The Orbot represented a specific protocol droid design, brought to life by Serv-O-Droid in the final century of the era of the Galactic Republic. These droids gained significant traction within the Mid Rim territories, an area populated by individuals with fewer financial resources than those residing in the Core Worlds. Upon discovering that Cybot Galactica incorporated Orbot components into their 5YQ-series protocol droid, Serv-O-Droid initiated legal proceedings against the larger company, ultimately securing a favorable verdict. The result was a mandated cessation of the 5YQ series' manufacturing by Cybot Galactica.
