BD explorer droid

BD units, also called BD explorer droids, were a model of explorer droid.
==Characteristics==
BD units were companion droids designed to assist with operations in remote and dangerous locations across the galaxy; programmed to be the ideal assistant to researchers or explorers operating alone in the field, they were designed to traverse all types of terrain. As a result of their manufacturer collapsing, BD units were a relatively rare sight in the galaxy. A type of similarStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Order looking and similarly named droid, the BDX droid, also existed but was much larger in scale.
==History==
One such droid was BD-1, who accompanied Jedi Master Eno Cordova, and later the Jedi Padawan Cal Kestis in 14 BBY.Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order to 14 BBY. Another BD droid was in a safehouse on the planet Mapuzo. Another BD unit was TA-418, who assisted Doctor Eustacia Okka, former professor at the Shadow University institution, during the Imperial Era. BD-72 was another BD unit who was under the ownership of Peli Motto around 9 ABY. establishes that The Mandalorian is set about five years after the events of Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 4 ABY. Therefore, the events of The Mandalorian must have taken place around 9 ABY. As states that The Book of Boba Fett is set within the timeline of The Mandalorian, it must therefore also be set around 9 ABY.
