GTAW-74, also known as "Geetaw", was a masculine welder droid that lived in Niima Outpost on the desert planet Jakku around thirty years after the Battle of Endor. As expert welding could turn a piece of salvage from unsaleable junk to a profitable find, he offered his services in Niima as a welder to scavengers in exchange for inert gas canisters, filler metals, good jokes, or a power recharge. The droid and his mechanical colleague EGL-21 could sometimes be spotted in the shade trading jokes that their customers had brought them. He was equipped with a plasma arc welder torch, brown plating and a shielded faceplate.
