MT-7

"The mission must be completed. I am not broken."

―MT-7^[1]

MT-7 was a BX-series droid commando who briefly participated in the Clone Wars as a soldier of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. His first mission sent him to the planet Akiva, but a rainstorm soon separated him from the rest of his unit. The storm left MT-7 damaged, immobilized, and unable to finish his mission. MT-7 was trapped on Akiva for several years and still remained operative in 3 ABY. By that time, MT-7 was located at an Abandoned Hideout, trapped by debris as a result of the rainstorm.

Biography

"BX unit reporting, designation MT-7. Help is needed. Reconnaissance mission incomplete."

―MT-7^[1]

MT-7 was a BX-series droid commando who served the Confederacy of Independent Systems as a soldier in the Separatist Droid Army during the Clone Wars.^[1] By 19 BBY,^[3] he was deployed to the jungle planet Akiva as part of a unit consisting of himself and several B1-series battle droids. He was tasked with locating a high-ranking Separatist officer's crashed vessel. MT-7 and his unit were based at an Abandoned Hideout located in the Akivan region known as the Karaba Foothills. However, a rainstorm separated the unit and left MT-7 damaged and stranded for decades.^[1]

MT-7 was stranded on Akiva by the time of the Galactic Civil War.

By the time of the Galactic Civil War in 3 ABY,^[4] MT-7 remained untouched, unaware that the Clone Wars had ended and obsessed with completing his mission. MT-7 was in a critical condition, with his actuators and comms rendered inoperable due to the damage he had sustained from the rainstorm. At that point, MT-7 was trapped by debris as an aftermath of the monsoon, rendered incapable of moving.^[1]

This section of the article assumes 100% game completion of Star Wars Outlaws. Any alternate stories may be noted in the "Behind the scenes" section. The events in this section may or may not have been confirmed as canon.

In that year,^[4] the scoundrel Kay Vess and her partner-in-crime, the BX unit ND-5, discovered the stranded MT-7 when they traveled to the Abandoned Hideout. Vess and ND-5 helped locate MT-7's unit and allow MT-7 to transmit intel that was collected and left by his squad, convincing him to believe that his mission was successful. ND-5 later claimed that General Grievous had dispatched him to pass on his personal commendations to MT-7 before ordering him to stand down. At MT-7's request, ND-5 and Kay Vess received his decryption module, allowing them to decode Separatist transmissions made during the Clone Wars.^[1]

Assumption ends here.

Characteristics

"Clone Wars? Are you saying he's been out here for 25 years?"
"I've seen this before with BX-units that can no longer complete their objectives. They get fixated on them, lose their sense of place and time. I doubt he realizes the war ended."

―Kay Vess and ND-5^[1]

MT-7 was a BX-series droid commando with the same attributes as other BX models,^[1] standing 1.91 meters tall,^[2] along with having white sensors and silver plating. Although he had the programming of a standard BX unit, MT-7 became obsessive in completing his mission after being stranded on Akiva, unable to identify his surroundings and having difficulty in speech.^[1]

Equipment

"Will you take my decoder module? To keep it from the enemy."

―MT-7, to ND-5^[1]

MT-7 was equipped with a decryption module, which granted access to encrypted Separatist transmissions.^[1]
