DT-Unit-8813

DT-Unit-8813 was an Imperial Dark Trooper, made during the Clone Wars. He was created secretly by order of Palpatine, to be used as a Royal Guard. After he was built, he was sent to Quadrant Q, a secret military base planet used for training the red robed guards. 8813 served as a drill sergeant.

Creation
8813 was created at the The Works, a secret factory owned by Palpatine. The workers made him out of the toughest steel and gave him the best technology. He was kept at the factory, and eventually 8813 blew it up on purpose. The Chancellor's advisers were furious with 8813, and when Palpatine asked him why he did it, the Dark trooper said that there were workers that were impostors inside, CIS spies trying to find out more about the dark trooper. When the Emperor-to-be asked 8813 how did he know, 8813's reply triggered something in Palpatine, so he decided to keep the droid for future purposes. 8813's reply was: "I just . . . felt it".

Order 66
When Order 66 came, 8813 was released for his first mission: hunting down the Jedi. The Emperor thought it would be good training, even though top Imperial engineers begged for permission to study him and make more Dark Troopers. 8813 slaughtered 23 Jedi in all, but he claimed that the clone troopers weren't fit for him. Palpatine later let the engineers study him, and two more dark trooper versions were created. There were 10 in all, 5 of each version (Not including 8813).

Royal Guard Membership
The Emperor decided to have 8813 as his body guard. The dark trooper was shipped off to Quadrant Q, the military base planet used for training Royal Guards. Official Imperial records claimed that he was taken to a distant world for repairs. After 8813's arrival and skill demonstrations, the officials there put him as a drill sergeant at the base. 8813 was given a red paint job to mark his Royal Guard membership.

After a a year or two at the base, the Emperor put a chip inside the droid. If his body was destroyed, he would be reactivated (come back to life) as the Phase 1 model. He he was destroyed in that body, he would come back as Phase 2. The Emperor later abandoned him after a few more years of service.

The Streets
8813 was technically still an Imperial agent, but he was allowed to do anything he wanted. 8813 was released into the public. He got to use a red TIE Defender starfighter. 8813 modified it, such as giving it a better hyperdrive. 8813 went to Nar Shaddaa, to discover that the Hutt that he wanted to work for was killed by another droid. 8813 hung out at a cantina and while he was there he heard that the Death Star was destroyed by the Rebellion. Not knowing what the "Death Star" or the "Rebellion" is, 8813 headed off to Coruscant to get some info from the Army Command.

Capture
When he was on his way to the Galactic Hub, he passed through an older route to not draw any attention. After he noticed that his TIE was out of gas, he flew down to the surface of the nearest planet: Hoth. 8813 landed less than a mile away from Echo Base, and after a short amount of time, he was found and he and his ship were taken to the base.

Once 8813 was taken in, he felt another Force user in the base (Luke Skywalker). At this time, he did not know why or how he could sense people, and thought it was normal for someone to do that, not knowing it was the Force.
