"I think something is melting. Free my left leg—the trouble's near the pelvic servomotor."
C-3PO, to R2-D2, aboard the Tantive IV[1]

Servomotors, also called servos, intermotors or movement/balance processors, were motors used to move mechanical parts, such as bodies of droids or cybernetic limbs for organic beings. Some vehicles, such as Imperial Aquatic Terrain Armored Transports, relied on servomotors. Most humanoid droids had a pelvic servomotor to allow them to mimic human movement.

History[]

A "Swimmer" AT-AT stationed on the planet Sedri during the Galactic Civil War in the Sedri aquatic Imperial garrison needed a replacement servomotor during the Sedri civil war. The base's commander, Aban, ordered a new motor, which was delivered by shuttle along with stormtrooper reinforcements for the base, after which it was installed by technicians. With the servomotor installed, the Swimmer was fully functional and deployed during the Battle of Fitsay. The vehicle was destroyed during the attack, however, by a group of Rebels who were aiding the occupants of Fitsay.
