General Whorm Loathsom and Nuvo Vindi were each known to possess one of these droids . Characteristics . The droids had a high voice and spoke in either an odd language , consisting of changing high and lower pitch , or in Basic . The model had ear - like attachments on the head that could be used to hold a hologram transmission projector . They were also known to use their hands to dust off seats that their master was about to sit on . One of their common tasks was to fetch refreshments . Others were used as waiters , or for carrying luggage . Much like certain protocol droid models , assistant droids seemed to have somewhat cowardly personalities , due to their self - preservation programming . They would often attempt to run or hide during violent altercations . However , when backed into a corner they could turn violent if threatened . For instance , Nuvo Vindi ' s servant droid , LEP - 86C8 , lashed out at Padmé Amidala while securing a virus bomb . More proof assistant droids have self - preservation programming is that during the battle of Christophosis , Loathsom ' s servant would prefer to ride in the inside of Loathsom ' s tank instead of the exposed commander ' s hatch in the tank . However , it was possible to modify the droid to make it more aggressive and allow it to fulfill a bodyguard role . This involved upgrading the shell to make the droid sturdier and installing a blaster pistol . History . The LEP - Series was originally designed for childcare and was well received . Unfortunately , a design flaw in the locking storage on the droid caused children to become trapped and this greatly damaged the company ' s image . They then changed their approach and marketed the droid as a servant droid , a role which it also excelled in . The droids were built on the manufacturing world Teagan along with PK - series worker droids during the Clone Wars . At some point , Whorm Loathsom received an assistant droid and kept it nearby during the Battle of Christophsis . Soon , this droid could only watch helplessly as General Obi - Wan Kenobi captured its master seconds before being destroyed . Later , on Naboo , Doctor Nuvo Vindi had his assistant droid , LEP - 86C8 , take a virus bomb back to the bomb containment area . This droid eventually would resort to running away from clone troopers to complete this task and soon end up with only the virus container . The droid figured if he could release the virus , Vindi ' s plot could succeed . The little droid did succeed in releasing the virus , forcing Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker to find a cure . Another unknown unit was present at the Republic Executive Building when it was seized by the bounty hunter Cad Bane . It unsuccessfully tried to escape before being shot and destroyed by one of the bounty hunters . The Mandalorian Duchess Satine Kryze was known to have many of these droids working on board her private yacht , the " Coronet " . There were some on a Coruscant docking bay working for the Galactic Republic . There were also some on Alderaan . Behind the scenes .
