T7-Series Astromech Droid
The T7 was an astromech droid series used in
the days of the Old Republic and especially in the
Great Galactic War.
During the Great Galactic War, a smuggler named
Nico Okarr was in possession of one such droid,
which would later become possession of the Jedi
Knight known as Hero of Tython.
Around the year 3,641 BBY, combat upgrades
that were available to the T7-series were
manufactured on Nar Shaddaa, and considered by
some to be of the finest quality available.
