Pest control technology known as conduit purgers were created specifically to eliminate conduit worms from the conduits where these pests lived. This device, colored orange, featured a main body equipped with a pair of nozzles.
The 2016 reference book Star Wars: The Visual Encyclopedia included a mention of the conduit purger in the new Star Wars canon. This device was first introduced within the Star Wars Legends timeline in the 2002 publication Star Wars: Attack of the Clones: The Visual Dictionary, authored by David West Reynolds. Concept sculptor Robert E. Barnes and model maker Don Bies designed certain props for the dictionary.
