Russo-ISC

Russo-ISC was an SP-4 ISC crime scene analysis droid who served the Jedi Order, working at the Jedi Temple on the planet Coruscant during the Clone Wars, a conflict between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. In 21 BBY, Russo served as a crime scene analyzer, working alongside Police Inspector Tanivos Divo, as they investigated the murder of the Trandoshan assassin Nack Movers, who had been slain by his girlfriend Ione Marcy and his bodyguard Cassilyda Cryar.

Russo's service with the Jedi continued toward the end of the Clone Wars, and in 19 BBY, he was assigned by Jedi Master Mace Windu to assist the Jedi in investigating the bombing of the Jedi Temple hangar. In the Temple's hangar, he met Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan Ahsoka Tano, who were also assigned the mission. Despite rumors that a Jedi was involved in the plot, Skywalker convinced Russo to bring Tano with him to interview the witnesses. They interviewed the witnesses in the Jedi Temple medical bay, where they learned an Abyssin male maintenance crew member named Jackar Bowmani had bombed the Temple.

When Russo checked the Temple's security footage, he discovered Bowmani was fed nano-droids, which went into the Abyssin's bloodstream, transforming Bowmani into a bomb that left only his hand intact. After Skywalker and Tano arrested Bowmani's wife Letta Turmond for feeding her husband the nano-droids, Russo went through the security footage again. The analysis droid confirmed Bowmani had acted alone, meaning according to his research, no Jedi aided the saboteur.
