BL-17
Bl-17 is a humanoid droid, shaped similarly to a
3P0 unit. He (masculine programming) was owned by Boba Fett
during the early years of the New Order. Bl-17 was painted
similar colors to Boba Fett's Mandalorian Armor, which made
the droid look very much like Fett. The droid often assisted
Boba Fett in his many hunts for new Bounties.
BL-17 does not carry a massive array of weaponry;
just a rectangular shaped blaster pistol. But being a droid,
he can fire the blaster with frightening accuracy and serve
as the perfect, and deadly, backup for Boba Fett.
BL-17 once befriended C-3PO and turned him
against R2-D2 while Fromm's gang put a bomb in Joben's
racing ship, the White Witch. Fett chased Thall and Kea, but
they escaped, joining in the speeder race. At the same time,
C-3PO learned of the treachery of BL-17 (who was then
crushed by falling machines) and discovered the bomb planted
in the Witch. Angry at the damage done to his droid, Fett
took Fromm and his gang hostage, to turn them over to Jabba
the Hutt, where he received a great reward for them.
BL-17 's whereabouts are currently unknown. It is
unknown if the droid is still in Boba Fett's possession or
if the droid was destroyed. It is believed that Bl-17 must
know some secrets about Boba Fett, and that the missing
droid is the 'key' to Fett.
No one has seen BL-17 since his disappearance,
except for maybe Bossk, who saw a droid in a secured room
while about Slave I, that could have been BL-17.
