Description
Crash test droids are commonly used throughout the galaxy by thousands of governments and corporations alike to test how safe any number of vehicles are during a crash. Crash test droids are equipped with internal sensor devices that record almost every aspect of a crash. Their programming directs them to perform a self-diagnostic (if possible) immediately after a crash and upload them into two separate back-up memory cores (one in the head, the other in the chest) of the droid. Their bodies are built to display the same characteristics as the "average galactic citizen." The Empire used them widely to test various civilian transports (everything
from speeders to bulk freighters) to better insure the safety of Imperial citizens everywhere. In one recorded event, the Empire crewed an entire Victory-class Star Destroyer with crash test droids to attempt to attain a "standardized" emergency-landing technique for such large vessels. The VSD went down on an uninhabited moon (it was remotely piloted from a nearby frigate). Nearly all of the droids on board were "killed" during the crash but a record 1% did survive it. Unfortunately for the Imperial researchers, funds were cut quickly as the Imperial Navy was stunned to see a request for fifteen more VSDs and another 100,000 crash test droids for further study.
