Target drones were used by Luke Skywalker to distract the Imperial forces blockade on the planet of Harix and allow him along with Han Solo, Chewbacca and a large fleet of freighters to land on the planet undetected. Each individual drone was modified to project a false signature of itself and as a result it would show up on most sensors as a ship much larger than it actually was.
Some targeting drones were manufactured by MerenData.[1]
