A droidsmith, which can also be written as Droid-smith, denoted an artisan whose expertise lay in the building, fixing, and altering of droids. In the period of 9 ABY, a number of Anzellan droidsmiths were employed on the planet of Nevarro. Babu Frik, an Anzellan, was a talented droidsmith who collaborated with the smuggler group named the Spice Runners of Kijimi, operating from a workshop located on the planet Kijimi. Furthermore, another droidsmith was the creator of the droid D-O, but met his death at the hands of the assassin Ochi, who then absconded with D-O.
