Astromech sockets are typically found in starfighters, shuttles, and the occasional airspeeder.
More information about the attachment is available on the Wookieepedia article.
ASTROMECH DROID SOCKET[1][]
Aftermarket astromech sockets can only be installed on ships or vehicles of silhouette 3 or higher. After a lengthy and involved installation process requiring heavy modifications to both the ship's hull and its onboard systems, the ship and pilot gain all the benefits of an astromech droid when one is installed. These benefits range from enhanced damage control to the ability to make hyperspace jump calculations. When installed on larger starships, this attachment represents can represent more than a single socket. These ships often employ an entire bay capable of housing multiple astromechs and deploying them to the outer surface of the ship to aid in repairs.
Models Include: Industrial Automaton Mk. I Astromech Socket.
Base Modifiers: Allows the starship to link to an astromech droid via SCOMP.
Modification Options: 1 Automated droid ejection system Mod.
