The orbital tech-support droid, also known as the directional droid, was a type of droid designed to provide assistance to Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptors when they were docking with hyperspace transport rings. These droids were equipped with yellow lights, which would change to green once the transport ring achieved the proper alignment, signaling the pilot that they could proceed with their departure. As Obi-Wan Kenobi, a Jedi Master, left Coruscant en route to Utapau near the conclusion of the Clone Wars, a pair of directional droids aided in aligning his transport ring for his upcoming hyperspace jump.
