The LE Repair Droid was an ambitious attempt by Cybot Galactica to as its promotional brochure put it "combine the personality of a protocol unit with the utility of an astromech," and while the droids weren`t the spectacular profit makers that the Cybot execs had hope for they did carve out a modist niche.
The first of the LE`s were produced generations ago for use in starports, even though you could by four Treadwells for the cost of one LE. Cybot gambled that ship captains would be willing to pay a premium for droids intelligent enough to interact with port officals and customs inspectors, and they were right. Each of the LE`s stood at height of 1.7 meters tall and sported a skeletal bipedal frame of a sivler-gray durasteel, and though the two armed design couldn`t match the versatility of the spiderlike Treadwell the droids humanoid shape did make it easier to communicate with its biological masters.
The common equippment on the LE included visual and auditory pickups that are attuned to human sensory ranges, a vocabulator, and a holographic projector/recorder system. The droids were also equipped with a broadband transmission antenna that allowed the droid to receive data while working in a sealed repair conduit or on the far side of a crowded hanger bay. When working in concert with the holographic recorder was a series of focusing lenses, permitted the LE to zoom in on distant objects or bring microscopic details into sharp clarity.
The LE Repair Droid`s primary function is starship repair, and they also came factory-installed with extensive databases on hyperdrives, acceleration compensators, artifical gravity, alluvial dampers, and all of the other equipment needed to travel between worlds. Cybot Galactica also planned that many of the LE`s buyers would be for-hire captains so they made the LE a specilist in fixing bulk haulers and stock light freighters, and with additional programming and sufficent on-the-job experience the LE`s can competently manage starfighters, airspeeders, and even Capital ships. Cybot Galactica also equipped the droids with the secondary function to deal with starport personnel and free their owners from annoying red tape, and they are quite crafty at obtaining departure permits and cargo waivers, even sometimes when it means bending the rules a bit.
Even some port offices keep LE`s on staff full-time to use their tallents the ensure that all ariving craft meet lift/mass guidelines and safety regulations
