DESCRIPTION
TAB droids were created by Ova Ziss to help protect the various asteroid mining facilities that he oversees in Dantooine. When Mandalorian pirates began sniping at Ziss's mining barges and miners, he formulated and then deployed TAB droids to take out the pirates or to arrest them and bring them to the authorities. TABs help bring autonomous peace to the Dantooine Space Station. In addition, TAB Droids are used by United Trade Authority mining barges to assist in extracting the resources without subjecting humans to the awful conditions that are often found in mining space.
