The FA-5 valet droid represented a bipedal droid design. This particular model followed in the footsteps of the earlier FA-4 pilot droid.
These droids functioned as valets, handling baggage and guiding newly arrived individuals towards SoroSuub airspeeders operated by FA-4 units. A number of these droids were used at the docking areas of the Senate Office Building throughout the period of the Clone Wars.
