" Biography . GSAD - 43 was an AD armorer droid built by Arakyd Industries along with several other units , on the assumption that the Galactic Empire would buy their new droid design . However , after a careful analysis of the model ' s efficiency , Imperial authorities decided against the purchase . Arakyd Industries had already manufactured a number of AD droids and sold some of them to guilds of bounty hunters . GSAD - 43 became a property of House Salaktori , a member of the Bounty Hunters ' Guild . Salaktori assigned GSAD - 43 to Janna Relasi , a female bounty hunter working for the House . After working together in several hunts , Relasi came to consider GSAD - 43 her old companion , and the droid was , in turn , bonded to her mistress . During one hunt , Relasi was fatally wounded and barely arrived to her own starship . With her last breath , he asked GSAD - 43 to catch the people who had injured her , as she would be unable to . GSAD - 43 considered this to be an explicit command , albeit Relasi had failed to identify the murderers except for the fact that they were more than one . During the following weeks , GSAD - 43 used the computer on Relasi ' s ship to research on her recent activities . She also improved the firepower and tracking abilities of her hardware . Once she was ready , she tracked and eventually captured one of the murderers . This was not enough to satisfy the machine , as Relasi had specified " them " , a collective , as the culprits of her death . GSAD - 43 continued tracking people through hyperlane s , and looking for clues on the conspiracy that had killed her owner , with her activities and background anything but a secret to the chagrin of House Salaktori — the Guild was ashamed of the situation , as an armorer droid playing bounty hunter was laughable . During her travels , she met and impressed Devon Fuller , who later inquired about the droid ' s past and posted about it on Cynabar ' s Droid Datalog . Personality and traits .
