The LE-series repair droid, a product of Cybot Galactica, represented a blend of attributes taken from both protocol droids and astromech droids.
Despite their higher cost, approximately four times that of basic repair units like the WED Treadwell repair droid, LE-series droids offered greater versatility and ease of communication compared to other repair droid models.
Beyond simply fixing starships and equipment, they could also modify them, making them ideal mobile tools for starship or stardock maintenance. Furthermore, the droid could load cargo, assist with docking procedures, and even pilot swoop bikes, landspeeders, or airspeeders. With appropriate programming, they could even proficiently operate a medium-sized starship. Their protocol capabilities allowed LE-series droids to interact effectively with spaceport staff, navigating bureaucratic obstacles with ease.
These droids were equipped with specialized sensors and scopes, a wide-band antenna, and a hologram recorder and projector. They also possessed extensive knowledge of tools, starships, various vehicle types, and a vast inventory of compatible parts. The skeletal design of LE-series droids allowed them to access confined spaces within almost any type of machinery.
The LE-series droid gained considerable popularity among spaceport personnel (as staff members) and pilots (as co-pilots and partners). Many owners chose to name their LE-series droids using their serial numbers as inspiration.
