APA-5 droid were droids used by the Galactic Empire to serve meals in military mess halls. They had limited intelligence and if put into a starfighter would be unable to do anything but keep it in a steady orbit. Kir Kanos took one of them to Yinchorr to keep his Scimitar assault bomber in the orbit.
