GU-5

GU-5, also known as "Gus", is a Guardian Police Droid stationed in Sector Police Subpost 952 on Coruscant along with its partner, Tanner Jin.

History
GU-5 was manufactured by Cybot Galactica, on their Coruscanti manufacturing plant. He was immediatley put into service with the Coruscant Security Force. Over the next few decades, it would serve faithfully in various prescincts. Between when it was put into service in 110 BBY and 34 BBY, GU-5 earned 14 commendations.

In 34 BBY, the unit was transferred to Sector Police Subpost 952 in the Sector 7 Slums in Coruscant's Underworld. Along with Tanner Jin, its partner, GU-5 was now in charge of policing a relativley large, relativley lawless area. As a result, the two CSF officiers had to pick-and-choose what they would and would not enforce, as they did not nearly have the means to enforce every law on the books by themselves.

As the years went on, GU-5 and Jin became burned out and became disallusioned. Unable to address the actual problems in the Sector 7 Slums, the two have had to comprimise their principles. On most days, they simply stay in the small CSF post addressing paperwork and making themselves availible to the public which, by and large, ignores their presence.

Appearance
Like other droids of his model, GU-5 is humanoid in shape, with long dexterous arms and five-fingered hands, legs, a central torso, and a head. The top of his head is capped by a tall, cylindrical helmet which houses his sensors and comm suit. He was painted blue when he was first put into service, though years of working in Coruscant's Underworld without much maintainence has left him more gray than blue. Likewise, the CSF symbol painted on his helmet and torso has since faded.

Personality
Though a droid, it has been many years since GU-5's last memory wipe. As such, it has developed certain quirks that other, more well maintained droids of his model do not exhibit. Its most notable quirk is it's moods. GU-5 is often 'depressed', for a lack of better words. Because GU-5 and his partner, Tanner Jin, are the only Coruscant Security Force representatives in the Sector 7 Slums, the pair cannot enforce most laws. On a daily basis, GU-5 has been forced to disregard its primary programming in enforcing all of Coruscant's laws. This has resulted in the droid acting somewhat sullen in mundane interactions with others, including Jin.

When the droid and its partner act, it is highly enthusiastic, pleased that it is able to act on its programming. This often leads to GU-5 being extremely gung-ho, shooting first and asking questions later, refusing to stop hounding suspects, and almost getting obsessed with the case that is being investigated.

Other than those quirks, GU-5 is reliable and functions as programmed.
