Legend

this small, spherical droid was designed on Jazbina to be a reporter. Much of its body was dedicated to a huge holocam recorder, and the rest was used to house a small repulsor engine which allowed 3DVO to float around. Three smaller recording devices surrounded the large central camera, and a communications array poked from the upper part of its body. It was assigned by Prepredenko to record Luke Skywalker's efforts to rescue his daughter, Syayna. Unknown to 3DVO, Prepredenko installed a small dart launcher in place of one of its sensors. After Luke used 3DVO's repulsors to avoid being eaten by a tikulini worm, he found Syayna and her resistance cell. Prepredenko activated the dart launcher, shooting Luke with a tranquilizer to incapacitate him while soldiers captured the rebels. 3DVO got a measure of revenge when he reported Darth Vader's arrival on Jazbina to Prepredenko. 3DVO told the ruler that Vader wanted Luke dead, instead of alive, hoping that Vader would kill Prepredenko for disoberying his orders. The plan worked, but 3DVO felt a twinge of remorse. The droid agreed to help Prepredenko get a message to Syayna, but the transmission was discovered by the Imperials. Stormtroopers arrived and shot Prepredenko and 3DVO, but not before the droid displayed the executions on public viewscreens.
