- Role: TX-73 assists General Xalax with creating battle strategies, leading his droid army, and other decision making. TX-73 is also in charge of managing logistical concerns, and is the official Captain of the Scar Of Lasan, Xalax’s flagship.
- Permissions: N/A
- Links: Clone Wars, Lasan
- Age: 923 years
- Model: T-Series Tactical Droid
- Appearance: TX-73 is a T-Series Tactical Droid with a green and white paint job. TX-73 does not show as many outward modifications as most members of Xalax’s army do, but is hardly devoid of alterations. For instance, TX-73 has a massively improved logical processor, which puts her tactical capabilities on par with an average Super Tactical Droid. Additionally, TX-73 has a pair of foot-mounted rocket boosters, which allow her to fly for short bursts of time.
- Name: TX-73
- Loyalties: Xalax
- Notable Equipment: E-5 Blaster Rifle
- Skills: Battle strategizing, logistical management, mathematical calculation, blaster combat, starship captaining
- Languages: Binary (primary language), Galactic Basic (fluent), various Separatist languages, such as Pak-Pak, Geonosian, and Skakoverbal (fluent)
- Personality: TX-73 has feminine programming, a rarity among T-Series Tactical Droids. However, this quirk does not diminish her effectiveness. In fact, TX-73 is far more capable than an average T-Series Tactical Droid. Centuries of experience have ensured this. TX-73 is very loyal to Xalax, but is not afraid to question his judgement when she thinks he has made a bad decision. She also is less dedicated to Xalax’s mission of eventually eliminating or enslaving all organic life than he is.
- Weapon of Choice: E-5 Blaster Rifle
- Combat Function: Medium-range shooter and battlefield officer.
- Survivor: Just like the rest of Xalax’s army, TX-73 is a hardened survivor.
- Improved Logical Processor: TX-73 has modified herself with an improved logical processor, which puts her intelligence on par with an average super tactical droid.
- Advanced Age: While it provides plenty of experience, being over 900 is not without its drawbacks. For instance, TX-73 frequently needs to repair herself, and is not up-to-date with all of the Galaxy’s latest weapons technology.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
TX-73 was first constructed in 22 BBY on Geonosis. She was assembled alongside dozens of other tactical droids, and no particular attention was paid to her production. However, for reasons unknown even to her, she ended up with feminine programming. She has never been bothered by this fact, believing that it makes her exceptional compared to her masculine counterparts.
TX-73 was assigned the rank of Lieutenant, and was first deployed in the Battle of Fest early in the Clone Wars. She led the droid forces under her command to victory against a more numerous Republic force, marking the start of a long and successful service record. She was eventually promoted to the rank of Captain, and placed under the command of General Xalax. Along with the rest of Xalax’s forces, she was trapped in the crust of the planet Lasan for 360 years, thanks to a hastily planned attack ordered by the Separatist Council, and the malfunctioning of an experimental teleportation system.
When TX-73 and the rest of Xalax’s forces were eventually freed from their imprisonment, she continued serving Xalax, assisting him with rebuilding the heavily damaged and decaying fleet. During this time, she continuously upgraded herself in order to stay functional, just like the rest of Xalax’s army. She departed Lasan along with the rest of Xalax’s forces about 5 centuries afterwards, continuing to serve Xalax in a new and dangerous era.
