Em Star Wars, quais eram as pequenas coisas de carros irritantes que faziam barulhos barulhentos em Star Destroyers?

Eles eram dróides de reparo da série MSE-6 .

Eles são dróides de uso geral usados para manutenção e entregas. Eles também eram comumente chamados de Droides de Rato.

The MSE-6 stood about 25 centimeters tall and ran on four wheels. Although programmed with multiple capabilities, the droid was designed with only a singular function. A modular circuit matrix was installed beneath the droid's boxy shell, and contained programming for one skill. Commonly, mouse droids carried out cleanup and basic repair duties, and could serve in security and communications fields. Since each droid possessed only a single skill, multiple mouse droids could chain together to pool their resources for more complex assignments. Trains of MSE-6 droids could often be seen guiding troops through military installations; this kind of duty required mouse droids to be programmed with complete readouts of their assigned areas. In addition, due to their use in military outposts, MSE-6 units were rigged to melt down if captured, giving the droids a strong self-preservation instinct.

De acordo com a novela Junior para "A New Hope", os droides em questão são > dróides MSE-6 . Sua função principal é evidentemente transportar documentos e ordens, presumivelmente onde essas ordens não pudessem ser facilmente transmitidas ou onde pedidos físicos (em formato documental) precisassem ser feitos pessoalmente:

They were heading for a lift tube that would carry them to level five when Chewbacca saw a small MSE-6 droid move toward them. The box-shaped droid traveled on four wheels and was used to deliver orders and documents. Chewbacca roared at the droid for no other reason than he felt like it. The droid shrieked and raced away from him. Chewbacca looked at the stormtrooper to his left — Luke — and barked with amusement.

Curiosamente, a primeira referência a eles como "dróides MSE-6" em uma fonte canônica, era da Star Wars: Absolutamente tudo o que você precisa saber o livro de fatos e o nome foram então incorporados na novela júnior em uma data posterior.

O banco de dados oficial se refere a eles como " Mouse Droids " e tem o seguinte para oferecer sobre sua função :

Mouse droids performed simple tasks aboard starships and in military and corporate facilities. They beeped to themselves as they performed small repairs, delivered messages and guided visitors. occasionally exploding into panicked squeals when confused or frightened.
