When MerenData decided to market a Pilot Droid for clandestine operations, it produced a model that exceeded the average Pilot Droid's equipment and capabilities. Whereas standard Pilot Droids are designed to handle Speeders, Ground Vehicles, and some Starships in the public transport, governmental, or commercial markets, MerenData's GD16-Series is designed for versatility and mission adaptation. As such, it is more expensive than the average Pilot Droid.

The GD16-Series Pilot Droid is designed to pilot virtually any type of Vehicle, from the smallest Speeder Bike to the largest Capital Ship. Since most of the galaxy's Vehicles are designed for organics with two arms and two legs, the GD16 conforms to this general bipedal configuration. The Droid can adapt to any size of cockpit thanks to telescopic arms and legs and an extendable torso and neck. The GD16's double-arm configuration gives it a marked advantage over organic pilots, allowing it to operate more controls simultaneously. The droid's sensor crown is designed for cockpit use, giving it 360-degree vision and a simultaneous view above the unit. Additional forward-mounted sensors are dedicated to scanning the ship's control board and other system readouts. Finally, the Droid can pilot a ship through a direct computer link, if the ship is so equipped.

These particular two GD16-Series Pilot Droids are utilized by Clone Force 13 as the pilots of their modified Nu-Class Attack Shuttle, known as The Alecto. Their names are GD16-91A and GD16-91B, who are known to the Squad colloquially as "The Twins," which they don't like, and are quite vocal about it. Still, they do their job well, and the Lucky 13th can focus on the tasks at hand.
