- "I'm the most efficient medical droid in the Galaxy, even more capable than Effex-Seven. And certainly possessing a better bedside manner."
- ―2-1B [src]
2-1B (or Too-Onebee) was a 2-1B surgical droid that joined the Alliance to Restore the Republic as a medic.
The droid was highly sophisticated, belonging to the older, yet remarkably astute 2-1B series. Because of his intellect, Too-Onebee was fiercely independent and morality-driven. His gentle touch can be attributed to his precise hydraulic systems, which utilized several liquids at different temperatures.
Biography
2-1B performs a necropsy on a dead tauntaun.
one of Too-Onebee's earliest assignments found him serving the Galactic Empire on the planet Firro, a world recently subjugated by the Imperials. There, he was tasked with providing medical care to the civilians of Firro who were injured by Imperial atrocities. It was Too-Onebee's thankless job to mop up after what the Empire had left of the people there. After months of treating an unending parade of wounded, the number of people coming to see Too-Onebee began to decrease as the Empire settled in for a long occupation of the planet. It was then that the talented medical droid came under notice of Lord Cuvir, the newly proclaimed Governor of Firro while on an inspection of a crowded relief station. Cuvir, seeing the droid's determined efficiency and skill, took Too-Onebee as his own personal physician, ignoring the needs of the civilian wounded. Too-Onebee was distressed at having to leave the large numbers of wounded and disapproved of his new master's overbearing ways, but was forced to serve him faithfully in accordance with his overriding programming directive—to heal living beings no matter whom they might be. Nevertheless, he longed to serve those he thought were on the "right" side Galaxy Guide 3: The Empire Strikes Back
Too-Onebee's opportunity to do the "right" thing would soon come. He accompanied Lord Cuvir on a visit to the planet Wor Tandell. While inspecting the medical facilities at the governor's mansion, he witnessed the assassination of Cuvir at the hands of one of the governor's aides. Staying true to his programming, Too-Onebee attempted to treat the mortally wounded Cuvir, despite believing him to be the most evil being he had ever encountered. The droid soon discovered the aide to be an undercover Alliance to Restore the Republic|Rebel]] agent who identified himself only as Tiree. The man was, in actuality, agent Tay Vanis. Vanis had been secretly collecting information on Imperial Navy movements in the Tandell system when he was discovered by Cuvir. Vanis was forced to kill the Governor to protect his mission. Too-Onebee believed the man, having long dreamed about the rumored Rebellion. He accompanied Vanis in his escape and joined the Rebel Alliance. The droid served with Vanis on a few missions before being assigned to his most important role for the Rebellion.<ref name="GG3"
