FN-417

"FN-417, hold position!"

- FN-417 receives orders

The First Order stormtrooper FN-417 was one of many deployed to the planet Takodana thirty years after the Battle of Endor to recover the Resistance astromech droid BB-8. As the First Order's forces attacked the castle of the pirate Maz Kanata, where the droid had been spotted, FN-417 moved into the surrounding woods, where the scavenger Rey spotted the trooper. After Rey failed to fire an initial shot from her NN-14 blaster pistol due to the weapon's safety still being on, the stormtrooper fired off one shot before being killed by the scavenger.
