RX-48 was an RX-series pilot droid with a masculine programming. He once piloted pleasure liners for the Galactic Tourist Bureau, until he accidentally crashed a tour bus into a space station. At other points in time, he also worked for Jabba Desilijic Tiure, a Hutt crime lord based on Tatooine.[3]

Around 18 BBY,[2] RX-48 was free from service to a master, and offered his skills for hire—marketing himself as "the cheapest of the best." That year, he was hired by disgraced Imperial officer Visler Korda to pilot the stolen prototype scout ship Star Herald to the Xala system. They clumsily shot down the Whisper Bird, the Graf family where it crashed on an ice moon. While trying to hunt the vessel, the Star Herald was boarded by snowtroopers who shot the droid.[3]
