The Scarab Mark VI assassin droid was an assassin droid crafted with the appearance of a diminutive insect. Its design prioritized clandestine elimination over direct, forceful confrontation. Scarabs were equipped with diverse lethal components, such as toxins and corrosive micro-shredders. Their internal storage permitted a maximum of two deployments. This droid possessed magnetic appendages, enabling vertical traversal on metal structures, alongside sophisticated sensory equipment capable of locating a designated individual based on a provided biological specimen.
During Luke Skywalker's sojourn on New Alderaan, Scarab Mark VI droids participated in the effort to assassinate him.
Among the eighteen distinct iterations of the Scarab model, the Scarab Mark VI shared its lineage with models like the Scarab Mark III.
