A male, a human by species, was an Imperial stormtrooper assigned to the DS-1 Death Star Mobile Battle Station. The stormtrooper was moving towards his designated post as the battle station approached Yavin 4, where a concealed Rebel base was located, and prepared to fire its superlaser. During his transit, he observed MSE-6-G735Y, a MSE-6 series repair droid, become trapped within the blast of a wall panel that had been destroyed during the battle. The droid was traveling from Sector GM1-A to the command bridge. Upon inspecting the droid, the stormtrooper realized it was still partially functional. However, the droid had sustained severe damage and took a while to recognize him as a stormtrooper. Despite needing to get to his post, he informed the droid that he would come back after the battle to fix it, but would leave some of the cosmetic damage. He was in the middle of explaining to the droid that its carbon scoring looked like racing stripes when the Death Star was destroyed, cutting him off.
