Droid 3-76 was the property of Elad Zhalto and operated in 3 ABY, according to the galactic standard year. Elad Zhalto once engaged the services of Isabalia to persuade Na'Tala to once again work for him, threatening to dispatch his droid 3-76 if she refused; Isabalia was aware that sending 3-76 was tantamount to ordering Na'Tala's assassination. She took the assignment and found Na'Tala.
The short story "Beyond the Clouds," written by Lilliam Rivera and included in the 2020 collection From a Certain Point of View: The Empire Strikes Back, marked 3-76's debut. Del Rey's Star Wars books account initially teased the character in a promotional tweet, but without providing a name.
