PK Worker Droid
The PK worker droid is one of the cheapest and most common droids in use. Its long neck and eyelike head are recognized across the galaxy. It is widely used for cargo loading and freight handling, but because of its low cost, the PK droid is also frequently used in positions where other more expensive droids would perform considerably better. Although they are only 1.5 meters tall, PK droids are surprisingly strong and agile and are noted for being more intelligent than most other labor droids. PK droids are usually programmed to be aware of their limitations, and one of their more common faults is apologizing excessively. Because of their low cost, parts from PK droids are often used in the construction of more expensive droids, and occasionally PK droids are subject to aftermarket upgrades, usually as an effort to improve their intelligence and to allow them to handle a wider range of tasks.
PK worker droids can be played as droid heroes.
PK Worker Droid Encounters
PKs are the most common droids used in warehouses, loading docks, or large stores. They are most often employed for loading and cleaning. However, their low cost has also led to their use as low-level managers in charge of the day-to-day operations of relatively simple facilities such as warehouses and small shops. Seeing a PK droid working in such a capacity is widely regarded as an indication that the facility is either seriously under-funded or that the people in charge care far more about saving money than providing useful services. Although they are capable of hand ling a wide variety of tasKS, their limited intelligence and programming means that PK droids can easily become confused and sometimes make irrational decisions that they later refuse to change unless ordered to do so.
PK droids are also among the most common personal droids, and are regularly used for jobs ranging from ones they are ideally suited for, such as household cleaning and low-level maintenance, to unlikely tasks such as short-term childcare or acting as a butler. Using a PK worker droid as a servant droid is often considered an indication that the owner is someone who lacks either taste or money.
