GT astromech droids,[2] also known as GT models[3] were a type of astromech droid used by Pathfinder teams.[2] GT-11, a droid that was part of Jedi Master Silandra Sho's pathfinder team,[4] was a GT astromech droid.[1] GT-22 was a GT astromech droid[2] that was a member of the Galactic Republic Outer Rim Exploration Team Outer Rim Expedition Eight-Zero-Seven.[5] Around 379 BBY,[6] the droid Dee-Twelve was stolen by a salmaca that had been raiding the village of Peka for several weeks. When Jerlyn, whose family owned Dee-Twelve, described it to Jedi Padawan Rooper Nitani, who had agreed to help search for the droid, he compared its size and shape to that of a GT model.[3]

Notes and references[]
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 Since the designations GT-11, as given in The High Republic: Quest for the Hidden City,uses the GT prefix, this article assumes it is a GT astromech droid. Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia states that GT-11 is 1.17 meters tall, and Star Wars: The Visual Encyclopedia states that all astromech droids are class two droids.

- ↑ "Shield of the Jedi" establishes that Rooper Nitani is around eighteen years old during its events. In The High Republic: Quest for Planet X, which Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia dates the events of to 382 BBY, Nitani is fifteen years old. Therefore, "Shield of the Jedi" must take place around 379 BBY.
