BS7 Series

Two BS7s encounter a C3P0 unit.

The BS7-series Media/Group Relations droid from Cybot Galactica was the seventh in a line of high end model of class three droids aimed at the corporate and government market. The line was originally designed to fill the role of spokesperson or media interference for groups that found themselves overburdened with questions. These design specification meant considerable effort and processing power went into the unit’s speaking and ‘life like’ non-verbal communication efforts. Wide range translators and cultural databases were considered extraneous for the base model, who’s expected interactions would be limited to their owner’s primary culture and language. The BS7, as with every model after BS3, comes with two “expansion slots” in the chest area for unit customization.

The BS7, like the rest of the line, sold as well as could be expected within its limited field for the first few years. Sales dipped later, however, when news broke that a glitch in the ethics interpretation system would cause the droids on more “liberal” settings to argue passionately and rather successfully for their own emancipation. Cybot Galactica rushed out a firmware patch for this issue, but sales never completely recovered. The situation did, however, see a number of emancipated BS7s among civilized planets, where they have found work in hospitality, news anchors and, in the case of one pair, an extensive and award winning music career.

"SAMI"

BS7-Silver/Head A/Male/Body I, known as SAMI, is a twenty-five-year-old Cybot Galactica droid originally sold and activated on the rather civilized planet of Naboo. He worked as a receptionist, advertising and media relations droid for his first owner, a small legal company. Flush with cash and unsure how the droid would be used, they sprung for both the lateral thinking and enhanced charisma expansions. Over a decade later, when the law office closed, Sami was sold alongside the rest of the firm's assets. He was eventually purchased by Derek Cylighter, a used droid reseller who made regular rounds through the sector. Derek’s debt to the Hutts, however, resulted in his ship being sold and the merchant himself stranded on Tatooine. With little other help to turn to, Derek opened a repair shop in Mos Contina with Sami as his salesman. During this stable, if poor, time he learned several negotiating and trade skills. Derek died almost a decade later in a workshop accident, resulting in Sami once again going on the open market.

This time he was purchased by Teemo the Hutt, who was looking for a gift and assistant for one of his long time black market contacts on a more civilized world near Ryloth. With that in mind, the Hutt had the droid packed up and placed on his favorite Trandoshian slaver’s ship, who he knew would eventually be heading back in that direction, while he made the final arrangements for the transfer. Fate intervened, and the Trandoshian’s ship was stolen with Sami still onboard.
