RA-7 protocol droid

The RA-7 protocol droid, also known as the RA-7 inventory droid, the RA-7 series protocol droid, the "insect droid" due to its large photoreceptors, and nicknamed the "Death Star droid" due to its use aboard the first Death Star, was a model of protocol droid manufactured by Arakyd Industries. While they had seen use since the Clone Wars, a conflict that saw some RA-7s be built using plating from the competing 3PO-series protocol droid, RA-7s were later produced specially for the Galactic Empire. RA-7s were almost always used as spies, and the droids could also be armed with a blaster rifle.
