Blue Max

Blue Max was the name given to a modified B2-X Computer Interface Unit that served for a time as a crewmember of the smuggling freighter Millennium Falcon during the era of the Galactic Civil War. Named for his color and incredible memory and processing power, Blue Max was the result of a covert Imperial Intelligence program before eventually falling into the hands of outlaw tech Klaus Vandangante. Vandangante reprogrammed the diminutive droid and gave him a chipper and youthful personality, while modifying a BLX labor droid called Bollux to carry Blue Max within his chest.

Blue Max and Bollux quickly became an inseparable pair, joining Corellian smuggler Han Solo's crew in 2 BBY, when they were enlisted to aid in a mission to find Vandangante, who had been kidnapped by the Corporate Sector Authority. After finding and liberating the secret Authority prison Stars' End and freeing Vandangante, the two droids signed on with Solo full-time, wanting to adventure and see the galaxy. Over the coming months, they both joined Solo and his Wookiee partner Chewbacca on a number of adventures, including exposing a slaving ring on Ammuud and tracking down the lost treasure of the fabled Queen of Ranroon on Dellalt. After the latter mission, they parted ways with Solo, staying on Dellalt to aid in the archaeological study of the artifacts from the ancient treasure ship.
