Binary motivators were a type of motivator that found their use in starships like the StarSpeeder 1000, which was a vessel utilized by the Star Tours spaceline. During the time periods of 1 or 0 BBY, the droid captain known as AC-38 tasked the systems analyst C-3PO with repairing a binary motivator that was not functioning correctly on Star Tours Flight 1401, given the protocol droid's comprehension of binary.
