Protocol droids are vital in smoothing differences encountered by the many farflung cultures interacting on a regular basis throughout the galaxy. Programmed in etiquette and equipped with formidable language skills, protocol droids assist diplomats and politicians and also serve as administrative aides and companions for high-ranking officials. They come in as many shapes and sizes, but most are humanoid, like the company they keep. C-3PO and TC-14 are examples of protocol droids.
