Hailing from the Star Wars universe, "Gonk droids" are boxy two-legged power droids (basically walking batteries) used to power a variety of machinery and vehicles (the term "gonk" is derived from the onomatopoeia of their vocalizations). Due to their versatility, they are commonly encountered throughout the Star Wars galaxy; Gonk droids appear in the majority of the films and games -- including Jedi Knight series.
In fact, my obsession with them (random as it may be) stems from the second game in the series (the predecessor to the prequel of JA). When I first came upon one of these ambulatory generators, I was rather astonished at its nature; I thought the thing rather bizarre in its shuffling about muttering "Go... Go... Goooord!" (as it sounded to me).
