H-9PO was a Duorq 79-series protocol droid adopted by H'nib Statermast when the previous owner was killed outside of Farrimmer Café. Nicknamed Silverhand by Statermast, in reference to the droid's right hand being replaced by a silver-plated one from a newer model of protocol droid. The droid was programmed to assist in gambling and was assigned to wait tables. With the tips the droid received, it aspired to gamble.
