N1 - ZX was a BX - series droid commando who was a member of the Resistance ' s droid spy network during the early stages of the Cold war in 34 ABY . He was programmed with a self preservation mechanism to protect the information he collected as a spy . N1 - ZX was stationed on the planet Kaddak and reported to the protocol droid C - 3PO , who served as General Leia Organa ' s spymaster . Prior to the Mission to Kaddak , N1 - ZX managed to send a transmission to the Resistance base on D ' Qar that it had acquired a large trove of information about the First Order including the location of Supreme Leader Snoke . In response , Organa dispatched Poe Dameron , C - 3PO , BB - 8 , and the Abednedo technician Oddy Muva to recover N1 - ZX . Later , N1 - ZX was captured by the Ranc gang , who wanted to sell the droid . Before this could happen , Dameron and C - 3PO managed to force their way into the Ranc gang ' s headquarters and freed N1 - ZX by activating a sleeper cell of spy droid s . Nunzix expressed little gratitude to his rescuers and chided them for taking too long . Despite C - 3PO ' s orders , N1 - ZX also refused to release his information on Snoke until they had left Kaddak . C - 3PO explained that N1 - ZX ' s self - preservation programming was deeply embedded into his processors . When Dameron proposed giving Nunzix a " robo - lobotomy " , N1 - ZX dared him to while C - 3PO explained that doing so would result in a complete memory wipe . Dameron decided to take N1 - ZX back to the ship , prompting Nunzix to reply that his name of " Nunzix . " Pursued by Terex . Before they could leave , Terex flew over Kaddak in his ship " Carrion Spike " and called on the local gangster s to seize Poe . After reaching Dameron ' s freighter , N1 - ZX dismissed the freighter and chided Dameron for a " terrible rescue . " To mislead their pursuers , Dameron instead arranged for them to escape in his T - 70 X - wing fighter " Black One " . The starfighter s S - foils were modified to house droids . While traveling through hyperspace , Dameron got C - 3PO to reactivate Nunzix . Dameron confronted N1 - ZX and expressed his suspicion that Terex had provided him with disinformation to lead the Resistance into a trap . When N1 - ZX asked what made him say that , Terex ' s ship " Carrion Spike " and a fleet of Uglies emerged from hyperspace . Following a brief dogfight , Dameron ' s starfighter was hit by laser fire and crash - landed on the surfaced of a desert world . Nunzix lost his right arm during the crash but managed to flee with Dameron and C - 3PO inside a cave . When N1 - ZX asked if Dameron had a plan , Dameron replied they were going deeper but Nunzix countered it was a direction . Dameron responded that it was the start of the plan and told him to stay here if he did not like it . BB - 8 later tried to delay Terex and his Ranc gang but fell from his perch . When Dameron and C - 3PO expressed alarm , Nunzix brusquely remarked that they were still here and that they would not want the " little guy ' s " sacrifice to be in vain . Dameron responded that he was the " worst " and Nunzix taunted back that he had the information about Snoke . When Dameron voiced his suspicion it was a trap , N1 - ZX countered that maybe the information had been used to lure Dameron here . He then told Dameron to move on , calling him " meat . " Ultimately , C - 3PO decided to stay behind in an attempt to delay Terex and his men by summoning fjor - bat s . As the Ranc gang closed in on them , Dameron tried to convince Nunzix to fight . However , N1 - ZX responded that his combat programming had been trumped by the self - preservation software that C - 3PO had installed in him . Nunzix responded that he was not putting himself at risk as long as Dameron was still alive to defend him . Frustrated with Nunzix ' recalcitrance , Dameron raised his blaster and asked why he was still keeping him around . Nunzix taunted back that firing his blaster would give their position away . Shortly later , Dameron was contacted via comlink by his friend Temmin Wexley , who informed him that Black Squadron had arrived to rescue them . As the gangsters approached their hiding place , Dameron asked him to fight but Nunzix countered that the Ranc gang only wanted Dameron dead while he could surrender to live another day . Final stand and legacy . Dameron told Wexley about his predicament with Nunzix . After learning that Nunzix was a commando droid , Wexley transmitted a droid personality template of his old B1 battle droid Mister Bones to Dameron ' s comlink . Dameron placed the comlink on N1 - ZX ' s transponder . Nunzix protested but the personalty template overrode his previous programming . N1 - ZX became " Mister Bones " and attacked the Ranc gang , slaughtering several of the gangsters . Despite killing all of Terex ' s henchman , " Mister Bones " was shot and then beheaded by Terex , who confronted Dameron . Despite his disintegration , Dameron managed to defeat Terex in physical combat with the help of BB - 8 while Black Squadron wiped out Terex ' s fleet and Muva rescued Terex ' s slaves . Following the battle , Terex was taken into custody by the First Order Commander Malarus , who was displeased with his unsanctioned mission against the Resistance . Characteristics . N1 - ZX or " Nunzix " was a BX - series droid commando . As a spy droid , he was modified by C - 3PO to include a strong self - preservation programming . This programming made Nunzix concerned with protecting himself to the extent that he was unwilling to put his existence into danger . The droid called himself Nunzix and had a low opinion of the human Poe Dameron , referring to him a " meat . " Nunzix took pride in the fact that he had gathered valuable information on the First Order including the location of Supreme Leader Snoke . He refused to release the information until he had returned to the safety of the Resistance base on D ' Qar . Nunzix had a grumpy and sarcastic outlook in life . As a commando droid , N1 - ZX was fitted with a transponder that enabled his programming to be rewritten by a droid personality template . After he was reprogrammed as " Mister Bones " , N1 - ZX ceased to exist . As Mister Bones , N1 - ZX ' s chassis was able to kill several Ranc gangsters by using his severed right arm as a weapon . However , he was outmatched and disintegrated by Terex . Behind the scenes .
