The Czerka Corporation Master Control System, also referred to as Master-Com, was a supercomputer that controlled and monitored the systems of the Mid Rim casino space station known as the Wheel. Installed during the Wheel's construction in 84 BBY, Master-Com took its most recognizable form during the reign of administrator Simon Greyshade, who ordered the construction of dozens of droid bodies for Master-Com's artificial consciousness to inhabit. Afterward, Master-Com became the former Senator's right-hand machine, known for its genial manner and efficient operation of the station's systems.
In 0 ABY, Imperial Commander Zertik Strom launched a plot to assert control of the Wheel, resulting in an Imperial manhunt of several known Rebels who had fled to the station. During the affair, Master-Com's focus fell on the two droids belonging to Rebel Luke Skywalker, becoming inspired by the depths of devotion they showed their Human master to explore the concept of machine-organic friendship. Master-Com eventually realized that it felt those same feelings towards Greyshade, and the administrator's death during the Imperial imbroglio sent the walking supercomputer spiraling into what could only be described as a deep depression.
Master-Com soon found a new purpose in foiling the rule of Imperial administrator Mulchive Wermis over the Wheel, and the machine was named the station's new administrator after it was liberated by the Rebel Alliance. Master-Com flourished in its new role, and was noted to take on more Human-like traits every year. However, the machine suddenly disappeared in 101 ABY, replaced by a mysterious gentleman known only as "Old Silver Eyes," who seemed to share Master-Com's demeanor and efficiency.
