- "Yes, I am going to request a transfer. I heard from an arfive unit onboard the Rebel Fleet that they're looking for protocol droids at the Alliance Records Office on Fusai. Translations and datawork are a little bit more my speed. No one ever had their arms pulled off while record keeping."
"[R2-D2 asks about joining C-3PO]"
"No, you can't come. They have no openings for mop buckets." - ―C-3PO and R2-D2
The Alliance Records Office was operated by the Rebel Alliance on the astronomical object Fusai during the Imperial Era. According to the rebel protocol droid C-3PO, translating and datawork was among the work carried out at the records office.[1]
By 0 ABY,[2] C-3PO had heard from a rebel R5 astromech droid unit that the office on Fusai was looking for protocol droid staff. After an attack on the Alliance's[1] Outer Rim[3] Sunspot Prison[1] that year,[2] C-3PO told the astromech R2-D2 that[1] he[3] planned to request a transfer to the Fusai records office, believing the work there to be safer and more suitable for him. R2-D2 then asked if[1] he[3] could accompany C-3PO, to which the protocol droid stated he could not as there were no openings for astromechs at the office.[1]
