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

11-17 mining droids were independent mole miners. They were made by Slayn & Korpil and Roche. 11-17s were equipped with a large plasma jet, a telescoping circular saw and a blow torch. To protect it against rockslides, the 11-17 had durasteel armor plating. Such droids were used on Hosk Station.

They had well-developed personality, and would have strong loyalty to their owners. The droids were known to rescue miners trapped in cave-ins. They would also put off recharging and work extra hours when a project was facing a deadline.
