Hogey the Rougey is a rogue droid and thief who is believed to have frequently visited the mining ship Red Dwarf and was familiar with the crew. Hogey was unlike other rogue droids encountered by the boys from the Dwarf, such as Hudzen-10, or the Rogue Simulants who wanted to kill them on sight. Hogey was much less threatening, even comical to the Dwarfers, at least first; they then quickly found him rather annoying.
