Good mechanics can repair and maintain ships.Luke Skywalker
Technicians, also called technos, technicos, or mechanics, were people who were skilled in making, fixing and understanding technology. Almost every urban area had some technicians employed at factories, shops and space stations and only the most primitive civilizations went without one.
Podracer mechanics were largely unsung geniuses that could exploit the powerful machines to their fullest capacities.[2]
The Ugnaught Rorand Zuzz was a technician who specialized in medical technology.[3]
Imperial Lieutenant Endicott served as a docking bay technician aboard the second Death Star.[4]
