T3 - M4 T3 - M4 ( also called Teethree for short ) was a T3 - series utility droid built as a master slicer for crime lord Davik Kang . His life of crime was short - lived , however , after Taris was bombarded by the Sith and Davik was killed . He then accompanied Revan on his search for the Star Forge . Two years after defeating Darth Malak , Revan left for the Unknown Regions in search of answers to why the Mandalorians took to war in the first place , taking T3 - M4 with him . Eventually , their quest led them to Nathema , where the " Ebon Hawk " was shot down by Darth Nyriss and the Lord Scourge , and Revan was captured . The droid then wandered the planet alone until he gathered the parts necessary to repair the " Ebon Hawk " , and eventually the droid rescued Meetra Surik from Darth Sion , and helped her in her quest to stop the Sith Triumvirate . After this , T3 - M4 joined Surik in going after Revan in the Unknown Regions , their quest eventually taking them to Dromund Kaas . There , after rescuing Revan , T3 , Surik and a Sith ally named Scourge confronted the Sith Emperor , where T3 met his end at the Emperor ' s hand . Biography . Travels with Revan . T3 - M4 was a late - prototype model of the T3 - series utility droid , built on Taris by Janice Nall for the local crime lord Davik Kang in 3956 BBY . The droid was top - of - the - range for its time , and featured exceptional code - breaking and computer slicing skills , in addition to being able to mount armor and weapon upgrades . T3 - M4 ' s original purpose was to aid Canderous Ordo in breaking into a Sith military base on Taris for Davik Kang . The amnesiac Revan , under the advice of Canderous , assisted in stealing the launch codes from the base . The group then stole Davik ' s ship , the " Ebon Hawk " , and escaped the destruction of Taris ordered by Darth Malak . Following their narrow escape , the group embarked on a quest to find and destroy the Star Forge . During this quest , Revan learned his true identity , but T3 - M4 , being a droid , continued to faithfully serve him . T3 - M4 continued to accompany Revan in the years following the destruction of the Star Forge . Revan slowly regained the memories of his past life , and set out with Canderous and T3 - M4 to investigate the mysterious True Sith that he had encountered in the Unknown Regions . Before this , however , T3 was given special instructions by Revan ' s wife Bastila Shan . Under this programming , if T3 lost contact with Revan , he would return to Republic space and contact her or any other that could help , such as the Republic or other Jedi . Revan , Canderous , and T3 - M4 first went to Rekkiad , where the Mandalorians , Canderous ' s people , were searching for Mandalore ' s Mask . Finding the mask , which Revan had hid there years earlier in the aftermath of the Battle of Malachor V , unlocked more of Revan ' s past memories . While Canderous remained in the known galaxy to rebuild the Mandalorians as Mandalore the Preserver , Revan and T3 - M4 continued to follow Revan ' s memories , which led them to the devastated planet of Nathema . Revan lost control of the " Ebon Hawk " due to the emptiness in the Force around Nathema , and they were shot down by Darth Nyriss and Lord Scourge , two Sith from the very Empire that Revan sought , who were coincidentally visiting the planet for their own purposes . The Sith captured Revan , but did not notice T3 - M4 . T3 - M4 was left alone as the only animate being on the entire planet , and slowly repaired the " Ebon Hawk " . After years he found all the necessary parts , and returned to known space , following Bastila ' s instructions . Travels with Meetra Surik . Unable to find Bastila , he instead sought the Jedi Exile , Meetra Surik because of her history with Revan . Surik was travelling aboard the Republic vessel " Harbinger " . However , the ship was attacked by the Sith Lord Darth Sion . The mysterious Jedi Master Kreia helped Surik escape on the " Ebon Hawk " along with T3 - M4 and another droid , 3C - FD . The ship was heavily damaged in the escape , and both droids were instrumental in repairing and getting the ship to the Peragus Mining Facility while all the other crew members on board were incapacitated . However , immediately upon docking , an HK - 50 droid broke out of a sealed section of the ship and blasted the two utility droids . T3 - M4 barely escaped with little damage but 3C - FD was damaged beyond recovery . When Surik awakened in the medical bay of the mining facility , T3 - M4 helped her gain access to the Peragus fuel depot before being found and disabled by the HK - 50 droid and dumped in a fuel line , only to be discovered by Surik and Atton Rand as they made their escape from the facility . After Surik and the others escaped from the Peragus system on the " Ebon Hawk " , they were forced to escape to Telos IV , where they were detained at Citadel Station . Atris had the impounded " Ebon Hawk " stolen from Citadel Station and moved to her Jedi academy in the polar region of Telos . T3 - M4 was detained with the ship , and was thus also taken by Atris . At Atris ' academy , his memory banks were downloaded by Atris ' s Handmaidens . The link between the academy ' s computer and T3 - M4 worked both ways , however , and the droid was able to download a holorecording of Surik ' s trial before the Jedi Council and a list of the locations of the remaining Jedi Masters . When Surik was captured on Nar Shaddaa by Exchange thugs in the employ of G0 - T0 , T3 - M4 once again came to the rescue . With the aid of The Champ , a Chadra - Fan Pazaak player , the droid was " sold " to Vogga the Hutt and sent to work in his shipping warehouse . Goto had been intercepting all of Vogga ' s shipping by following his transports transponder codes . The freighters would be captured by Goto ' s droid yacht , which was cloaked in orbit . To find and infiltrate the yacht , T3 - M4 stole the transponder codes for one of Vogga ' s freighters and fought his way out of the warehouse when three HK - 50 assassin droids tried to stop him . The " Ebon Hawk " codes were then changed to match the freighter , and Goto ' s yacht intercepted the ship as planned , allowing for the rescue of Surik and the destruction of the cloaked yacht . During Surik ' s journeys , T3 - M4 was responsible for the " Ebon Hawk " navigation , as he alone could access the navigation records of the ship due to a voice - printed lockout . Presumably , they had been locked by Revan to hide his destination . Surik , with the help of T3 - M4 and her other companions , confronted the Sith at the Trayus Academy on Malachor V . The Sith Order founded by Darth Revan was destroyed along with the planet . Search for Revan . Meetra Surik and T3 returned to Coruscant , where Bastila Shan , now with a three year old son , Vaner , discussed Revan , and what happened to him . Bastila gave T3 a holo - video of her and Vaner for Revan to watch when T3 and Meetra found him . T3 - M4 brought Surik to Nathema , where Revan had been captured . The two found clues pointing to the planet of Dromund Kaas , the capital of the Sith Empire Revan had encountered a decade earlier . Meetra and T3 joined forces with Scourge , who was part of a conspiracy to overthrow the Emperor . Together , they successfully freed Revan from Darth Nyriss ' estate . They hid in a cave in the jungle , where Revan watched the holo - vid of Bastila and their son numerous times . The four planned to destroy the Sith Emperor . Scourge got them into the Sith Citadel , but the Emperor ' s guards soon realized they were deceived . Revan and T3 rushed into the Emperor ' s throne room , and T3 sealed the doors to prevent the guards from interfering . However , the Emperor was more powerful than previously anticipated . He overwhelmed Revan with Force lightning , which almost killed him . T3 , however , saved him by unleashing his flamethrower at the Emperor , making him lose concentration . It was then that the Emperor disintegrated T3 with the full power of the Force , making the loyal companion explode into countless pieces . Abilities . T3 - M4 had many abilities and was fully deserving of the moniker of ' utility droid ' . Having never had a memory wipe , he developed a personality and quirks . There is evidence that he was even resistant to memory wipes : if another droid attempted to erase T3 - M4 ' s memory , T3 could replicate the other droid ' s numeric matrices , slice into its system , and short - circuit that droid instead . T3 - M4 could make security and computer spikes and could turn himself into a makeshift workbench which Meetra Surik used to upgrade or take apart objects in the field . He utilized weapons , such as blasters and disruptors , as well as one of many types of flame - throwers , scramblers , shock arms , and other droid - only weapons . He could be easily fitted with many types of droid armor and other miscellaneous upgrades . The droid was also a master of computer and security slicing . Behind the scenes . T3 is likely based on R2 - D2 , a utility droid from the " Star Wars " movies , who was also made famous by his limited vocabulary , quirky personality , and comical antics . It is also stated that T3 is an astromech droid , the same classification as R2 - D2 . T3 - M4 ' s relationship with HK - 47 was different than that of C - 3PO and R2 - D2 . T3 - M4 and HK - 47 did not get along , as seen in some dialogue with the two of them . T3 - M4 actually attacks and disables HK - 47 at a couple of points in " Knights of the Old Republic II " . T3 ' s voice changes significantly from the first game to the second . In " KOTOR " , his speech is comprised mainly of whistles and musical notes , whereas in " KOTOR II " , he sounds more like R2 - D2 . His personality also changes , while he is loyal to his owners in both titles , he is more stoic in the original but somewhat more noble , more assertive , yet slightly more fond of making mischief in the sequel . The personality change is probably due to the addition of more memories , furthering his " eccentricity . " Knights of the Old Republic . During the development of " KotOR I " , T3 - M4 was known as T3 - M3 . A trace of this designation can be found in script files . T3 - M4 cannot be purchased until after Revan agrees to the deal made by Canderous Ordo . This is due to T3 - M4 ' s previous purchase by Canderous for the Exchange . After Revan met Canderous , though , T3 - M4 was given to Revan , to aid him in his quest to break into the Sith Base on Taris . Before purchasing T3 - M4 from Janice Nall ' s store , it is also possible to buy another droid for a " good price " . However , the droid will soon break apart . After returning the defunct droid , Nall will offer Revan back his credits . The fact that T3 - H8 broke apart just after being bought is notably similar to " " when Owen Lars buys a red astromech droid only for it to be discovered that it has a ' bad motivator . ' The initial price of T3 is 2 , 000 credits , but the player can use several methods of persuasion to lower the price . A calmer approach with Nall would lower the price to 1 , 500 while a darker one would make T3 - M4 free . Knights of the Old Republic II : The Sith Lords . In an early game demo shown at the Electronic Entertainment Expo , T3 was cast as belonging to Bastila Shan . On the moon Nar Shaddaa the player has the option of selling T3 - M4 to a droid dealer . Even if sold , T3 - M4 will still come to Meetra Surik ' s aid after she is kidnapped and taken aboard Goto ' s droid yacht . This loyalty is no doubt due to the fact that T3 has not had a memory wipe in his lifetime . With a high skill rank in " Repair " and " Computer Use " , the Exile can improve T3 ' s Constitution , Dexterity and Intelligence as well as learn a Moving Meditation that helps recover Force energy . A high skill rank in " Computer Use " also gives Surik the means of unlocking a message hidden in T3 ' s memory core . The message shows Bastila Shan or Carth Onasi depending on Revan ' s gender and alignment , which can be chosen in the first dialogue with Atton Rand , early in the game . In cut content , Surik could ask T3 if he knew Mandalore . It would be here that T3 would display a hologram of Revan leaving Canderous on the edge of the galaxy although the hologram would not be seen by the player .
