Supervisor droid

Legends Canon version → Linked from 57 articles

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

Supervisor droids, also known as labor management droids, coordinating droids, operations droids, control droids, or overseer droids, were class three droids designed to oversee other droids, but were also used as quartermasters, and as technicians to maintain other droids. 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.

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. On the droid moon Uffel, supervisor droids were labeled as "lazy droids". 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.

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.

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.
