Bettie-Bot VJ

"You're listening to the Grand Army of the Republic broadcast, the voice of the Outer Rim. This next one goes out to the Mud-Jumpers of the 224th, slugging it out on Mimban. Keep your heads down and your seals tight, boys."

- Bettie-Bot VJ

The Bettie-Bot VJ was a BD-3000 luxury droid responsible for a music program on the Grand Army of the Republic broadcast system of the HoloNet during the Clone Wars. The clone troopers at Rishi station were listening to her show just before the Battle of the Rishi moon in 22 BBY, during which time she dedicated a song to the Mud-Jumpers of the 224th before being shut off as their commanding officer entered the room.

Biography
In 22 BBY, Republic clone troopers stationed at the Rishi station listening post on the Rishi moon tuned in to a program on the Grand Army of the Republic broadcast over the HoloNet during their down time from scanning the region for Confederate forces heading for the planet Kamino. The show was hosted by Bettie-Bot VJ, a feminine-programmed BD-3000 luxury droid. During the program, Bettie-Bot sent a shout out and dedicated her next song to the 224th Mud-Jumpers unit fighting on Mimban. The clones had to terminate the holoprojector broadcasting Bettie-Bot's show to defend against a Confederate assault on the Rishi moon.
