Around the year 15 BBY, a trafficker in used technological goods purchased the 3PO-series protocol droid C-3PO and the R2-series astromech droid R2-D2 from researchers at the Baobab Archives, which were located on the planet Manda. The droids had been sent to the archives by their master, Mungo Baobab, to translate engravings he had discovered on an ancient Roonstone, but the researchers found that they did not require the droids' services. Without electronic confirmation of their orders, C-3PO and R2-D2 were sold to the trafficker despite the protocol droid's protests. By 5.5 BBY, the pair belonged to Governor Wena of the Kalarba system.

Behind the scenes
The trafficker in used technological goods was first mentioned in 1999's C-3PO: Tales of the Golden Droid, written by Daniel Wallace and Josh Ling. The character's purchase of C-3PO and R2-D2 served to explain how they left the services of Mungo Baobab, to whom they still belonged at the conclusion of the 1985–1986 television series Star Wars: Droids. The trafficker was later mentioned in 2002's The New Essential Guide to Characters.
