"Easily recognized by their distinctive white chassis, First Order sentry droids patrol the regime's starships and military installations alert for intruders and any hint of dissent in the ranks."

―The Galactic Explorer's Guide^[6]

The First Order sentry droid was a white plated model of sentry droid station on the First Order's Starkiller Base superweapon around thirty years after the Battle of Endor. These droids possessed a square or circular head with several antennae protruding from the top, which sat on a body with four short legs ending in rolling casters that allowed the sentries to move easily through the base interiors. Sentry droids also patrolled the corridors of the Resurgent-class Star Destroyer Finalizer.^[2] They also had a series of armaments equipped inside of them, including four tasers and two blasters. These armaments folded out of the droid's chassis as its head extended upwards.^[5] One sentry droid used these armaments to attack Resistance pilot Poe Dameron and spy Kazuda Xiono on Station Theta Black, though it was ultimately destroyed.^[7] Three sentry droids patrol in the supertanker fuel depot Titan.^[8]

Behind the scenes

The First Order's sentry droids first appeared in the film Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, which was released in 2015.^[9] They were not named in the film, but were identified as sentry droids in the reference book Star Wars: The Force Awakens: The Visual Dictionary, which was written by Pablo Hidalgo and released in conjunction with the film.^[2]

The fold-out armaments of the droid first were first depicted in the 2017 video game Star Wars Battlefront II, where it can be deployed as an ability of Captain Phasma.^[5] However, they were originally designed for "Station Theta Black"^[10]—the eleventh episode of Star Wars Resistance's first season—which would not premiere until one year later on December 9, 2018.^[11]

The droid's entry in the Databank erroneously states that the droids' only appearance is in Resistance,^[12] despite its appearances in the Sequel trilogy^[9] and Battlefront II.^[5]
