261

"Where is Droid number 261?"

- A stormtrooper, noticing the droid's absence

Droid number 261 was an R-series astromech droid in service of the Galactic Empire. At some point before the Battle of Yavin, 261 was among the many droids used to maintain operation aboard the Death Star. However, the astromech went rogue, stealing secret documents and escaping in a Lambda-class T-4a shuttle. The Imperials then hired the Trandoshan bounty hunter Bossk, who traced 261 to Tatooine and retrieved it from a clan of Jawas. The rogue astromech was then escorted back to the Empire.
