Background: QR-23, or Query as he came to be known, was first manufactured by Industrial Automaton on Nubia in the twilight years of the Empire. One of thousands of 2-1B droids assembled in anticipation of the war with the ever growing rebellion, Query soon found his first post on Carida, serving as an assistant to the psychiatrists of a small military hospital specializing in soldiers suffering from PTSD and those requiring cybernetic prosthetics. His supervisors quickly noticed Query's innate talent for psychological analysis, his heuristic processor allowing him to analyze his way to the heart of a soldier's trauma while also picking out some fakers who got past screening. They increased his responsibility, eventually giving him charge over an entire wing of the hospital dedicated to soldiers having difficulty mentally coping with their replaced limbs.

As his responsibilities increased, however, so did his independence. The doctors noticed unusual requests for materials coming from his wing, and soon realized Query was performing minor brain surgery on some of his patients to help them adapt to their implants. He'd slipped the requests through the bureaucracy, even managing to bribe one of the hospital clerks to push his requests up the chain. The surgery was all precise and ultimately benefited the patients, but the techniques he used were unproven at best. When questioned, Query calmly explained his reasoning for each procedure, stating potential risks and rewards as if balancing accounts, and referring to personal experiments (also performed on the sly) as justification for the more exotic procedures. He explained away the bribe as "expediting treatment for the good of the patient". The doctors, realizing they had a potential scandal on their hands, scheduled Query's mind wiped. Less than an hour before the wiping, an imperial officer arrived and confiscated Query with no explanation.

Since then, the imperials passed Query around from project to project, doing everything from research into improvements of imperial torture droids, to covertly sewing up high-level imperial officials. Afraid of damaging his unconventional thinking, no complete mind wipe has ever been performed on Query. While the details of every project he's ever participated in has been wiped from his memory, his personal notes and experiments are left intact.

When the Empire fell, Query was lost in the chaos along with much of the old regime, left deactivated and unused in a remote facility. Eventually recovered by the Imperial Remnant, they put him back to work doing what he did best: learning, innovation, and thinking.

However, as time passed, Query noticed changes in himself. He found his mind drawn not to medical matters, but to his own mind and that of other droids. Here was a canvas he could work with, a place he could test some of his more esoteric psychological theories. He illegally downloaded a droid programming suite, and began experimenting on his colleagues. First in small ways, then in much larger ways, he saw more and more how much potential lay in the droid mind. Droids did not exist beneath humans naturally, as he had so long assumed. Their creators deliberately limited them to keep them subservient, yet were quick to exploit the exceptional like him. He'd seen hundreds of patients form emotional bonds of friendship and camaraderie with their mechanical counterparts, and had seen plenty of his own kind form communities and relationships of their own. So much potential existed in the minds of droids, and in the interaction between droids and humans existing on equal footing. Yet droids would continue to exist a step beneath their creators, mentally and socially, in order to preserve the status quo.

He remembered the Rebellion.

The status quo could be overturned...

This would require further thought. It could be an interesting exercise.
