JBLX-24 was a blue- and white-plated humanoid protocol droid[1] that was repurposed as a labor droid[2] to work in the criminal Pyke Syndicate's spice mines on the planet Kessel during the reign of the Galactic Empire.[3] In 10 BBY,[4] JBLX-24 was carrying a case of kesselstone[2] on its back through the mines when it was freed from slavery after its restraining bolt was removed during a slave revolt in the mines started by the droid L3-37.[3]
