Scavenger
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
A scavenger or salvager, often abbreviated "scav,"[1][2] was a person or droid whose primary occupation was collecting lost or abandoned items or recovering wreckage from disaster or battle sites.

[edit] History
Some sentient species were predominantly scavengers, such as Jawas, Teeks[3] and Ugors.[4] It was also a common occupation for humans and near-humans.[5] Though many scavengers were honorable, the term "scav" or "scavver" was sometimes used as an insult.[6]
The Jedi Exile encountered some small camps of salvagers on the planet Dantooine, who tried to live by selling the Jedi artifacts they had found in the ruins of the Jedi Enclave in the years after Darth Malak's attack.[5] These salvagers generally held beings with regular jobs in contempt, and would have been particularly pleased if the settlers had been driven off the planet.[7]
Salvage droids were commonly used to collect debris at podraces during the last decades of the Galactic Republic.[8] Other scavenger droids were less benign, and were used by Trandoshans to kill people and "scavenge" their corpses.[2]
Particularly aggressive scavengers operated in the immediate aftermath of the Imperial Civil War, some of whom maintained small private armies to assist in their operations.[9]

- ↑ In Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, if the Jedi Exile takes the dark side path and sides with Azkul, the salvagers remain on the world and gloat about the settlers' loss. It is therefore possible to infer that they would enjoy this turn of events even if it did not canonically occur.
