"No."
"Well, I think you will find it a very lovely city." - ―The taxi droid and Doctor Penn Pershing
Around 9 ABY, a taxi droid piloted Doctor Penn Pershing in an air taxi from the Galaxies Opera House to Amnesty Housing on the planet Coruscant. During the journey, the taxi droid congratulated Pershing on making it into the New Republic Amnesty Program and, upon learning that Pershing had only recently arrived on Coruscant, recommended a series of Coruscant locations that the doctor should visit.
Biography[]
- "I see you're going to Amnesty Housing. Congratulations on making it into the program."
"Thank you." - ―The taxi droid and Doctor Penn Pershing

The taxi droid piloted Doctor Penn Pershing through Coruscant.
A taxi droid piloted an air taxi in Galactic City on the planet Coruscant while the world was controlled by the New Republic.[1] Around 9 ABY,[2] the droid drove Doctor Penn Pershing, a member of the New Republic Amnesty Program, back to Amnesty Housing after he had delivered a speech at the Galaxies Opera House. During the ride, the droid turned and, based on their destination, congratulated him on making it into the program.[1]
The droid then questioned if the doctor had been on Coruscant long, and when Pershing revealed that he had not, the droid claimed that he would find it a lovely city. The droid then began recommending places to visit in Galactic City, starting with the blooming Mysess blossoms at the Skydome Botanical Gardens. The doctor gestured for the droid to turn back to the front of the vehicle, which the pilot did before continuing its recommendations with a new exhibit on hyperdrive technology at the Galactic Museum. As the droid was telling Pershing about the creatures displayed at the Holographic Museum of Extinct Animals, they arrived at the Amnesty Housing landing platform. Stopping mid-way through describing the mantabog displayed at the museum, the droid asked the doctor to watch his step as he exited the vehicle, then wished him a good evening before flying away.[1]

Star Wars: The Mandalorian — "Chapter 19: The Convert"
- ↑ Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of "Chapter 1: The Mandalorian" of The Mandalorian Season One to 9 ABY. In addition,
"A Certain Point of View" — Star Wars Insider 228 also dates "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" to nine years after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, which corresponds to 9 ABY per Timelines. "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" takes place after the conflict on Mandalore, which is the main event depicted in "Chapter 23: The Spies" and "Chapter 24: The Return," the final two episodes of The Mandalorian Season Three. Therefore, Seasons One through Three of Star Wars: The Mandalorian, the latter of which includes "Chapter 19: The Convert," must all be set in 9 ABY as well.
