BU-11 was a BU-series bartender droid that worked in Ziro's Palace during the Clone Wars.
Characteristics
The droid had black and blue plating with Ziro the Hutt's mark painted on his chest and a bow-tie around his neck. Designed to serve elite clientele, BU-11 loathed serving the thugs that frequented Ziro's club and was relieved to be freed from the Hutt's employ. After overhearing a pair of clones lamenting the bartender at the newly opened 79's, a cantina frequented by clone troopers, BU-11 volunteered and was immediately given the job.[1]
Biography
BU-11 working in Ziro's Palace.
In 21 BBY, he was seen serving drinks in Ziro's Palace together with R2-C2, when Senator Padmé Amidala went to see the Hutt. Amidala wanted Ziro to talk to Jabba the Hutt, the nephew of Ziro. Jabba's son, Rotta was kidnapped by the Separatists, but Count Dooku, leader of the CIS made it look like the Republic had captured Rotta. Jabba then cut off all communications with the Republic, which meant that the Republic Army could not move through Hutt Space. Amidala thought that by talking to Ziro, she could explain the situation to him, so that Jabba would understand. She didn't know Ziro was part of the plot, and she was imprisoned by him. Ziro wanted to kill her, but Amidala managed to contact C-3PO, who alerted the Republic which sent a squad of clone troopers to free the Senator, and Ziro was taken into captivity.
After Ziro's arrest, all of his possessions were confiscated by the Republic. This also included the Hutt's bartender droid, BU-11.[1]
