HL-444 hover loader

Legends Canon version → Linked from 9 articles

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

Arakyd Industries HL-444 hover loaders were labor droid deployed on landing platforms throughout Coruscant, assisting in light cargo relocation and droid traffic control with magnetic claws. They could also be found in the Jedi Temple hangars. The model employed a light repulsorlift engine, and required an operator versed in binary in order to function. Seeing in a 360 degree view, the droid could avoid potential obstacles while moving cargo; however it could not see directly above, or below itself.

They were also deployed to hyperspace ring stations, where they assisted in the refueling of Jedi and clone trooper starfighters.

After the purging of the Jedi Temple, HL-444 loaders were used to carry dead Jedi to be cremated on the steps in front of the temple.
