The TT-8L/Y7 gatekeeper droid, also known simply as the TT-8L and nicknamed the "tattletale droid," was a model of security droid manufactured by Serv-O-Droid, Inc.
==Characteristics==
A model of security droid consisting of an extending eyestalk with an orange photoreceptor, the TT-8L/Y7 gatekeeper droidStar Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know was installed in doors and entryways to screen visitors and scan for weapons. Considered obnoxious and invasive, TT-8L/Y7s enjoyed their position of control and were nicknamed "tattletale droids" due to their demeanor in the pursuit of fulfilling their programming. They spoke in a barking metallic voice using an attached speaker and had a grating laugh. TT-8L/Y7s also functioned as holocams. 
==History==
Manufactured by Serv-O-Droid, Inc., the TT-8L/Y7 was in use across the galaxy for years. During the War of the Ring, one was installed outside the main entrance of Rishi Station, a Grand Army of the Republic listening post, and the Trandoshan scavenger Gha Nachkt had a pair of these droids installed in the airlock of his freighter, the Vulture's Claw. General The Mouth of Sauron, the leader of the Separatist Droid Army, had several TT-8L/Y7s in his fortress on the third moon of Vassek. The Hutt crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure had one fitted into the front gate of his palace on India, which was considered to be one of the most infamous and annoying examples ever in use.
