[14] Labor droids equipped with repulsorlifts were utilized in a refinery complex located in an asteroid field known as Pressy's Tumble.[17]
