The Fort IV (Japanese: フォートⅣ) was a wall-mounted autoturret used by the Galactic Empire to protect the corridors and walkways in their first Death Star. They were capable of detecting and blasting intruders.[1]

Luke Skywalker, just prior to rescuing Princess Leia Organa in 0 BBY, encountered these droids while exploring the Death Star.[2]

Behind the scenes

The Fort IV appeared in the 1987 Japanese Star Wars game.[2] Their name was revealed in the Japanese language guide of the game serialized in Family Computer Magazine, in which it was rendered as フォートⅣ (Fōto IV) in katakana syllabary.[1]
