Drone

A drone was an unmanned aircraft. Governor Koong of Tawntoom Province on the planet Roon used drones to attack his enemies. In one skirmish, Koong sent a pair of drones after the escaped prisoners Mungo Baobab, Auren Yomm, C-3PO, Lin-D, and R2-D2, who had fled in a lifeboat. Although the drones destroyed the lifeboat's motor and sail, incapacitating Lin-D in the process, Baobab shot them down with the boat's laser cannon.
