4-LOM's programmer

An individual was a programmer who worked as an employee of the company Industrial Automaton. They reprogrammed the LOM-series protocol droid 4-LOM. At some point, 4-LOM was assigned to a luxury liner, but a flaw in his programming allowed for his personality software to be corrupted, leading to the protocol droid overriding it. In 9 BBY, the smuggler Han Solo thought about the programmer, considering them a lunatic for reprogramming 4-LOM, as the droid by then worked as a bounty hunter chasing individuals such as himself.

The same year, 4-LOM recalled that his programmer once naively spoke to him of legends about a world where droids had risen up against their masters. 4-LOM believed the legend to be true as he fought off scorpion-droids alongside his Gand bounty hunter partner, Zuckuss, Solo, and the smuggler Chewbacca while on the world, finding the situation fascinating.
