"Crawler Commandeers" Episode Guide | Star Wars Rebels - S4 E8

As its name suggests, an ore crawler is a massive vehicle that scours terrain for energy sources. Developed by the Mining Guild, an ore crawler also burns up earth as it searches for raw materials, leaving landscapes and natural habitats devastated. The Empire, through the Mining Guild, uses ore crawlers -- and the slaves within -- to support its factories.

Often outfitted to larger vehicles like an ore crawler, a communications transmitter is a significant signal booster. More powerful communications transmitters can support communique over light-year distances.

Tall with cone-shaped heads, Mining Guild security droids protect the organization's ore crawlers. They have poor audio receptors, however, and are vulnerable to rear attacks.

Seevor is an ore crawler captain, like his father before him. Fearlessly dedicated to the Mining Guild, he hates pirates and will stop at nothing to protect his vessel and family legacy.

Proach, a ruthless Trandoshan, oversees slaves working in the Mining Guild's ore crawlers on Lothal. Wielding an electro-whip, he is an imposing presence and deadly warrior.

Once a leader of the Broken Horn crime syndicate on Lothal, Cikatro Vizago changed his ways (mostly) and now serves as captain of the Rebellion's stolen ore crawler.
