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

The Scarab Mark VI assassin droid was an assassin droid designed to look like a small insect. It was one of the eighteen variants that comprised Sienar Intelligence Systems' scarab droid line. They were designed to kill through stealth, not brute force.

It had enough capacity for 2 uses. The droid had magnetic feet which allowed it to climb metallic surfaces and advanced sensors that would allow it to track a specific target if it was supplied with a sample of biological fluid.

Scarab Mark VI droids were used in the assassination attempt on Luke Skywalker during his stay on New Alderaan.
