Homeworld: Cyrillia Species: Droid Height: 1.19 meters Type: Repair droid Affiliation: Podracing

Small bundles of preprogrammed urgency, pit droids always seem eager to enact any and all repairs that must be made, whether requested to or not. On planets were the dangerous and often outlawed sport of Podracing is allowed, pit droids are an integral part of the racing team. It is the versatile pit droid that maintains the massive engines and streamlined cockpits. The droids are just over a meter tall and come in a variety of colors. Capable of lifting many times their own weight, the droids' strength is legendary.

Podracing is extremely dangerous, as is maintaining the speedy vehicles. In the hectic pace of a race, safety comes in second place to winning. As such, the cheap and expendable pit droids often bolt out onto the racetrack to repair still cycling superheated engines with no regard to their personal safety.

When not in use, pit droids fold up into a compact package. They spring to activation when needed. A tap on the nose signals the droid to collapse back into stowed mode and rest.
