MD - 0C6 MD - 0C6 , commonly known as Doc , was a self - customized Industrial Automaton MD - series medical droid and the local physician in Bartyn ' s Landing , a coastal town on Lamaredd . He served in this position from at least 529 BBY to at least 29 BBY . Initially the property of an employee of the Outer Rim Oreworks Company , MD - 0C6 eventually became an independent droid . After not receiving a memory wipe for five centuries , MD - 0C6 developed personality quirks and , as the only doctor in the city , became a well - respected member of his community , known for his strict priorities — namely , the patient ' s health before anything else . At some point during his career , MD - 0C6 obtained a small , hovering medical assistant , designated F - RTZ - 2 , or " Fritz . " In 69 BBY , MD - 0C6 saved the life of a young Mon Calamari policeman , Mix Liddell , after Liddell ' s encounter with the outlaw Byrch " The Padawan " Dyshkava . After this event , the gruff droid befriended then – Security Chief Liddell , and they made several sailing trips together . Forty years later , Liddell brought a wounded Dyshkava to MD - 0C6 to see whether the droid could save the criminal ' s life . Biography . MD - 0C6 was a medical droid from the MD - series of medical specialists manufactured by Industrial Automaton . The droid claimed that , around 529 BBY , he was the property of an employee of Outer Rim Oreworks ( ORO ) . His master worked for the exploratory branch of Outer Rim Oreworks and was a trusted member of a team led by Hugo Bartyn , an entrepreneurial , ambitious ORO scout . During an expedition for which MD - 0C6 served as chief medical droid , the team discovered that the planet Lamaredd could be a profitable investment for ORO , and they convinced the company to buy it for mining purposes . Bartyn , however , actually wanted to build his own coastal town and enrich himself by fishing . Five centuries later , MD - 0C6 claimed that it was he who had come up with the name " Bartyn ' s Landing " for the town , but this statement was controversial . MD - 0C6 became the medical droid for the town ' s original settlers and miners . He eventually became an independent droid , but he continued with his work as a doctor using his bacta tank . The community eventually nicknamed him " Doc , " and the droid came to be respected by the locals . During this time , he also improved his own robotic body with the available parts and obtained a medical assistant in the form of the little hovering droid designated F - RTZ - 2 and nicknamed " Fritz . " In 69 BBY , MD - 0C6 healed Mix Liddell , a young Mon Calamari junior constable — or " Second " — and the only survivor of a raid against Dark Jedi and outlaw leader Byrch " The Padawan " Dyshkava . After spending time in a bacta tank , Liddell returned to work and became the Security Chief , arresting Dyshkava . Dyshkava escaped , but the threat that he posed had ended . Liddell became a well - liked sheriff in the community and a personal friend to MD - 0C6 , and he and the droid often made sailing trips together . The droid considered Liddell to be the best constable that the Landing had had in all its history — of which MD - 0C6 had been a witness . In 29 BBY , a fungal plague devastated the remote community of Little Mon Cal on the other side of the planet . MD - 0C6 and some security agents traveled there by boat to deliver much - needed medical supplies . They had an encounter with pirates who wanted to steal the valuable cargo and hold it for ransom . Later that year , Dyshkava returned to Bartyn ' s Landing and was severely injured in a duel . Liddell found Dyshkava and took him to a cell , but he also called for MD - 0C6 so that Dyshkava could receive medical care . MD - 0C6 and F - RTZ - 2 did their best , but the MD admitted that it could be too late to save Dyshkava . Although Dyshkava awoke and was questioned by Liddell , MD - 0C6 insisted on making his patient rest . As a consequence of Dyshkava ' s reappearance , Liddell hired some new Seconds , and MD - 0C6 provided them with the few medpacs he could spare . Characteristics . With a personality that developed over at least five centuries , MD - 0C6 exhibited several character traits , including gruffness . However , people around him knew that he was only rough for his patients ' benefit : MD - 0C6 rudely expelled anyone who might disturb an ill person ' s rest , and he could be abrupt with a patient exhibiting self - destructive behavior . His patients were his utmost priority ; an attitude that led the inhabitants of Bartyn ' s Landing to like him to the point that the droid participated in the town ' s management . While at work , MD - 0C6 accepted the help of qualified organics , although he grumbled all the while . Other droids considered MD - 0C6 ' s curmudgeonly personality to be quaint . MD - 0C6 was fluent in both Galactic Basic Standard and binary languages . Unlike most droids , MD - 0C6 liked water . He owned a repulsorsail skiff and enjoyed sailing along with his friend , Mix Liddell , whenever he was not on duty . He stayed in touch with F - RTZ - 2 via comlink during these trips in case MD - 0C6 ' s skills were needed . Description . MD - 0C6 generally looked like an Industrial Automaton MD - series droid , and as such he was equipped with the common parts of a droid that model , including a diagnostic package , a heuristic processor , an improved sensor package , a medical diagnosis computer , a translator unit , and a vocabulator . Throughout his long life , MD - 0C6 added several available parts to himself , including blaster - resistant armor ; a retractile , shoulder - mounted blaster ; increased storage space ; and repulsor units from an old speederboat to increase his own mobility . Except for the repulsor unit that replaced his lower half , most of these modifications were not apparent at a glance . Behind the scenes . MD - 0C6 was created by writer Cory J . Herndon and was featured in the article " Bartyn ' s Landing " and in the role - playing adventure " Reckonings " , both of which were published in the magazine " Star Wars Gamer " # 7 ( 2001 ) . He had an entry in " The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia " ( 2008 ) that included some new information and contradicted " Star Wars Gamer " by saying that MD - 0C6 had had regular memory wipes . This article considers that piece of information a typo , because MD - 0C6 not having had memory wipes was an essential part of the character ' s background in the " Bartyn ' s Landing " article .
