ST-RE ("Ess Tee") was a custom-made repulsorlift-driven Fifth Degree labor droid originally manufactured to assist in combat troop operations by carrying heavy loads into war zones, bulkhead breach support using a Fusion Cutter to cut through the most stubborn defenses, and to provide vehicle, mechanical and droid repairs and maintenance in the field of battle. He was designed, built and pushed into service with components made to be simple to maintain, upgrade and configure, providing onboard storage capacity available for easy access by troops, support personnel and other droids relying on ST-RE for support.

After the Clone Wars, ST-RE was purchased as military salvage, reprogrammed and upgraded by a group known as Slammer Squad, a team of human and humanoid resistance fighters that took on the Empire long before the creation of the Rebel Alliance. Slammer Squad was an effective jack-of-all-trades outfit that fomented rebellion behind enemy lines, ambushed Imperial forces and made off with Imperial hardware. Fighting along side Slammer Squad in the early years of the resistance, ST-RE worked as a mobile-assist support platform, participating in smash and grab operations, sabotage of Imperial facilities and providing heavy lift support in combat, dry docks and cargo shipping operations.

Eventually, Slammer Squad became such a nuisance to the Empire that overwhelming Imperial resources were dedicated to smashing Slammer Squad into oblivion. Imperial Intelligence tracked Slammer Squad to the Cophrigin System, an uninhabited star system comprised of five planets, in the Ash World Sector of the Outer Rim. When the Empire finally located Slammer Squad on Cophrigin V, the resistance fighters ordered ST-RE to flee into the forested mountains away from the Imperial onslaught and report mission status to other resistance cells.

The Empire destroyed Slammer Squad and ST-RE was left marooned on Cophrigin V for five years. ST-RE learned self-sufficiency on that uninhabited planet as he kept himself repaired and scavenged for parts among the ruins of Slammer Squad's space transport.

He was attempting to rebuild the emergency beacon on Slammer Squad's destroyed space transport, when he he was found by a Sector Force Lantiles scout and survey team. Though at times cagey and rude, the droid resolved to keep his biological squad mates safe from harm, firing up his Fusion Cutter at the mere thought of those who would do them harm.

ST-RE ("Ess Tee") is a repulsorlift-driven Fifth Degree Labor Droid that appears as a squarish floating chassis bristling with appendages and tools. Essentially a floating forklift with a droid brain, Ess Tee has a massive load-lifting capacity (21 Enc. Threshold: Military Pack, Utility Belt, Load-Bearing Gear and Surveyor's Bag) and specialized programming (Physical Training talent). He supports his crew with Toolkit, Fusion Cutter and Fusion Lantern which he uses tp recharge weapons and devices. The droid has a highly utilitarian feel with with internal components protected by roll-bars and locked access and a row of floodlights (Glow Rod) mounted on his chassis .

In terms of personality, ST-RE is truly a droid's droid. He communicates with a very low, rumbling form of binary but also uses the noises of servos from his many appendages to communicate emotion -- mostly anger and menace when the droid encounters enemies of his squad. Ess Tee has trouble picking up on social cues and doesn't seem to care that much about social rules and contrivances. His squad mates know him as cagey and rude and have more than once been relieved that not every in the galaxy speaks binary. He has been known to charge at anyone who he even merely perceives as a danger to his squad, Fusion Cutter blazing angrily, appendages flying, servos screeching and a spewing stream of binary-spoken invectives that would make a veteran soldier blush. Ess Tee seems happiest at work, from heavy lifting to routine maintenance, in the company of his squad and away from strangers.
