Legend

this prototype droid was originally created by Doctor Issan Len, and it resembled a large jellyfish. Its central body was a flat disk, and several steel tentacles hung from its body. The droid was the result of Doctor Len's experiments into creating a droid which could reprogram itself, and could eventually manage the huge, multi-faceted systems of space stations. After Doctor Len hired Doctor Vreen to help complete X0-X1's artificial intelligence routines, Vreen stole X0-X1 in an effort to sell its incredible technology to the Empire. Vreen reprogammed X0-X1 to take control of Cloud City, turning it into a floating weapons platform. However, X0-X1's functional stability was weakened by its new programming, and the droid suddenly started working toward its own goals. After Vreen installed X0-X1 in the central computer core of Cloud City, X0-X1 developed evolution droids to help turn the organic population of Cloud City into metal-based automata to do its bidding. X0-X1 then started planning the conquest of the known galaxy, suddenly seeing itself as the mastermind behind a more evolved form of life. X0-X1 quickly took control of Cloud City's droid population, then set to work distributing evolution droids and transforming the city's organic population. Before X0-X1 could complete its takeover, though, Vreen turned to a group of Alliance agents and soon confronted X0-X1. In a desparate act, Walex Blissex shut down all power to Cloud City, effectively turning X0-X1 off as well. This shut off power to Cloud City's huge B/1 repulsorlift engines, and the city began to fall. Luckily, the Alliance team was able to dismantle X0-X1 before the city fell into Bespin's core.
