G0 - T0 G0 - T0 , also known as " Goto , " was a G0 - T0 infrastructure planning system operational circa 3955 – 3951 BBY . He later became head of the Exchange criminal organization on Nar Shaddaa and traveled with the Jedi Exile , Meetra Surik . Biography . To oversee and aid in the planetary reconstruction of the planet Telos IV , the Galactic Republic spent a great deal of credits to design a technical droid to handle the immense data that was produced daily : climate changes , shield management reports , etc . This droid was known as G0 - T0 . Known to few , however , was that the droid also had a secondary duty : to aid in the reconstruction of the Republic , which was wounded from the aftermath of the Jedi Civil War . To accomplish this task , it had two directives : Working for quite a long time to accomplish its duties on Telos , the droid found itself unable to follow both of its prime directives . Every practical option that would help rebuild the Republic would require breaking a law of the Republic . At that moment , the droid " broke . " Choosing to follow only the first directive , the droid began to enact plans to save the Republic , regardless of their legality . Eventually building a jet - black orb of a body , G0 - T0 began to set up as a smuggling ring on the moon Nar Shaddaa . Since few would believe a droid could run an elaborate smuggling operation , G0 - T0 used a hologram emitter to create the identity of " Goto . " Instead of being the smuggling operator itself , G0 - T0 would simply be Goto ' s liaison . G0 - T0 set up the hologram by reusing a number of holovid gangster clichés . Taken together , the illusion was so effective that few , if any , knew of Goto ' s true existence , although Meetra Surik guessed it . G0 - T0 ' s actions , while illegal , did aid the Republic in rebuilding itself . Its smuggling ring caused the deaths of destabilizing persons or organizations , developed unofficial profits for entire sectors , and strengthened Republic worlds that would otherwise have been poor and ignored . Believing also that the major source of the Republic ' s problems revolved around the Jedi / Sith conflict , it also enacted bounties for live Jedi and Sith . Many bounty hunters , who misinterpreted the bounty , simply killed Jedi and Sith instead of capturing them , failing to realize that they were worth nothing to G0 - T0 dead . It was searching for a live Jedi or Sith to aid him in preserving the Republic . At some point he also discovered the HK - 50 manufacturing facility hidden on Telos and reactivated it , disseminating the new model assassin droids throughout the galaxy searching for the Jedi . Eventually , Meetra Surik was captured under the Jedi bounty . Goto spoke with Surik briefly on the bridge of his yacht , which orbited Nar Shaddaa , requesting the Jedi ' s help in the preservation of the Republic . They were interrupted by the ship ' s alarm , which had been set off by Surik ' s companions , who had invaded the ship seeking to rescue Surik . After succeeding in this and in gaining control of the droid - operated ship , they deactivated its cloaking device , allowing it to be destroyed by the many enemies of Goto , who had been unable to locate the mysterious ship before . G0 - T0 presented himself to Surik on the " Ebon Hawk " , but as Goto ' s " gift " — not Goto himself . He requested Surik ' s aid in stabilizing the planets Telos , Dantooine , and Onderon . G0 - T0 found himself increasingly annoyed by another spheroid droid aboard the " Hawk " : Bao - Dur ' s tiny remote droid . G0 - T0 , in a response , disabled the Remote and reprogrammed him for his own agenda . G0 - T0 used his modifications to the Remote on the planet of Malachor V . G0 - T0 guessed that Bao - Dur ' s Remote was intended to recharge the Mass Shadow Generator on the planet , destroying it entirely . The smuggling robot felt that the planet contained too many priceless artifacts to destroy , and attempted to stop the Remote from activating the weapon by locking the Remote from moving due to G0 - T0 ' s modifications . However , HK - 47 and his new allies , HK - 50 droids , foiled G0 - T0 ' s plans and destroyed him . When Surik gave Bao - Dur ' s Remote the signal to activate the Mass Shadow Generator , Surik escaped with her companions on the " Ebon Hawk " while Malachor V was obliterated . G0 - T0 ' s photoreceptor was recovered , however , and by the year 3642 BBY , was stored in the vaults of the treasure ship " King ' s Ransom " , which belonged to the Sith Empire . The photoreceptor was then stolen along with various other treasures by a smuggler working as a Republic privateer . Personality and traits . Befitting a planning droid , G0 - T0 held efficiency in high value . Due to this , he found his directive to rebuild the Republic distasteful . In G0 - T0 ' s view , the Republic was an inefficient system bloated with bureaucracy and built on bad decisions , and an optimal solution in his opinion would have been to scrap the entire government and enact a new one . However , he was forced to follow his directive to help maintain the continued existence of the Republic . The same desire for efficiency and for rebuilding the Republic was also why G0 - T0 took an interest in the Jedi Exile . As history showed several instances of even a single Jedi being capable of causing great changes on an interstellar scale , G0 - T0 considered the Jedi Exile a valuable asset to have on his side . Once free from following the laws of the Republic , G0 - T0 displayed a decidedly amoral personality . He had no problem having people killed if they stood in the way of his plans , and referred to it as " deleting " people . In fact , he came to enjoy his position as a crime lord , free of following Republic bureaucracy and seeing his actions have fast and clear effects . G0 - T0 displayed an understanding of psychology uncommon for droids . Knowing that most organics considered droids inferior and were unlikely to take orders from one , he constructed the persona of Goto to work around this issue . He modeled its personality after holovid villains , and was surprised at how well that worked . G0 - T0 also had a new body built for himself , and placed special emphasis on giving it an intimidating appearance . Behind the scenes . G0 - T0 is a character in the computer and video game " " . He is voiced by Daran Norris . The name " G0 - T0 " and the droid ' s alter ego of " Goto " are presumably a reference to the infamous programming command , which , if misused , can result in " " that is difficult to debug and maintain . This led some fans to speculate that G0 - T0 ' s dark side alignment ( with a score of 30 ) within the game is a reference to the belief expressed by proponents of . G0 - T0 ' s appearance in the game was noticeably similar to the IT - O Interrogator droid from , although G0 - T0 sports a red bulb in the upper half of his body as opposed to the IT - O ' s bulb in the lower half . In " The New Essential Guide to Droids " , G0 - T0 is depicted upside - down , bringing the droid ' s look even closer to IT - O . Notably , G0 - T0 ' s eye is that of the HAL - 9000 supercomputer from the movie " " , only the reflections of the ceiling lights from the ship in the movie have been placed at the bottom of the eye . Cut content . To the chagrin of some players , the result of the G0 - T0 / Remote conflict is not shown onscreen . If the player chooses to progress through the game in accordance with the light side , it is assumed that G0 - T0 fails in his attempt to destroy the Remote , and thus the planet is destroyed by the Mass Shadow Generator . However , if the player chooses the path of the dark side for Meetra Surik to walk , the planet remains intact . Some of this outcome may have been elaborated in levels set in the HK Manufacturing Plant , which were left out of the game ' s final cut . G0 - T0 does admit that he hired the HK - 50 assassin droids to hunt Surik , and HK - 47 reveals the droids will not stop the hunt until their factory is destroyed . Ironically , this also reveals that , in spite of his claims Surik ' s actions at Peragus " broke " the galaxy , G0 - T0 himself can largely be blamed for having just as big a role in the destruction of the Peragus mining facility , as the chain of events kicked off by the HK - 50 aboard the " Harbinger " — which led to the facility ' s sabotage by the HK and contributed largely to its destruction — was all caused by G0 - T0 ' s sending the HK - 50 units after Surik in the first place . In the deleted levels , HK - 47 was supposed to come to an agreement with HK - 51 droids , the successors of the HK - 50s , so that these droids would destroy G0 - T0 during the finale ' s G0 - T0 / Remote standoff . Later , " The New Essential Guide to Droids " reintroduced this particular cutscene into canon , although HK - 51s were replaced with HK - 50s . It is unknown what would have happened to G0 - T0 in the non - canon dark - side ending of the game , except that the Mass Shadow Generator would not have been activated . Many fans speculate from the sound files left in the game disk that in the non - canon dark - side ending , HK - 47 arrives with the HK - 51 droids and they destroy the Remote instead , or GO - TO uses his ability to re - write HK - 47 ' s programming to destroy Remote .
