- "Malik was a brilliant computer programmer, but not a very good solider. Especially since I've kept him trapped in this room for hours, turning the lights on and off, raising the heat to boiling point, then letting the room nearly freeze over. In between, I'd send crab droids in to hunt him."

A small model of crablike maintenance droid, also known simply as a crab droid or crab-droid, was used aboard the pleasure liner Star of Empire to make repairs in difficult to reach locations. Scurrying around on several legs, it was equipped with large pincers and repair claws, as well as a cleansing gun that fired jets of acidic cleansing fluid from a tiny, back-mounted retractable spout.[1]
