ASP-704, a masculine ASP-7 labor droid, was brought in by Eugene Talmont, who held the position of Imperial prefect for the Mos Eisley spaceport located on the planet Tatooine. This occurred not long before the Battle of Yavin during the year 0 BBY. Its responsibility was to load freight onto a GR-45 medium transport. Following some goading from IM4-099, ASP-704 responded by striking IM4-099, causing it to fall.
