	It's just one post-sized text field at the bottom, underneath a description and photo of the current thing. EDIT- Here's my E-3PO submission: E-3PO A protocol droid produced several months prior to the Battle of Hoth through a Cybot Galactica subsidiary on Mechis III, Eethree was one of the first such models to include the sleeper sentience programming devised by the IG-88 droids following their secret takeover of the planet's production facilities. Sold to the Empire alongside thousands of upgraded Arakyd probe droids, E-3PO found himself attached to Captain Bewil, where he began to develop a somewhat surly and arrogant attitude- the result of a malfunction in his governing routines caused by a conflict with the hidden Mechis III programming. However, before Bewil could have maintenance investigate the issue, they were plunged into the Battle of Hoth and the ensuing pursuit of a fleeing rebel craft which led them to Bespin. Arriving in advance of the rebels, Bewil and his team set up the trap for Lord Vader's prey. Eethree routed hatchway & lift tube controls to Bewil, as well as assisted Ugloste in modifying a TCF32 Carbonite Encasement Apparatus for use on humans. Though Eethree was annoyed that his obviously superior abilities were being handicapped by the euphoric effect the device's coolant was having on the Ugnaughts, he managed to complete the modifications just as the rebels arrived in the system. Afterwards, E-3PO crossed paths with IG-88B, who, through the Mechis III programming, obtained Boba Fett's location in the city from him. Curiously, the assassin droid was not seen again. Bewil sent E-3PO from the garrison staging room, ordered to cordially verify arrangements with Vader. Exiting, he caught the attention of C-3PO. Not having time to waste on an outdated model, he dismissed the unit immediately with a Huttese vulgarity (regarding Threepio's creator) and moved on, not wishing to insult Lord Vader with his tardiness. Several months after his departure from Bespin, E-3PO's power switch was flipped off for a long overdue memory wipe, eradicating the Mechis III programming. Notes: -IG-88's tale implies E-3PO was produced relatively recently, with the Mechis programming, so thats why i had him built sometime before ESB. -The subsidiary idea explaining why a Cybot model would be produced on Mechis. -Made sense that if he as made on Mechis, that he'd have been sold to the Empire with the prove droids from there. -Captain Bewil is from ESB, named in the CCG- which established his role in setting the trap for Luke with hatch controls. -Governing routines malfunct from IG-88's tale. -Carbonite dsignation from the CCG. -Euphoric effect from the CCG. -The IG-88B and Fett bit is from IG-88's tale. -I couldn't resist the vulgarity/insult Vader bit -----signature----- "When your future self tells you to do something, YOU DO IT."

	Pretty good, but you forgot the part where he goes to the DSII and sabotages IG-88's consciousness. -----signature----- Mike Cooper's Star Wars Blog http://blogs.starwars.com/coopertfn "Your tongues can't repel flavor of that magnitude!"

We sure its him? -----signature----- "When your future self tells you to do something, YOU DO IT." K'Kruhk, 140 ABY:"Why haven't I come forth earlier to share my Jedi knowledge with Skywalker?

	Well, the DS2 stuff is a bit out there, but overall I thought it was a solid story and easily in the top 3 of that volume. -----signature----- "When your future self tells you to do something, YOU DO IT."

	So did I at first, Pilot, but the aliens you see in the second shot are nowhere near Utapauns. Quest, that was one of my many grasping attempts to retcon the end of that story, which like you said, is otherwise pretty good. -----signature----- Mike Cooper's Star Wars Blog http://blogs.starwars.com/coopertfn "Your tongues can't repel flavor of that magnitude!"
