Scarab Droid
a small, beetle-shaped droid developed for Emperor Palpatine by Sienar Intelligence Systems, a scarab droid could infiltrate most places like a normal insect. The Scarab was produced in order to avoid any legal hassle involved with hiring trained assassins to eliminate Palpatine's enemies. These palm-sized, arachnoid automatons could be programmed to seek out specific targets and deliver a venomous bite. There were some eighteen distinct versions of the Scarab Droid produced, with spines, claws, and shredders serving as the primary weapon on each version.
