Yperio Baobab was a Human hailing from Manda, and identified as male. He worked as a droid programmer and is regarded by the New Republic as the originator of contemporary droidspeak.
Yperio, a cyberphilologist, belonged to the respected Baobab family, who owned the merchant fleet. He existed approximately around 200 BBY. Throughout his life, he significantly enhanced existing electronic, code-based droid languages, for example, CBell-1. This resulted in the automatons gaining the capability to remember and transmit various forms of sensory information to other droids and computers. The subsequent language became known as Bab-Prime.
