G2 repair droids are loved & hated with equal measures of passion. Their intellects are so acute that they make wonderful conversationalists, but this same quality leads to a flightiness that makes them unreliable in their primary jobs. SoroSuub introduced the G2 series in the decade following the Clone Wars. The droids are short & squat, with a wide bottom-heavy stance that forces them to waddle when they walk. This trait, combined with their long, multi-jointed necks, resulted in the nickname "goose" droids. Each G2 unit has a stripped-down skeletal frame with exposed joints & wiring. Their three-digit manipulators can grasp most repair tools, while their splayed feet aid in stability. The G2's most recognizable feature is its binocular head, containing a vocabulator, two auditory sensors, & photoreceptors with telescopic, microscopic, & multi-spectrum capabilities. Each droid bears a unique ID number stenciled onto the side of it's head. SoroSuub soon discovered that Goose droids gravitate toward excessive chattiness. This feature appeared to be hardwired into the behavioral circuitry matrix & could not be eliminated with memory wipes. Some customers, mostly family-owned businesses or pilots of independent starships, found the quality endearing & allowed their droids to accumulate life experience over time.
Eventually a number of these units achieved an advanced degree of independent thought. A sudden explosion wonderlust resulted. In one notorious instance, a team of G2's stole a fueling freighter & set up their own community on an asteroid in the Chrellis system. Large corporations generally had no time for the G2'S foolishness. They returned the units to SoroSuub, shrinking the line's market base & leading SoroSuub to retire the line in 12 A.B.Y. Two years later, faced with a surprising outcry from fans of the G2, SoroSuub reintroduced the line withuch fanfare. Star Tours, a short-lived interstellar sightseeing company, employed a number of G2 units to perform maintenance on its fleet of Starspeeder 3000 shuttles. One droid, G2-4T, oversaw the labor pool & handled ticketing & travel visas. His cynical sense of humor often landed him in trouble. Another droid, G2-9T, possessed an infuriatingly short attention span. Formerly the property of a Troig diplomat, before Star Tours bought him in a "pay-by-the-kilogram" fire sale, he angered the company's organic operators with his spotty work record. When Star Tours closed its doors shortly after the Battle of Endor, G2-4T & G2-9T were cast adrift. They later found employment with the smuggling chief Talon Karrde.
All of this comes from the Essential Guide book published in 2006.
