**2-1B** (or **Too-Onebee**) was a 2-1B surgical droid that was a member of the Rebel Alliance. This medical droid was a very sophisticated, belonging to the older, yet remarkably astute 2-1B series. Because of the medical droid's intellect, 2-1B was independent and morality-driven. 2-1B's gentle touch can be attributed to the droid's precise hydraulic systems, that used several liquids at various temperatures. 2-1B had a great deal of experience with Humans, giving 2-1B a warm and caring bedside manner. 2-1B was also able to perform extremely precise operations that left little scars on patients.

## History

### Droid of the Empire

One of **Too-Onebee's** earliest assignments found him in service to the Galactic Empire on the planet Firro, a world recently subjugated by the Imperials. There, he was tasked with providing medical care to the civilians of Firro who were injured by Imperial atrocities. It was Too-Onebee's thankless job to mop up after what the Empire had left of the people there. After months of treating an unending parade of heavily wounded, the number of people coming to see Too-Onebee began to decrease as the Empire settled in for an occupation of the planet. It was then that the talented 2-1B medic droid came under notice of the newly proclaimed Governor of Firro while on an inspection of a crowded relief station.

#### Physician of a Governor

The Governor of Firro, seeing the droid's determined efficiency and skill, took Too-Onebee as his personal physician, ignoring the needs of the civilian wounded. Too-Onebee was distressed at having to leave the large numbers of the wounded and disapproved of his new master's overbearing ways, but was forced to serve him in accordance with his overriding programming directive that stated he had to heal living beings no matter whom they might be. Nevertheless, he longed to serve those he thought were on the "right" side. Too-Onebee's opportunity to do the "right" thing would soon come. He accompanied the Governor on a visit to the planet Wor Tandell. While inspecting the medical facilities at the Governor's mansion, he witnessed the assassination of the Governor at the hands of one of the Governor's aides. Staying true to his programming, Too-Onebee attempted to treat the mortally wounded Governor, despite believing him to be the most evil being he had ever encountered. The droid soon learned the aide to be an undercover rebel agent who was secretly collecting intel on fleet movements in the Tandell System when he was discovered by the Governor.

### Droid of the Rebellion

#### Treating Rebel Soldiers

The rebel agent was forced to kill the Governor to protect his mission. Too-Onebee believed the man, having dreamed about the rumored rebellion. He accompanied the rebel agent in his escape and joined the Rebel Alliance. 2-1B served with the rebel who recruited him on a few missions before being assigned to his most vital role for the Alliance. Along with FX-7, 2-1B arrived at Echo Base on Hoth and was quickly assigned as the head of the base infirmary. Too-Onebee was named chief of surgery. The medical droids treated a variety of injuries and patients, including Luke Skywalker's injuries from a Wampa attack. After the Battle of Hoth, Too-Onebee was evacuated aboard the transport *Bright Hope*. After 2-1B had reached the secret rebel rendezvous point, he was immediately assigned to the EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate *Redemption* to treat surviving wounded from Hoth. Luke was so impressed with the droid's skill and expertise that he specifically requested him to treat the wounds he sustained in his duel with Darth Vader while recovering aboard the *Redemption*. Too-Onebee was reassigned to the Mon Calamari Star Cruiser *Home One* sometime thereafter, where he served during the Battle of Endor. He continued to serve the Alliance's successor, the New Republic after Endor.

## Droid Overview

### Characteristics

**2-1B Surgical Droid:** Humanoid in appearance, all 2-1B series droids were equipped with encyclopedic memory banks. Their memory banks and modular limbs helped ensure that the droids gave the best course of medical treatment in any given medical situation. The droids also had stabilizing feet, hydraulic legs, vocabulators, hydraulics covered by a shell, and some even had hypodermic injectors, with many of its internal components can be seen through a translucent torso sheath. The droid model was highly advanced and intelligent with its programming being further advanced by some of the top physicians in the galaxy. The most useful characteristic of 2-1B droids was the ease with which owners could update their programming and appendages. A 2-1B droid could easily become a specialist in the fields of neurosurgery, podiatry, pediatrics, cybernetic limb replacement, and alien biology with a trip to a certified service center. While 2-1B droids were advanced, they were generally paired with an FX-Series droid for assistance and detailed patient analysis. A 2-1B model's arms featured exceptional joint articulation with precision-crafted pincers at the end of each limb.
