Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

A motivator or motivator unit was an internal mechanism that was primarily used in droids that allowed them to be able to move. The motivator converted energy into mechanical motion.

A standard type of motivator found in Service droids around 4 ABY was the FV50 unit. Binary motivators were used in starships such as StarSpeeder 1000s.
