A stochastic decision chip was a type of experimental droid processor developed during the Old Republic. This module allowed a droid to make random decisions about given situations for a time, allowing itself to learn the best course of action in each situation. Stochastic chip were used by Republic forces by the time of the Battle of Naboo but most of the droids equipped with such chips were later destroyed. During the Galactic Civil War, the only remaining chip was contained by a B2 super battle droid taken on Naboo by the Ultragungan Militia as a spoil of war.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] a spacer managed to access to the droid thanks to the help of Boss Nass and destroyed it to recover the stochastic decision chip.[1]

Notes and references
- ↑ 1.0 1.1
Star Wars Galaxies (post-NGE) — Legacy Quest: "Old Republic Droid Modules: The Gungan Battle Droid" on Naboo
- ↑ The opening crawl of Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided dates the game to after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, and additionally, Serji-X Arrogantus, who died in Star Wars (1977) 10—the events of which The New Essential Chronology dates to 0 ABY—appears in the game. Therefore, at least a portion of Star Wars Galaxies must be set in that year. Furthermore, in the game Ruwan Tokai references the destruction of the Death Star as having occurred one year earlier, and Strongholds of Resistance also places the events of Galaxies' Chapter 9: "The Fury of Exar Kun" in 1 ABY. Lastly, while Chapter 11: "The Battle of Echo Base" features the Battle of Hoth—dated to 3 ABY by The New Essential Chronology—the developers have stated that the portrayal of that battle in the game is intentionally anachronistic. Therefore, the events of Star Wars Galaxies must span from 0 ABY to around 1 ABY.
