E-3PO (Bespin)

E-3PO was a silver 3PO-series protocol droid with yellow photoreceptors who was present in Cloud City, a tibanna gas mining colony that floated in the Life Zone of the planet Bespin, shortly after the Battle of Hoth. E-3PO was equipped with a TechSpan I module which allowed him to directly access Imperial networks. After exiting a room of Imperial stormtroopers, he was greeted by a fellow 3PO unit known as C-3PO but responded with a Huttese insult and continued down the hallway. After calling the protocol droid rude, C-3PO heard an R2 series astromech droid inside the room that E-3PO had exited and, believing that it was his friend R2-D2, entered to investigate the sound. However, instead of finding R2, he was blasted to pieces by stormtroopers.
