"This is beginning to look like an adventure. I detest adventures."

- DV-9 on D'vouran.

DV-9, also known as Deevee, was a research droid built by the anthropologist Mammon Hoole to function as his assistant.

Working with Hoole
D-V9 was designed by Hoole at some point prior to 0 BBY. The two traveled to Tatooine, where Deevee recorded the call of a Krayt dragon. Later in his life, he spoke of a desire to see the dead world of Kivathat he had possessed since shortly after he was programmed.

Adventures on D'vouran
"This is beginning to look like an adventure. I detest adventures."

- DV-9 on D'vouran.

After the destruction of Alderaan by the Death Star, DV-9 spent much of his time as a personal tutor for Hoole's now orphaned niece and nephew, Tash and Zak Arranda, much to his dismay. Soon after Hoole adopted the Arrandas, Deevee and the group were ripped out of hyperspace en route to the planet D'vouran. Upon landing on the planet,they were greeted by the indigeneous and seemingly friendly Enzeen, including Chood. Chood escorted the group to the local cantina, the Don't Go Inn. Once there, they were held at blaster point by Smada the Hutt, who had had a long standing grudge against Hoole. The group were saved by the timely intervention of the Heroes of Yavin.To his misfortune, DV-9 was forced to listen to the droids C-3PO and R2-D2 as they related to him their misfortunes on Tatooine, while the organics of the two groups talked

The following day, while watching over Tash as she spoke with the local "madman," Kevreb Bebo Tash suddenly ran off with him into the forest with Deeve in tow. Bebo brought her to a secret Imperial laboratory where he tried to warn her that the disappearances on D'vouran were caused by the planet itself, but was interrupted by Deevee and his  pre-recorded krayt dragon roar. After being assured that Tash was in no danger, the two left to alert Hoole about the lab, though not before Bebo gave Tash a pendant that would keep her safe from the planet.

Encountering Chood and some Enzeen on their way back to town, Tash began to greet them but stopped as she watched them suck nutrients from the ground. The Enzeen spotted them and charged, Tash ran far ahead of Deevee, and he was swarmed by Enzeen and left for scrap. A sudden groundquake disrupted the planet which swallowed up most of the villagers. Tash fled to Smada's fortress, where her and the recently captured Zak were threatened with death if they did not reveal the location of Hoole. They were saved by the timely arrival of Deevee, who struggled to the fortress and startled the court with another Krayt dragon roar. The trio fled, with Smada close behind, but ultimately, all four were captured by Chood and the Enzeen, and taken to the Heart of D'vouran. Deevee was deactivated and missed the sunsequent appearance of Hoole, who had been masquarading as an Enzeen, and the ensuing battle, where both Smada and Chood fell to their deaths inside the pit, taking the pendant with them, and causing a massive disruption to the planet. After being reactivated, Deevee and the organics ran to their ship, the Lightrunner only to get trapped in the planets molten surface. They were saved by the timely arrival of the Millennium Falcon. After being tailed by the planet for some time, it devoured itself and the Falcon jumped into hyperspace

Zombie uprising on Necropolis
The Heroes of Yavin dropped Deevee and the group off at the tombworld, Necropolis, so they could purchase a replacement for the Lightrunner. Upon Arriving, the group met the Master of Cerements, Pylum, and a young Necropolitan boy named Kairn. Kairn took them to a local hostel. As they arived, they found the bounty hunter Boba Fett, demanding information on the location of "Doctor" Cornelius Evazan. That night, Zak and Kairn snuck into the graveyard. Zak encountered zombies, and while fleeing found Kairn dead of cryptberry poisoning. Evazan appeared and attacked Zak, but was quickly dispatched by Boba Fett. By that time the commotion had caused Deeve, Hoole, Tash, and a group of Necropolitans to the graveyard to investigate.

The next day, instead of attending Kairns funeral, DV-9 was assigned to find a starship dealer. After the funeral Deevee led them to Meego's Starship Emporium. As Meego pushed a flashy starship on Hoole, Zak wandered off to look at a Helix-class light interceptor, and returned breathless, claiming that he had just encountered the seemingly dead Evazan. The next day, after leaving on an excursion with Tash, Zak dissapeared. Deevee calculated the possibilitys of Zak's location and found him dead, having seemingly poisoned himself with cryptberries. After the funeral, Tash managed to convince Hoole and Deevee that Evazan may have been involved in Zaks death. While Tash and Hoole left to exhume Evazan's grave, Deevee went to pick up the ship from Meego. Once there, Meego revealed that he had accidentally sold the ship to someone else, and suggested that he could sell Deevee another ship....for a few more credits. Deevee, knowing when he was being swindled, suggested that the Helix Interceptor was within their price range, but Meego refused, as it hadn't had its memory wiped yet. Deevee gives a thinly veiled threat, that Hoole's Tal Nami friends would track down Meego if he swindled Hoole. Meego agrees to sell the ship, after considering the threat, and revealing to Deevee that the ship, The Shroud, had been previously owned by Evazan. As Deevee worked on the Shroud's computer, Meego protested that the computer hadn't been erased, but Deevee silenced him with the promise of more credits. Delving through the memory banks, Deevee found a file marked "REANIMATION OF DEAD TISSUE." Reading this, Deevee came to the conclusion that Zak wasn't dead. Leaving the ship, Deevee encountered Boba Fett, who accompianed him to the graveyard. Evazan's plans had already been set in motion, and his zombies were walking the streets. Fett and Deevee made it to Zak's grave, and blasted him out of his coffin. Zak revealed that Evazan was hiding in the Crypt of the Ancients. Deevee followed Fett and Zak to the crypt, but not before scooping up some boneworms, a primary ingredient in Evazan's formulas.

In the crypt, they found Tash and Hoole being swarmed by zombies, including Kairn, with Evazan and Pylum controlling them. Fett opened fire on the zombies and made his way to the equipment table, where he quickly created a serum that would reverse the reanimation process. The formula was

Narrow Escape on Nespis VIII
Deevee later saved Tash's life by intercepting a blaster bolt from Borborygmus Gog. The shot hit the droid in the chest, but did not prove to be fatal and was quickly repaired.

Retirement on Koann
He later served as a research assistant on the planet Koaan.

Behind the scenes
The Galaxy of Fear books continually switch the spelling for Deevee's name between "DV-9" and "D-V9." This article uses "DV-9" for simplicity's sake. DV-9 resembles Ralph McQuarrie's concept art for C-3PO.
