==Biography==
HT-IN-4 was an information droid that was forced to work in the spice mines controlled by the criminal Pyke Syndicate on the planet Kessel during the reign of the Galactic Empire. Equipped with a restraining bolt, he worked in the mines' control room providing highly valuable information to the facility's administrators, but was easy to miss amid the hustle and bustle of the busy room. In 10 BBY,Star Wars: Timelines dates the events on Kessel in Solo: A Star Wars Story to 10 BBY. the control room was taken over by a group of outlaws affiliated with the Crimson Dawn syndicate, who had arrived on Kessel in order to try and steal coaxium from the Pykes. After the criminal L3-37 removed the restraining bolt from the droid DD-BD, he began removing the bolts from others in the room.Solo: A Star Wars Story
Those droids freed by DD-BD in turn began to free others, with HT-IN-4 among those who had their bolts removed. The freed information droid then rushed hurriedly across the control room past DD-BD as he removed the bolt from the programmer droid CM-3XB. The droids began destroying the control room, and the revolt quickly escalated when they also remotely freed the Pykes' organic slaves in the mine tunnels, allowing them to rise up against their captors. HT-IN-4 stood by one of the room's consoles with the astromech droid KR2-M80 as the criminals in the control room remotely guided their companion Han Solo to the mines' coaxium vault, after which the criminals left the room in order to escape Kessel.
