SE-5 was a worker droid of the SE-2 worker droid model, and it was built by Cybot Galactica on the planet of Affa. Standing at a height of 1.79 meters, this particular droid featured white plating and black sensors. In 34 ABY, during the First Order's occupation of Batuu, SE-5 functioned as a pilot for the criminal organization known as the Finto Gang. A bounty of 675 credits was placed on SE-5, citing crimes like attempted theft, damage to property belonging to antiques dealer Dok-Ondar, counterfeiting, damage to spaceport property, and the unlawful taking of ship parts and cargo.
The Bounty Hunters' Guild assigned the SE-5 bounty to a visitor at Black Spire Outpost located on Batuu. The visitor utilized a thermal scanner to locate SE-5, who was hidden inside one of the outpost's buildings. The visitor then informed the local Guildmaster's Hideout of the droid's whereabouts and received the promised reward.
SE-5 was a character in Star Wars: Batuu Bounty Hunters, an augmented reality video game that launched at Walt Disney World on July 27, 2022. The image used for SE-5 is actually a repurposed promotional image of the droid Essie, who made an appearance in the 2016 Anthology Series film, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
