The BD unit, a model of explorer droid
An explorer droid[1] was a type of droid that assisted individuals in remote or dangerous locations. One such model was the BD unit, which was designed to be an assistant to explorers or researchers who operated alone in the field. The BD unit BD-1[2] accompanied the Jedi Master Eno Cordova, and later the former Jedi Padawan Cal Kestis.[3]
These droid types were designed to store and gather information. BD-1 was able to scan objects and present information about the item to Kestis. BD-1 could also project holograms of his old master that were stored within him.[3] In 9 ABY,[4] the unit BD-72[5] projected holographic building instructions for an N-1 Starfighter to the Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin.[6]

SWCC 2019: 9 Things We Learned from The Mandalorian Panel on StarWars.com (backup link) establishes that Star Wars: The Mandalorian is set about five years after the events of Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 4 ABY. Therefore, the events of The Mandalorian must have taken place around 9 ABY. As The Book of Boba Fett, a New Series, Coming December 2021 on Disney+ on StarWars.com (backup link) states that The Book of Boba Fett is set within the timeline of The Mandalorian, it must therefore also be set around 9 ABY.
