Legend

a prison guard droid originally developed by Arakyd, the G-2RD was another example of the obsession of Arakyd's engineers with repulsorlift technology. Originally produced during the Old Republic and still used during the New Republic, the G-2RD measured 1.2 meters in height, and was equipped with a repulsorlift for locomotion. The G-2RD had a visual/sound sensor suite, a vocabulator, a broadband antenna, a grasping claw, and two weapons appendages - one for stunning and one armed with a blaster. The programming provided to the G-2RD was tough and no-nonsense, and many beings considered them demanding and abusive. They were also nearly impossible to corrupt or reprogram. The only known way to force a G-2RD to abandon its programming was to affix a restraining bolt in just the right position, a technique that was discovered by Han Solo and Chewbacca during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin.
