GNK power droids, also known as gonk droids, were an Industrial Automaton knockoff of the successful EG-6 power droid. GNK power droids were effectively power generators with legs and simple artificial intelligence so they could understand rudimentary commands. They were most commonly found on under-developed worlds that did not have an expansive power grid, or in mobile military operations. They often made a low honking noise that sounded like the word 'gonk', resulting in the nickname gonk droid or simply gonk.
