"I will take that."
―The maintenance droid, taking back its power crystal[1]

A maintenance droid operated at the outpost of Port Haileap during the High Republic Era.[1] Around the year 232 BBY,[2] during the High Republic Era, the maintenance droid was present near the starship Steady Wing, which was scheduled to transport a delegation, including Dalnan Ambassador Weft and members of the Jedi Order, to the dedication ceremony of the Starlight Beacon space station.[1]

Before the vessel departed, passenger Avon Starros, an aspiring inventor and the daughter of Senator Ghirra Starros, stole a power crystal from the maintenance droid, wishing to use it in an experiment. Starros escaped with the crystal on a scoot speeder, and the droid chased her through the spaceport, calling out for help. Jedi Knight Vernestra Rwoh used the Force to stop Starros's speeder. The irritated droid took its power crystal back from Starros and stomped back in the direction from which it had come.[1]

Behind the scenes

The maintenance droid appeared in the 2021 novel The High Republic: A Test of Courage, written by Justina Ireland.[1]

  2. SWYT-Logo Star Wars: The High Republic | Announcement Trailer on the official Star Wars YouTube channel (backup link) (Posted on StarWars.com) states that the events of Star Wars: The High Republic, which include the events of The High Republic: A Test of Courage, take place two-hundred years before the events of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace. Since Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates the events of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace to 32 BBY, it can be deduced that the events of The High Republic: A Test of Courage take place around 232 BBY.
