- "Rheen the Powderizer Vs. Sallowpink"
"Enhanced, all weapon mods legal!" - ―A draft advertisement for Sallowpink's match
Sallowpink was a B2-series super battle droid[2] manufactured by Baktoid Combat Automata[1] that was enhanced with a variety of additional gray armor plating across its body and spikes along its arms. Between 10 BBY and 3 ABY,[4] the droid was planned to participate as a gladiator droid in a Pit Fight Night at Grakkus Arena on the moon Nar Shaddaa.[2]
A draft advertisement for the event presented to the arena's owner Grakkus Jahibakti Tingi for approval listed the night's main event as a battle between Sallowpink and the gladiator droid Rheen the Powderizer where all weapon mods were legal.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
Sallowpink was first mentioned in the 2018 reference book Star Wars: Smuggler's Guide, which was written by Daniel Wallace with an illustration of Sallowpink by Adrián Rodriguez.[2]

Notes and references[]
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Ultimate Star Wars states that all B2-series super battle droid are manufactured by Baktoid Combat Automata. As Sallowpink is depicted as a B2-series super battle droid in Star Wars: Smuggler's Guide, it must therefore have been manufactured by Baktoid Combat Automata.

- ↑ Star Wars: Droidography establishes that B2-series super battle droids have masculine programming.
- ↑ The entry in Star Wars: Smuggler's Guide that mentions Sallowpink takes place after Han Solo has completed the Kessel Run, but before he encounters a bounty hunter on Ord Mantell, which is mentioned as having occurred prior to the Battle of Hoth in Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back. Solo: A Star Wars Story The Official Guide establishes that Solo completes the Kessel Run nine years after the Proclamation of the New Order, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 19 BBY, meaning Solo's Kessel Run must take place in 10 BBY. The Atlas also dates the Battle of Hoth to 3 ABY; therefore, the entry in the in-universe book Smuggler's Guide must have been written between 10 BBY and 3 ABY.
