B9-DT, a black and red astromech droid, served the Galactic Empire as property. This droid possessed a collection of maps along with Imperial communications. Following the Battle of Endor, where the second Death Star was obliterated and Emperor Palpatine met his death, B9-DT was discovered on the ice planet Hoth, situated within the Anoat sector. In an attempt to break through a blockade imposed on the Anoat sector after the Battle of Endor, "Happy" Dapp, a gangster, and Shortpaw, his Chadra-Fan companion and the head of the Trade Spine League trade group, sent a scoundrel to Hoth with orders to seize the droid. The scoundrel, after engaging in multiple battles with Imperial forces, accomplished the mission and brought B9-DT back to Burnin Konn.
