T7 - O1 T7 - O1 , known affectionately as Teeseven or T7 , was a T7 - series astromech droid active during the Great Galactic War , the Cold War , and the Galactic War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire . Manufactured by Duwani Mechanical Products sometime before 3843 BBY , the astromech droid did not undergo a memory wipe during his entire lifetime , allowing him to develop a strong personality and preserve the memories of the dozen or so partners he worked with throughout the years . Originally a repair and pilot droid , Teeseven began working with the Jedi Order in the years before the Great Galactic War as the partner of Jedi Master Ven Zallow , and he went undercover for the Jedi and the Republic Strategic Information Service on multiple occasions during the conflict . Surviving the Sacking of Coruscant and the fall of the Jedi Temple at the end of the war , Teeseven served as a reconnaissance droid for the Order on their homeworld of Tython for much of the Cold War before teaming up with a young Jedi who was the former apprentice of Jedi Master Orgus Din . Alongside his friend and the Jedi ' s apprentice Kira Carsen , Teeseven played a pivotal role in halting the plot of the Sith Lord Darth Angral to assault the Republic using stolen superweapons , and after the Knight received the title of Hero of Tython the droid continued to travel the galaxy with his partners . Teeseven ' s service with the Hero of Tython eventually culminated in a plan to capture the Sith Emperor himself , and the droid accompanied the Hero of Tython during an assault on the Sith capital of Dromund Kaas . The two managed to gain entry to the Emperor ' s throne room and defeated the Emperor in a fierce confrontation . Afterwards , Teeseven and the rest of the Hero of Tython ' s companions were awarded the Cross of Glory for their pivotal role in ending the threat of the Sith Empire . Biography . Early history . A T7 - series astromech droid produced by Duwani Mechanical Products , T7 - O1 was constructed sometime before 3843 BBY as a standard factory - spec astromech . Over the next century and a half , Teeseven passed from owner to owner — whom the droid referred to as " partners " — without ever undergoing a memory wipe . This led Teeseven to develop a personality and preserved the droid ' s memories of all of his former partners . Approximately one hundred years after his creation , Teeseven was assigned as a Senate legislation analyst under Senator Oodora of Manaan . Oodora promoted the astromech after his first year , and Teeseven soon became the Senator ' s campaign manager and speech writer throughout Oodora ' s four consecutive terms . When the Senator retired after twenty years of working with Teeseven , the droid began working with a Rodian named Shafu — who , unbeknownst to Teeseven , was a slaver . Teeseven served Shafu faithfully as a navigator , piloting the Rodian ' s ship and never entering the cargo hold . However , Shafu was eventually captured by a Jedi named Ven Zallow , who convinced Shafu to turn over a new leaf instead of turning him over to the authorities . At Zallow ' s request , Shafu became a confidential informant for the Order , and in gratitude the Rodian gave Teeseven to the Jedi . By 3681 BBY , Zallow had sent Teeseven undercover to work with the smuggler Nico Okarr , and the droid served as the human ' s mechanic and aide on his XS stock light freighter " Redshifter " . While attempting to smuggle Sith artifacts off the planet , Okarr and Teeseven were captured by Republic forces over the Sith homeworld of Korriban , and the Republic arrested Okarr and impounded the smuggler ' s ship with Teeseven aboard the Republic space station in the Horuset system . However , Okarr ' s transfer to a holding cell was interrupted by the arrival of the Sith Empire . A massive fleet arrived in - system and launched an offensive against the station , intending to retake their homeworld . As the smuggler ' s ship was the only one fast enough to escape the Sith fighters , Jedi Knight Satele Shan and her master decided to use it to escape in order to warn the Republic . Teeseven had been on - board the ship performing maintenance as the hangar came under assault by Sith forces , and the smuggler instructed him to prepare the ship ' s weapons in preparation for their escape . The smuggler and his passengers , including Teeseven , were ultimately able to escape their pursuers and bring word to the Republic of the oncoming Sith threat . Leaving Okarr ' s service sometime after Korriban and returning to Master Zallow , Teeseven worked with the Jedi Order throughout much of the Great Galactic War . By that time , he had worked with a total of eleven partners , including Zallow , Oodora , a doctor , mechanic , Shafu , a Senatorial aide , and Okarr . Around 3663 BBY , Zallow lent Teeseven to the Republic Strategic Information Service for a single mission . The intelligence agency sent the droid undercover to protect a Muun ambassador from the secretive bounty hunter guild known as the GenoHaradan . During the assignment , Teeseven was successfully able to detect the assassin in the crowd and discharged a stun bolt , but the assassin escaped into the crowd . The ambassador retired in fear , leaving Teeseven depressed and believing that he never truly completed his mission . Service to the Order . The fall of Coruscant . In 3653 BBY , Teeseven was present on the Republic ' s capital planet of Coruscant with Ven Zallow when the Jedi Temple was attacked by a Sith strike force under the leadership of the Sith Lord Darth Malgus . Zallow ordered his astromech companion to stay hidden and record the battle in case of a Jedi defeat , though the droid emerged briefly to warn the Jedi Master of Darth Malgus ' approach during the fighting . Teeseven returned to his hiding place and watched as Zallow was slain in battle with Malgus , and he escaped into the tunnels beneath the Temple as the battle turned against the Jedi . Teeseven attempted to return to Zallow ' s body after the fighting ended and managed to recover his lightsaber , but the Sith planted explosives and the droid was forced to retreat deeper into the lower levels of Coruscant as the Temple was brought down . A damaged Teeseven remained there for quite some time before he encountered Zallow ' s former apprentice Aryn Leneer and the smuggler Zeerid Korr , who were attempting to find out who had killed Zallow . After explaining what had transpired at the Temple , Teeseven accompanied the pair to the Temple ' s backup surveillance station , and he was able to restore power to the systems in order to show Leneer recordings of the Temple ' s fall . He paused and resumed the recording as per Leneer ' s instructions , allowing her to discover the identity of Zallow ' s killer , and he copied the recording for Leneer to peruse later when the trio departed . T7 and the two Humans hid in an abandoned apartment building after leaving the Temple ruins , and he stayed with Leneer while Korr scouted the nearby Liston Spaceport . Leneer departed during the night despite T7 ' s protests , and the droid later followed the Jedi Knight to the Temple with Korr when the smuggler returned . There , the two found Darth Malgus and Leneer embroiled in a fierce duel , but Korr interrupted the fight in fear of her falling to the dark side and helped Leneer escape . Leneer then decided to pursue Malgus ' Twi ' lek lover , Eleena Daru , in her quest for revenge , and as part of her plan the trio fell from their speeder onto the top of the spaceport . Leneer slowed T7 ' s descent with the Force , and the droid hacked into the spaceport ' s systems and triggered the facility ' s fire suppression and safety systems with a false signal that tricked the network ' s sensors into detecting a fuel gas leak . As a result , evacuation alarms were triggered in Landing Bay 16 - B — the hangar used by the shuttles belonging to Daru and her team — and the hangar ' s launch doors openned , allowing Leneer to enter and attack Daru . At Korr ' s orders , T7 hacked into the " Dragonfly " - class dropship " Razor " in the landing bay , but the droid decided to remain behind with Leneer after she decided not to kill Daru . Teeseven hid in the shadows of the hangar while the Knight confronted Malgus , and the two departed Coruscant aboard Daru ' s shuttle after Leneer threatened the Twi ' lek to ensured her own safety . The Tython uprising . While Leneer left the Order and traveled to the planet Dantooine to live with Korr , Teeseven returned to the Order ' s service , and when the Jedi Order left Coruscant in 3650 BBY , Teeseven accompanied them to the Order ' s long - lost homeworld of Tython . Teeseven served as a reconnaissance droid for the Order over the next few years , scouting Tython ' s wilderness and identifying hazards . In 3643 BBY , Teeseven was sent out along with nineteen other droids as long - range probes , but he was captured by a group of Flesh Raider s , a violent species native to Tython , near the Flesh Raider - controlled Tythos Ridge region . Locked inside a weapons cache in the Upper Hollows cave system , Teeseven faked deactivation and recorded a meeting between the Dark Jedi Callef and a hooded figure whom Callef called Master . When the apprentice of Jedi Master Orgus Din raided the weapons cache for the Pilgrims of Kalikori village , the Padawan freed T7 and removed the restraining bolt that the Flesh Raiders had attached to the droid . In thanks , T7 showed the Jedi the recording it had secretly made while pretending to be deactivated : a hooded figure , giving orders to the Dark Jedi Callef — whom the Padawan had defeated earlier — and the Flesh Raiders . Callef referred to the figure as his master , and the pair seemed determined to destroy the Jedi Order . Having discovered the source of the Flesh Raiders ' sudden increase in violence , the Padawan and the other Jedi set out to stop Bengel Morr and prevent further casualties . T7 ' s later accompanied the Padawan in rescuing Orgus Din after the latter was lured into a trap and captured by Bengel Morr . Morr revealed himself as Orgus Din ' s former apprentice and was assumed to have been killed during the Sacking of Coruscant , and his rage at his perceived weakness of the Jedi left him seeking vengeance on the Order . Before he could slay Orgus Din , the Padawan and T7 intervened , defeating Morr and saving the Jedi Master . The Padawan was then elevated to the rank of Knight for the Jedi ' s role in ending the Flesh Raider threat , and T7 looked on as the newly promoted Knight constructed their first lightsaber . When the Knight was then dispatched to the capital of Coruscant to aid Jedi Master Bela Kiwiiks and her Padawan in dealing with a new threat , T7 - O1 decided to remain with the Knight as the droid felt they were a formidable team . Partners and heroes . On Coruscant , T7 - O1 , the Knight and Orgus Din were brought up to speed on the situation by Master Kiwiiks . They were introduced to Republic scientist Eli Tarnis and General Var Suthra , who informed them that the plans for a Republic superweapon known as the Planet Prison had been stolen , and the Jedi had been called in to help retrieve them . Working with Kira Carsen and Agent Galen of the Republic Strategic Information Service , T7 - O1 and the Knight tracked the stolen plans first to a Rodian slicer then to the Black Sun criminial syndicate . The mission then became more complicated as the two learned that Tarnis had been kidnapped by Black Sun . After one failed attempt to rescue Tarnis , T7 - O1 and the Knight were informed by General Suthra that the stolen plans had also contained information about every Republic superweapon in development , not just the Planet Prison . Masters Din and Kiwiiks , as well as Agent Galen then departed Coruscant to secure the sites of the compromised superweapons while the Knight and T7 - O1 launched an assault on the headquarters of Black Sun in order to rescue Tarnis . With the aid of the Coruscant Security Force , T7 - O1 and the Knight fought their way to the Black Sun command center , where they found the Black Sun leader in a holocall with Tarnis , who revealed himself to be a Sith Lord . After defeating Salarr , T7 - O1 and the Knight were told by Carsen that Tarnis had stolen the Planet Prison prototype and intended to use it on Coruscant . The three then pursued the Sith Lord first to the Justicars ' Sector , where they found the murdered engineering team behind the Planet Prison , then to the ruins of the Jedi Temple , where they found Tarnis in a call with four Sith Lords , including his father , Darth Angral . Tarnis was slain by the Knight in combat and the activation of the Planet Prison was narrowly averted . Infuriated by his son ' s death , Angral promised to have vengeance on the Republic and the Knight in particular . Upon reporting in to General Suthra and Grand Master Satele Shan , the Knight was told that Din , Kiwiiks and Galen had all failed to report in , and General Suthra feared that Angral had already seized control of the superweapons . The general then gave the Knight a " Defender " - class light corvette for use as their personal starship as well as the location of one of Angral ' s bases on the planet of Ord Mantell , and asked the Knight to look into it . With Kira Carsen in tow as the Knight ' s new Padawan , the group then departed Coruscant for Ord Mantell . Upon arriving on Ord Mantell , T7 - O1 and the Knight made their way to Angral ' s hidden base and fought their way into the command center of the facility . With the base ' s defenders dealt with , T7 - O1 accessed the facility ' s databanks and found files indicating that Angral was planning to combine aspects of several Republic superweapon programs into a single project , which was codenamed the " Desolator . " The files additionally contained intelligence indicating that Angral had sent agents to various worlds to where Republic superweapons were under development . With this information in hand , T7 - O1 continued to accompany the Knight as they traveled to the worlds of Taris , Nar Shaddaa , Tatooine and Alderaan in order to chase down Angral ' s agents and secure the superweapons . As a result of these travels the Knight and his companions rescued Doctor Nasan Godera , a former Republic weapons designer and destroyed the prototypes of the Power Guard Project , the Shock Drum and the Death Mark , each of which was a Republic superweapon seized by Angral ' s forces , rescuing Agent Galen and Masters Kiwiiks and Din in the process . Unfortunately the Knight and his companions learned from General Var Suthra that Angral had already succeeded in combining the superweapons technology into the Desolator , which he had mounted on his flagship . Luckily for them , Din had secretly planted a tracker on the ship . The Knight and his companions pursued Angral to the Republic agriworld Uphrades but arrived to find that the world had already been devastated by Angral ' s superweapon . Subsequently , the Knights and company learn that Angral was targeting Tython . Upon boarding the " Oppressor " , T7 split off from the Jedi to disable the ship while they go to face Angral . The confrontation resulted in the Sith Emperor possessing Kira . But thankfully , Kira was able to break the Emperor ' s hold over her . The trio then reunited aboard the " Defender " and escaped the " Oppressor " ' s destruction . The Hunt for the Sith Emperor . A year later , T7 - O1 and Kira came upon his Master , who had been given the title of the Hero of Tython , apparently talking to thin air . The Hero explained that the ghost of Orgus Din wanted them to go to Tatooine to rescue Jedi Knight Jomar Chul . Following their successful rescue , the Hero and the crew became involved in a mission by Jedi Master Tol Braga to capture and redeem the Sith Emperor . In ordered to complete Braga ' s preparations , the Hero took on a series of missions to Balmorra , Quesh and Hoth . Once the Hero had completed those objectives , they went ahead with the mission , despite Chul ' s warnings that he had foresaw the Hero falling to the dark side . Chul ' s vision came to pass when the hero and Braga ' s strike team confronted the Sith Emperor , who dominated their minds and turned them to the dark side . T7 and the rest of the Hero ' s crew were imprisoned aboard the Emperor ' s space stations for months while the Hero underwent Sith training . Thankfully , Din ' s spirit managed to free the Hero of the Emperor ' s control , who in turn free Kira from being tortured . T7 , along with the Hero ' s new companions , Doc and Sergeant Fideltin Rusk were freed by Lord Scourge , the Emperor ' s Wrath . Though everyone was puzzled by Scourge ' s actions , the Sith explained that a vision he had centuries ago motivated him to rebel against the Emperor . Thwarting the Sith Emperor ' s ritual . Returning to Tython , Scourge revealed to the Jedi Council that the Emperor was plotting to consume all life in the galaxy to fuel his supposed immortality in a powerful ritual . To thwart the Emperor ' s plans , the Hero and their crew traveled to Belsavis , Voss and Corellia to stop the Emperor ' s servants from killing countless innocent lives to begin the ritual , as well as redeeming the fallen members of their strike team . Their efforts weakened the Emperor , at which the Republic decided to strike at Dromund Kaas so that the Hero could strike him down . While the Republic kept the Imperial Navy occupied , T7 accompanied the Hero to confront the Emperor , as the two of them couldn ' t be controlled by him . When the pair confronted the Emperor and engaged him in battle . After seemingly defeating him , Teeseven contacted Scourge , who exclaimed that the Emperor was not yet dead . Before they could do anything , the Emperor ' s body became shrouded in a cloud of dark side energy , and the Hero heard the Emperor ' s voice telepathically warning the Jedi that he would take everything and everyone to the grave with him . As the Dark Temple came crashing down around them , the Hero and Teeseven managed to escape back to the " Defender " and fled Dromund Kaas . Upon rendezvousing with the Republic flagship " Valiant " , Master Satele and Admiral Dabrin awarded the Hero and crew each the Republic ' s highest honor : the Cross of Glory . Continued Travels . At some point during the Hero ' s travels , the Jedi Master suddenly had a vision of a far - away jungle planet . Teeseven then approached the Hero , asking if they were referring to Rishi , as the planet was entered in the ship ' s navicomputer . Rescuing the Outlander . Sometime after the former Sith Emperor consumed all life on Ziost , the Eternal Empire invaded the galaxy , during which the Hero of Tython went missing . The Hero ' s companions searched in vain for their leader but failed and thus went their separate ways . By 3632 BBY , Teeseven teamed up with the Sith Lord Lana Beniko and Koth Vortena to rescue the Outlander from Emperor Arcann ' s custody . Infiltrating the carbonite facility on Zakuul , Teeseven aided in the Outlander ' s escape by creating false alarms throughout the facility , as well as deactivating blaster turrets firing on Koth ' s shuttle . Teeseven remained on Zakuul while the others fled the planet in the " Gravestone " . Being a simple droid granted Teeseven some anonymity . Later on , he received a message from the " Lady of Sorrows " , who had been seeking the " Gravestone " and wished to establish a dialogue with its computer , which Teeseven relayed to the Outlander . Teeseven later met with the Outlander and Senya Tirall upon their return to Zakuul in search of the Lady . Eventually , after slicing relays and interrogating Zakuulans in the Old World , they learned that the only way to get a meet with the Lady was with the Heralds of Zildrog . Teeseven soon separated from his companions to update Koth on their status and subsequently bore witness to the interrogation and murder of Mona Gale , the Lady ' s proxy , by the Heralds . After recruiting the Lady , revealed to be a droid named SCORPIO , Teeseven returned to Asylum with the Outlander and company . While SCORPIO was working on the " Gravestone ' s " hyperdrive , the Outlander received a summons from the Scion Heskal , at which Teeseven volunteered to accompany the Outlander . The meeting turned out to be a trap , as Heskal had invited Arcann to Asylum to fulfill his vision . After Arcann and the Outlander ' s duel was interrupted by a crashing shuttle , Teeseven fought beside his ally back to the " Gravestone " so they could flee the planet . Behind the scenes .
