Supervisor droids, also known as labor management droids, coordinating droids,[2] operations droids,[3] control droids,[4] or overseer droids,[5] were class three droids designed to oversee other droids, but were also used as quartermasters, and as technicians to maintain other droids.[6] One such droid, the Terreene Brainiac class artificial intelligence known as Control, was employed by the Galactic Empire to run their mobile mining operation on the planet Alabash.[4]

Some EV-series supervisor droids manufactured by MerenData had motivators that were actually intended for torture droids, which made them sadistic towards their droid underlings.[7] On the droid moon Uffel, supervisor droids were labeled as "lazy droids".[8] Operations droids were also designed to run functions in a building. HC55-903 was an operations droid that was installed in the systems of 16AA889 Starfield Road to provide for the needs of the residents.[9]

The New Republic used these droids to supply ships by 7 ABY. They were known to have a "quirky" personality, which allowed agents of the New Republic's rival, the Galactic Empire, to place espionage programming within the droids. This happened to one such droid T5-G3, which sent two transmissions from within supply convoys without detection.[10]

Similar to protocol droids, labor management droids were of a humanoid configuration, with two arms and legs; a head; two visual and two audio sensors tuned to the Human range; a vocabulator, AA-1 VerboBrain and TranLang III communication module. They also had a logic dispenser, which would result in additional quirks in their personality if a minor short was subjected to it.[10]
