Biography[]
PZ-99 was a security droid who served at the Battle of Jakku.[2]
By between 31 ABY and 32 ABY,[1] PZ-99 was in the service of Hoff, a captain of the Resistance, when their ship crashed on Taul. Under the leadership of C-3PO, PZ-99 and the remaining surviving droids: VL-44, CO-34, 2MED2, and their prisoner O-MR1 ventured in search of a homing beacon belonging to a First Order vessel.[2]
PZ-99 sacrifices himself for the other droids.
During the journey to find the homing beacon, PZ-99's sensors recognized that the ground was moving due to the presence of spice spiders. Instructing the droids to stand back, PZ-99 opened fire on the encroaching spice spiders showcasing his talents with his blasters and flamethrower. PZ-99 provided cover for the droids as VL-44 cleared a path to higher ground. As the droids climbed onto the rocks, PZ-99 followed his second directive programming and stayed behind, fending off the remaining spice spiders. While C-3PO remarked that PZ-99 sacrificed himself for their safety, O-MR1 expressed that, as his enemy, PZ-99's destruction worked in his favor.[2]

Notes and references[]
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary states that Poe Dameron joined the Resistance three years before the Starkiller Incident, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 34 ABY. Therefore, Dameron joined the Resistance in 31 ABY. As Dameron is a member of the Resistance during the events of Star Wars Special: C-3PO 1, it must take place during or after 31 ABY. Furthermore, the novel Force Collector features the arm of C-3PO, which means that Star Wars Special: C-3PO 1 must take place some time before Force Collector.
'Star Wars: Force Collector' Author Kevin Shinick on How His Story Ties into 'Star Wars' Canon by Dave Trumbore on Collider.com (November 19, 2019) (backup link archived on November 19, 2019)– states that Force Collector takes place a few years prior to Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, or 34 ABY, meaning that the latest Force Collector can take place is at least two years prior to 34 ABY, or 32 ABY. Therefore, Star Wars Special: C-3PO 1 takes place between 31 and 32 ABY.
