[edit] Biography
FX-7 operated in Echo Base on Hoth in 3 ABY. He assisted both Human and droid doctors in the Echo Base medical lab and was equipped with over twenty retractable manipulator arms which were useful for handling medical tools and doing multiple things at once. Although this model had become a bit outdated, when first manufactured, FX-7 had sophisticated medical diagnostic and procedural programming, which were still quite useful.
FX-7 assisted 2-1B on Hoth after Luke Skywalker was attacked by a wampa. The droids built up a good rapport with one another, and had worked together for more than a year. Despite this, 2-1B would often state his superiority over his medical assistant, due to his egotistical droid personality.
FX-7 and 2-1B escaped Hoth aboard the GR-75 Medium Transport Bright Hope, the last transport to leave the planet. After the bounty hunters 4-LOM and Zuckuss rescued the passengers of the Bright Hope, including the two medical droids, FX-7 was reassigned to the EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate Redemption.
[edit] Behind the scenes
In Star Wars Battlefront, FX-7 appears as a health droid all over the battlefield.
In Of Possible Futures: The Tale of Zuckuss and 4-LOM, author M. Shayne Bell mistakenly and inexplicably varies between referring to FX-7 first as "Effour-Seven," and then correctly calling the droid "Effex-Seven" once, the only time in the story the droid is correctly named, before once again returning to calling him "Effour-Seven," all within the course of several paragraphs.
