3B6-RA-7, nicknamed "Threebee," was a personal-assistant droid that worked as a spy, care-giver, and farmhand, serving masters as diverse as Moff Dunhausen and the moisture farmer Sholh Dorr. Originally in the possession of the Imperial Security Bureau, 3B6-RA-7 was programmed to work as a protocol and spy droid simultaneously, resulting in mass incompetence while fulfilling the former duties. Hoping to keep tabs on the Moff, the Bureau presented the droid to Dunhausen, who quickly tired of 3B6-RA-7's ineptitude. Rumors about the RA-7 line being used as spies persisted, and soon enough Dunhausen sought to dispose of the droid.

On Tatooine, 3B6-RA-7 was captured by the Jawa Jek Nkik, and constant attempts were made to sell him off to the customers of the scavenger race. The attempts failed, and 3B6-RA-7 would become a mainstay of Nebit's sandcrawler, deriding and mocking any newcomers the Jawas managed to steal. Eventually, he was sold to aging farmer Sholh Dorr at the annual Droidfest. Over time, 3B6-RA-7 began to genuinely care for Dorr, but was nonetheless passed on once more, when the farmer decided to sell him at Eport. By that stage, 3B6-RA-7 was a collectors' item, since most of the other droids of his make had been destroyed at Yavin, when the Death Star had been destroyed.
