Who is BT-1?

BT-1, nicknamed "Beetee," is a highly dangerous assassin droid who serves as the lethal counterpart to the protocol droid Triple Zero, concealing an arsenal of devastating weaponry beneath an astromech-like exterior. He operates in the criminal and Imperial underworld alongside Doctor Aphra.

Few droids in the Marvel Star Wars universe make an entrance quite like BT-1, who burst onto the scene in Darth Vader #3 in 2015, courtesy of the wickedly inventive team of Kieron Gillen and Salvador Larroca. This Modern Age creation has carved out a memorable niche across titles like Darth Vader, Star Wars, and Doctor Aphra, keeping dangerous company alongside the likes of Darth Vader himself, Anakin Skywalker, and the delightfully sinister Triple Zero. BT-1 is the kind of character who thrives in the shadows of the galaxy's most formidable figures, and any collector who's followed the Doctor Aphra corner of Marvel's Star Wars line knows this little droid punches well above its weight in terms of sheer presence and menace.
