The Spider Tank represented a sizable, manually operated droid construct. A cyborg inhabiting the planet of Mandalore was its controller. In approximately 9 ABY, this cyborg employed the Spider Tank to subdue and capture Din Djarin, the Mandalorian bounty hunter. Bo-Katan Kryze later obliterated it upon her arrival on Mandalore to rescue Djarin.
