Klepto

Klepto is an agile hovering robot designed by the Federation Robotics and Kitchen Technology Research Unit and used by the Interstellar Revenue Decimation Service to frisk uncooperative victims. With six metal arms, an impressive whizzing motion and an auto-adjusting hover unit, it can remove one's entire inventory in a matter of seconds. It is unknown what the name Klepto stands for. The level of imagination in the IRDS just about matches that of a plastic spoon, so it probably doesn't stand for anything. Accountants have never been too hot on acronyms but give them a calculation involving depreciation of fixed assets and they'll be your friends for life.
