WED-15 Septoid Treadwell

A WED-15 Septoid Treadwell is a fictional robot and a model of droid featured in the Star Wars multimedia franchise. Two such droids made brief appearances in the original 1977 film Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.

Description
The WED-15 Septoid Treadwell is a series model of the WED Treadwell repair droid. They were developed by Cybot Galactica and utilized in outdoor terrains on many Outer-Rim worlds such as Tatooine. These droids were used quite extensively during the years surrounding the Clone Wars. The droids had a small rolling tread chassis, which was ideal for movement across sandy terrain. They also possessed multiple articulating arms that could perform routine functions simultaneously. The central body was a cylindrical shaft to house the arms, which terminated in a sensor display for its head.

One series was the WED-15 Septoid Treadwell, which was used by Owen Lars to effect repairs on his moisture vaporators. A similar model, the WED 15 2 Septoid was also employed on Tatooine. One of these droids could be seen when the Jawas first came to the Lars homestead looking to sell their wares.
