The diminutive, levitating HV-7 loading droid was a utility model employing repulsor technology for the purpose of lifting substantial weights. This innovation negated the necessity for the unwieldy, large bulk-loader droids that had been previously employed. Furthermore, these droids possessed the ability to collapse into a disc shape, thereby minimizing their spatial footprint.
Favored by smugglers, these droids were instrumental in assisting Baktoid Industrial Systems in reshaping its public perception following its involvement in the Clone Wars. During the Second Imperial Civil War occurring in 137 ABY, a number of these units were positioned at the Mon Calamari Orbital Shipyard.
