Legend

this BFL-series labor droid greeted Han Solo and Droma, after they landed on Ruan in search of Droma's family. Han believed that the droid was Bollux, but Baffle claimed no knowledge of the Corporate Sector or Doc Vandangante. Programmed for serving as a driver, Baffle could operate virtually any repulsor-equipped vehicle. In reality, Baffle had been working with black-market programming to overthrown the Salliche Ag Corporation, which had been scrapping droids in favor of organic laborers in an effort to develop products which were better suited to the Yuuzhan Vong ecology. With the help of Han and Droma, Baffle was able to override the control signals which were keeping the droids immobile. The droids rose up against their Salliche Ag oppressors and managed to unseat them. Baffle later helped Han and Droma escape Ruan by hiding them in an automated scout collector, which the droid piloted to the spaceport. It was later revealed that the droids on Ruan had a full mythology based around "the long-awaited one, only flesh and blood who would be able to help them." C-3PO discerned that Han Solo had become this being.
