[edit] Characteristics
It was very hard to tell apart from a real moon moth, a common pest on hundreds of planets. It's operating distance was up to 10 000 meters. Since it was easily overlooked, and often dismissed as a small insect, it was useful as an espionage droid. They obeyed only basic commands, including a self-destruct command. They were also capable of depositing "eggs" on targets, which were actually tracking beacons.
[edit] History
Den Dhur used this device for spying on conversation between Filba the Hutt and Admiral Tarnese Bleyd. Later the Equani spy, Klo Merit used same device to provide the information to the Confederacy of Independent Systems on the planet Drongar. He witnessed the death of Filba the Hutt remotely via the droid. The droid was grabbed by Admiral Tarnese Bleyd as it flew past him. He crushed it within his hand.
Crix Madine used a moon moth droid to track Durga Besadii Tai to the Hoth asteroid field during the Darksaber crisis.
