ET-74 Communications Droid
Developed by Automata Galactica to handle communications in automated facilities and coordinate the efforts of labor droids, the ET-74 communications droid is a multipurpose droid that handles electronic communication and logistics for several different industries. The ET-74 communications droid is programmed with an excellent mastery of computer systems and networks, as well as a variety of data transmission and receiving systems. Additionally, this droid has several routines that enable it to communicate effectively with its biological masters, making it an excellent liaison between a large droid worker force and their living owners.
ET-74 communications droids are smaller and are often found on space stations and capital ships. Though they are no match for a living communications officer, these droids can temporarily replace crew members by manning the communications and sensor stations for a short while. ET-74 droids are put in charge of mining, construction, and excavation droids whose tasks are menial (requiring droids with only a marginal intelligence) but which require coordination to ensure that a task is completed. As a result, some beings confuse ET-74 communications droids for worker droids of various types, though in truth they are merely directing those droids under their charge.
ET-74 communications droids can be played as droid heroes.
