Dormant Sentry

Dormant sentries were a category of security droids often used to protect Jedi enclaves, temples, and record vaults. As their name suggested, dormant sentries remained inactive until they were alerted by an unauthorized individual attempting to access the structure they were protecting. Most dormant sentries were humanoid in design and were armed with vibroblades, though there were also spider-like dormant sentries equipped with automated laser cannons. Dozens of Jedi installations across the galaxy were protected by dormant sentries, which proved to be a bane in the operations of many treasure hunters.
