Designed by Pui-ui Implement Products, the PIP Handheld Repair Droid was a handheld droid that was incapable of moving on its own and had to be carried around. Pocket-sized, it could suggest the right tool for any task, and could be used as a datapad or just be a companion. It can be folded closed and stored away easily. It had a built in fire suppression system, arc welder, ship diagnostic systems, and dozens of various physical tools that could be swapped in and out internally.
Grease has developed a personality around the concept of a caretaker. It has assumed the needs of its owner to be its prime directive, even such tasks that have not been requested of it. This results in Grease often flitting about in an attempt to meet any possible task before it is necessary, including menial tasks.
A small floodlight has been installed into Grease's head, allowing this PIP Handheld Repair Droid to illuminate a small area in front of it.
All-Terrain Treads have been installed on this PIP Handheld Repair Droid, allowing Grease to traverse rocky, sandy, or muddy terrains.
Grease could be said to have seen better days. Looking more like the result of a scavenging run than a fully functioning PIP Handheld Repair Droid, its plating is missing in several key locations which leaves its internal circuitry exposed. Wiring flows out of the main chassis before snaking its way back under the next panel along its path. Servos and non-critical systems are laid bare for all to see, but Grease retains its functionality despite this.
