P-RC3

"Sir, I am a librarian. I am here to assist you in whichever way you deem felicitous."

- P-RC3 upon arriving on the Death Star

P-RC3, also known as Percee, was a librarian droid assigned to the library aboard the first Death Star.

Arrival on the Death Star
Percee was programmed by Lord Alferon Choots Bemming, owner of Bibliotron Systems on Coruscant. Following his construction, he was sent to the Death Star I by Sector Admiral Poteet, where he came into the possession of the station's chief librarian, Atour Riten.

Work with Atour Riten
Percee's work at the Death Star's library included dealing with complicated data retrieval issues, which he could solve much faster than any human. Percee was also an assistant to Chief Librarian Atour Riten, and occasionally made tea for the librarian.

Shortly after receiving the droid, Atour modified the droid's programming to disable the droid's spyware, which would have required it to report anything remotely illegal to Imperial authorities, and change its loyalty model to put Atour's well-being above the good of the Empire. Furthermore, any attempt by Imperial authorities to bypass Atour's modifications would cause a complete memory wipe of Percee, destroying any evidence the droid might carry of Atour's illegal activities.

During the rescue of Princess Leia, Percee noticed R2-D2's unusual use of the droid interface plug in a forward bay command office. Using the security cam in the room, Atour and Percee witnessed the discussion between Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Obi-Wan Kenobi, C-3PO, and Chewbacca on how to escape the Death Star and rescue Princess Leia, although with no audio feed Percee was forced to use lip-reading to determine what was being said.

Attempted escape from the Death Star
Following the destruction of Alderaan, a group of people, including Atour, Memah Roothes, Rodo, Villian Dance, Teela Kaarz, Nova Stihl, Celot Ratua Dil, and Kornell Divini, decided to leave the station. Atour's plan, which involved stealing a E-2-T Medical Shuttle, required a redirection of Flight Control communications for a bogus "verification" of orders allowing the shuttle to leave. Atour's original plan was to have Percee remain in the library to take the call; unfortunately, Imperial security agents detected Percee's unauthorized data accesses and took it into custody, forcing Atour to stay behind instead. Percee died with the destruction of the Death Star at the Battle of Yavin, although the investigation by the guards would have certainly tripped the memory wipe anyway.

Personality and traits
P-RC3 resembled a standard bipedal protocol droid for the most part, with a slightly larger head to allow an increased memory capacity. The droid was a metallic blue color with blue photoreceptors. Reflecting its Coruscant background, Percee had a High Coruscanti accent, conveying an upper-crust sensibility.
