Master Machinesmith was a title bestowed upon those individuals who managed to keep hardware operational on Drexel. To many individuals, they were also known as wreckers, since they evolved from the original pirates who were loyal to Quarg's father. Among the foremost contributions was the sonic jammer, a device originally used to ambush starships in the Korteen Belt. The jammer was taken with them to Drexel, where the Master Machinesmiths used to to disable starships in orbit around Drexel, shutting down their propulsion and guidance systems and forcing the ship to crash into the ocean. This allowed the Machinesmiths to acquire much-needed metals for their continued existence.

Fearing he would lose his job to Luke Skywalker and R2-D2, the ship-dwellers' Master Machinesmith tried to murder Luke, but failed. As punishment, Governor Quarg had the man hanged.
