An espionage droid.
One of the more notoriously known examples of espionage droid was the Arakyd Industries RA-7 protocol droid in service aboard the first Death Star.
In 3 ABY, the protocol droid known as K-3PX stationed on Gamandar reported directly to Darth Vader on the actions of Admiral Griggor Tower, who had just launched a destructive attack on the planet Iskalon. K-3PX then led a contingent of stormtroopers into the detention block where the Admiral was interrogating the captured Lando Calrissian and Chewbacca, and relieved Tower of his command, placing him under arrest. The stormtroopers obeyed K-3PX's orders without question or hesitation.
