- "Report to the Droid Repair Bay for performance chip replacement and diagnostics."
- ―MB-12's stored memory from the Raddus
MB-12 was a BB-series astromech droid that served the Resistance on board the MC85 Star Cruiser Raddus at some point prior[2] to the starship's destruction[4] in 34 ABY.[5] While on board the Raddus, the droid was ordered to report to the vessel's repair bay in order to have a performance chip replaced and diagnostics run. MB-12 recorded the order and an image of the repair bay on an Internal Data Recorder.[2]
MB-12 later ended up in the Droid Depot in Black Spire Outpost on the planet Batuu during the world's occupation by the First Order[3] in 34 ABY.[6] The BB unit was displayed alongside fellow astromech droids[3] JB-9[7] and J1-B2[2] in an alcove behind one of the counters in the depot.[3] Like all BB-series astromech droids, MB-12 was manufactured by Industrial Automaton and stood 0.67 meters tall.[1] It had black and brown paneling and a black sensor.[3]
Behind the scenes[]
MB-12 appeared as an animatronic within the themed land Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge,[3] which opened to guests at Disneyland Park and Disney's Hollywood Studios in 2019.[8] The droid is capable of emitting beeps and whistles while two lights flash on its head.[3] The droid simultaneously appeared in Star Wars: Datapad, an application launched alongside Galaxy's Edge. The image used in the application to represent MB-12's memory of the Raddus[2] is an image from the 2017 video game Star Wars: Droid Repair Bay.[9]

- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 Star Wars Character Encyclopedia, New Edition states that BB-series astromech droids are manufactured by Industrial Automaton and stand 0.67 meters tall. Star Wars: The Visual Encyclopedia states that all astromech droids are second class droids. As MB-12 is stated to be a BB-series astromech droid in Star Wars: Datapad, these characteristics must apply to it as well.
