Motivator

Canon Legends version → Linked from 66 articles

A motivator was an important type of device found in droids, such as the R5 series astromech droids like R5-D4 or GNK-series power droid like EG-30, and in starships such as the Millennium Falcon. The droid R4-G77 also had a motivator.

If defective, they could blow out explosively, potentially sabotaging the entire droid. The motivator played a role in deciding the droid's loyalties, with an adjustment to a droid's motivator serving to reprogram its loyalties.
