"Z9 says he cannot make contact with anyone."

- Wilhuff Tarkin

Z9 was an astromech droid owned by Captain Wilhuff Tarkin of the Galactic Republic's Grand Army during the Clone Wars. He was present aboard the aboard the space station Valor during the Republic strategy conference. When a Venator-class Star Destroyer loaded with rhydonium appeared to be ramming into the space station, Z9 attempted to make contact with the vessel's captain, but to no avail. The astromech later witnessed, along with the rest of the crew on board, the destruction of the hijacked cruiser by D-Squad.
