The KE-8 Enforcer Ship functioned as a mobile patrol craft. It was employed by the Kaminoan cloning experts residing in Tipoca City to detect and segregate irregular clone troopers during the Grand Army of the Republic's development and training phases.
The KE-8 Enforcer Ship, a compact and streamlined vehicle, was a single-pilot, hovering pod used for patrol duties. Positioned beneath the pilot were potent manipulator arms coupled with electroshock stun devices. The craft was propelled through the air by a pair of jets situated on either side of the cockpit.
Within the clone military education complex of Tipoca City, KE-8 Enforcer Ships were utilized. They operated alongside larger Observation Ships and independent enforcer droids to guarantee quality control during the Kaminoan cloning procedures. The Enforcer Ships patrolled the facility to locate and isolate aberrant clones, while those showing exceptional skills were directed to specialized military training elsewhere. The KE-8s connected to the deployment rings and recharging stations through an access hatch, monitored by high-ranking Kaminoan security personnel from a command center. The activities of these vessels, along with their communications with Observation Ships, were monitored via computer terminals and control stations.
Comparable vessels, lacking the manipulator arms and electroshock devices of the KE-8, served as repair and maintenance droids on the military complex's maintenance level.
The KE-8 Enforcer Ships were actively in service during Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi's visit to Tipoca City in 22 BBY. These vehicles performed their patrol duties as Prime Minister Lama Su and his aide Taun We escorted Kenobi on a tour of the Tipoca City Military Complex.
