WED-15-I7Star Wars Encyclopedia was a WSB-15 sabotage droid, a fourth-degree military sabotage droid model physically identical to the WED Treadwell repair droid.

By 0 BBY, is set around the time of , the events of which are dated to 0 BBY by The New Essential Chronology. WED-15-I7 served the Galactic Empire as a maintenance droid with a "Septoid" nickname—both characteristic of the WED-15 Septoid Treadwell model the individual WSB-15 was physically identical to.

==Behind the scenes==
WED-15-I7 was created for the 1996 A New Hope Limited set of the Decipher, Inc. Star Wars Customizable Card Game. Of note, the October 5, 1998 Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary used the same image to represent another droid, WED 15 Septoid 2.Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary While the droid was called "WED15-I7" by A New Hope Limited, June 30, 1998's Star Wars Encyclopedia would call it "WED-15-I7." This article treats the latter name as correct.
Discrepancies also exist with WED-15-I7's class. With A New Hope Limited describing it as a maintenance droid nicknamed "Septoid," the Star Wars Encyclopedia specifically identified it as a WED model droid. 2002's 16th issue of The Official Star Wars Fact File magazine would picture WED-15-I7 and identify the droid as a WED-15 Septoid Treadwell. However, in March 2008, Wizards of the Coast's roleplaying game sourcebook Threats of the Galaxy contradicted the previous materials by including a picture of WED-15-I7 in its entry for WSB-15 sabotage droids. Although the December 9, 2008 The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia would again describe WED-15-I7 as a Septoid and a maintenance droid, this article treats the droid's WSB-15 sabotage droid class as correct.
