"I'm 0-0-0 or Triple Zero, if you prefer. I'm a protocol droid, specialized in in etiquette, customs, translation and torture, ma'am."

- 0-0-0 introduces himself to Doctor Aphra

0-0-0, also known simply as Triple Zero, was a protocol droid designed to specialise in etiquette, customs, translation and torture. Its personality core, the Triple-Zero protocol personality matrix, was created by the Galactic Empire as part of the Tarkin Initiative, but had problems with a few bugs including twitchy coupling, neurocybernetic glitches and the tendency to drain organic beings of their blood. Considered to dangerous for use, the matrix was kept on Quarantine World III in Kallidahin Space, where it was stolen for the Droid Gotra by the rogue archeologist Aphra. The Doctor reinstalled the matrix in a protocol droid body and requested that the droid help her activate the assassin droid BT-1. Instead of giving the two droids to the Droid Gotra as she had promised to do, Aphra gave them to the Sith Lord Darth Vader, who had tracked her down and demanded her services.
