0-0-0

0-0-0, also known simply as Triple-Zero, or just Trip, was a protocol droid that specialized in etiquette, customs, translation and torture. He was awoken by Doctor Aphra and the Sith Lord Darth Vader, and proceeded to perform various missions for the two alongside his fellow droid and companion BT-1. After Aphra faked her own death, he and BT-1 continued to roam the galaxy with her.

The protocol droid accompanied Aphra and her father in a quest to investigate the Ordu Aspectu, leading to the recovery of the Rur Crystal, an artifact housing an artificial intelligence calling itself Eternal Rur. Seeking to profit off of Rur's technopathic abilities, Aphra arranged an auction for the crystal, only for 0-0-0 to sabotage the event and coerce Aphra into granting him his freedom. The droid then departed with the crime lord Yonak, usurping the Rodian and becoming the leader of the syndicate Son-tuul Pride.

0-0-0 brought Aphra into his service, forcing her to recover his lost memories from the Tarkin Initiative research station Hivebase-1. After escaping an Imperial raid on Son-tuul Pride's headquarters, the droid discovered that Aphra had encoded the data file, leading him to pursue the doctor to Accresker Jail. The two were then incapacitated by the disguised Doctor Cornelius Evazan, who implanted 0-0-0 with his penal proximity mine, still linked to Aphra's own detonator, as an entertaining experiment in morality.

Aphra and 0-0-0 traveled to Milvayne in hopes of finding a surgeon to remove the bombs. The pair were serviced by Rajam Nuss, 0-0-0 murdering him after he had outlived his usefulness, but Aphra discovered that Nuss had failed, the bombs still active and now on a timer. Seeking Nuss' mentor, Professor Prexo, 0-0-0 traveled with Aphra to Milvayne's Undercity, where he was reunited with BT-1 and once again incapacitated by the orphan Vulaada Klam. Put on trial by the Milvayne Authority, 0-0-0 aided Aphra in escaping.

The doctor repaired the droid but secretly installed an ion pulse, the triggering of which could destroy 0-0-0 for good. Aphra ultimately redirected the pulse, earning 0-0-0's favor. The droid provided Aphra Imperial intelligence on her lover, Magna Tolvan, who in turn unlocked his memories. Aphra and 0-0-0's bombs were ultimately disarmed remotely by Prexo, who apprehended Evazan alongside monster hunters Winloss and Nokk. 0-0-0 then abandoned Aphra, departing Milvayne with BT-1.

The droids were later recovered and memory wiped by the Empire, and 0-0-0 was appointed as an interrogation specialist aboard the Executor. Reunited with Aphra, 0-0-0 aided the doctor in deceiving Darth Vader and stranding him on the planet Tython. Aphra took 0-0-0 and BT-1 to the Outer Rim world of Birukay, where they retired, but the droids quickly found themselves bored with nothing to kill.

0-0-0 and BT's peaceful isolation was interrupted by a force of Crimson Dawn enforcers, whom they murdered, and a crew of Aphra's companions seeking the droids' aid. 0-0-0 and BT-1 joined the group in fighting the Spark Eternal before the entity corrupted the two, binding them to its service. The droids participated in a skirmish aboard Amaxine Station, engaging in the conflict with Aphra's allies.

The duo later joined Ought-Six in a revenge quest against Darth Vader, though turned on the droid when it became apparent that Vader had the upper hand. At the time of the Scourge, R2-D2 aided 0-0-0 in restoring BT-1 from the malevolent entity's corrupting influence, recruiting the both of them into a newly-reformed D-Squad. 0-0-0 fought alongside R2 and ultimately a warrior-priest droid named Ajax Sigma to destroy the Scourge, warning Sigma not to become a threat in the future, lest D-Squad hunt him down too.
