Aitch-Sixteen

Aitch-Sixteen was an astromech droid that worked with starships of the Jedi Order in the hangars of the Jedi Temple on the Core Worlds planet Coruscant. Sometime between 52 and 43 BBY,Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know gives the age of Dooku at the time of the First Battle of Geonosis as eighty years old. Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates the Battle of Geonosis to 22 BBY, placing Dooku's birth year in 102 BBY. The script of Dooku: Jedi Lost states that Dooku is in his fifties at the time of Aitch-Sixteen's appearance, meaning that those events occurred between 52 BBY, in which Dooku is fifty years old, and 43 BBY, in which he is fifty-nine. Aitch-Sixteen was ordered to fit laser capacitors into the interceptor of the Jedi Knight Rael Averross. After speaking with the Jedi Master Dooku in the hangar, Averross called out to Aitch-Sixteen, asking whether the droid had fitted the laser capacitors. Aitch-Sixteen had not finished the job, replying to Averross in binary, and the Jedi Knight scolded the astromech droid, claiming it had been given enough time.
