C8-42-GE3

"Ha! I guess that droid is really going to serve his master tonight!"

- Canderous Ordo

C8-42 was a protocol droid on Dantooine during the time of the Jedi Civil War. He belonged to the husband of Elise Montagne; after his death, he was left to Elise, who began to treat the droid as if he were her late husband. C8-42 deemed this unhealthy, and attempted to commit suicide by letting kath hounds destroy him. Montagne entreated Revan to find him and bring him back.

The redeemed Jedi found the droid and killed the hounds that attempted to destroy it. When asked, Revan destroyed the droid, who had decided that this would end Elise's obsessive relationship and allow her to meet new people. When she heard that her droid had been destroyed, Elise ran to the nearby Jedi Enclave for comfort. There she would meet Samnt, a more healthy date.

Behind the scenes
"I don't think I ever felt so bad for a droid before."

- Carth Onasi

The player controlling Revan has several choices: ignore Elise's request, send C8-42 back to Elise, destroy C8-42 and tell Elise that the hounds did it, or destroy C8-42 and tell Elise that the droid is still out there.

If the player tells Elise that the droid was nowhere to be found, she runs out onto the dangerous plains to find him. This is a definite dark-side-oriented action.

The player can also convince C8-42 to return to Elise, saying that it would affect her greatly to lose her droid companion. As a result, Elise's unhealthy relationship with C8-42 continues and she does not meet Samnt.
