BT-1

"Bleeep! Bleeep! Bleep!" "No, BT-1! No! You can't possibly do that. They are our masters! Also, who would clean up the mess?"

- 0-0-0 persuades BT-1 not to attack Darth Vader and Doctor Aphra

BT-1 was a homicidal BT-1 assassin droid created by the Galactic Empire's Tarkin Initiative. The droid was designed to look like an astromech droid in order to fool others, and was armed with a variety of weapons. BT-1 killed the staff of the Tarkin Initiative base it was created in and then set the base to self destruct before jettisoning itself into space. It was found by the rogue archaeologist Doctor Aphra, who could not reactivate the assassin droid as she could not speak the R&D language the droid was programmed to understand. After Aphra reactivated the protocol droid 0-0-0, another Tarkin Initiative droid, she had the protocol droid reactivate BT-1. Instead of giving the two droids to the Droid Gotra, as she had originally been hired to do, the archaeologist put them in the service of Sith Lord Darth Vader, who had tracked her down to demand her services.
