8D8 was an 8D Smelter droid manufactured by Roche Hive Mechanical Apparatus Design and Construction Activity for Those Who Need the Hive's Machines.[1] Originally a starship maintenance[4] and heavy-labor industrial droid,[5] 8D8 was sold to[4] and enslaved[6] by the Hutt crime lord[7] Jabba Desilijic Tiure.[4] While in Jabba's employ, the smelter droid was lobotomized, reprogrammed and used to torture both droids and organics.[2] 8D8 worked at Cyborg Operations within Jabba's Palace[6] on the Outer Rim planet Tatooine[8] and was under the command[6] of the overseer droid EV-9D9, whom he secretly hated.[2]
Around 4 ABY, during the time that Rebels came to rescue Han Solo from Jabba, 8D8 was following EV-9D9's order by torturing a GNK power droid with a mechanical smelting device that featured a hot glowing iron.
