Summary

An astromech droid, sometimes shortened to just an astromech and also referred to as an astro droid, was a droid that served as an automated mechanic, performing a variety of repair duties and often serving as an adjunct or substitute for a nav computer on smaller starships. Astromech droids could also use the mainframes of larger ships to their advantage.
Many starfighters relied on astromech co-pilots to assist with navigation, in-flight maintenance and repairs, power management and even fire contol.
