Unidentified BX-series droid commando 1 (Cad Bane)

The title of this article is conjectural. Although this article is based on canonical information, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

Around 21 BBY^[3], a BX-series droid commando was active during the Clone Wars and operated within a group of bounty hunters led by Cad Bane which were hired on behalf of the Hutt Clan to release the incarcerated Hutt crime lord Ziro Desilijic Tiure from his imprisonment under the Galactic Republic on Coruscant. To achieve this goal, this commando droid accompanied the rest of Bane’s group in a coordinated attack on the Republic Executive Building, eliminating several Senate Commandos led by Captain Jayfon which were guarding one of the executive building’s landing platforms.^[1]

After dispatching the guards, this commando droid was directed by Bane to impersonate the voice of the deceased Captain Jayon in order to fool the rest of the Senate’s security detail, claiming the noise from the firefight was the result of anti-war protesters and that they had been taken care of. Following this, the commando droid would dawn Jayfon's armor and alongside another BX-series droid in league with Bane, would clear the platform of the other dead senate guards while the rest of the group infiltrated the Senate Building, seized its power control room, and took nine Republic Senators hostage, using them to force Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine into permitting Ziro’s release from prison. Once Ziro was freed, both commando droids would board an airspeeder and flee Coruscant with the rest of Bane’s group.^[1]
