PO-12

PO-12 was the designation of a protocol droid, located within the weapons lab of Lord Grathan's estate on Dromund Kaas, during the Cold War. He boasted that he was fluent in over 100 forms of communications and dialects. He was part of a project regarding a prototype turret, the plans to which were stored in his databanks. He found the turrets, which had set several subjects on fire during testing, to be incredibly inhumane. PO-12 wanted to destroy the plans to the turrets, but his restraining bolt prevented him from doing so.

In around 3643 BBY, on the orders of Special Forces Captain Bryn, an Imperial spacer successfully infiltrated Grathan's compound, retrieving a security badge from a member of Lord Grathan's forces in order to pass by its automated defences. The spacer stole into the weapons lab and downloaded the plans to the prototype turrets from the databanks of PO-12, despite the droid's protests. As the droid was not programmed for combat, he was unable to prevent the data from being downloaded, much to his chagrin.
