6D6-RA-8 was anRA-7 protocol droid that lived during thereign of theGalactic Empire.^[1] Between around8 BBY and2 BBY,^[2] 6D6-RA-8 was present on the Imperialcapital ofCoruscant whenHan Solo,Chewbacca, andPhaedra traveled to Coruscant to undertake aheist and retrieve anurn that had been taken from theMillennium Falcon when it had been impounded by the Empire and given toGrand MoffWilhuff Tarkin, whichhe them stored inside hisoffice. In need of a way to get Tarkin to leave his office, Phaedra saw 6D6-RA-8 and came up with an idea of climbing into thedroid and impersonating it. Phaedra then made her way to Tarkin's office, where she encounteredTarkin's guard ofdeath troopers, who she informed that she had an urgent communiqué fromEmperorPalpatine for Tarkin. The grand moff arrived and expressed his suspicions as Palpatine did not convey messages through a droid. Phaedra then insisted that they were chosen as it was a matter of delicacy, and when Tarkin enquired as to what the matter was, she asked to speak with him in private. The grand moff responded that thetroopers could be trusted. Phaedra still insisted on speaking in private, Tarkin told her that his time was valuable and to either speak or get out, but to do it quickly. In response, Phaedra leaned over to Tarkin and whispered to him about the Emperor's apparent request for his presence in hischambers as he believed thatMas Amedda conspired tokill him.^[1]

Tarkin doubted the claim, and Phaedra responded that given the sensitivity of the information, the moff could surely see why the Emperor had decided to send the request through a droid. Tarkin conceded the point and left with several of his troopers to speak with Palpatine. With Tarkin out of the office, Phaedra informed one of the remaining troopers that she needed to visit therestroom, even though droids didn't use it. She then added that she had two friends, Solo and Chewbacca, who would be entering the office through one. At this moment, Solo and Chewbacca arrived and killed the troopers. Solo then pointed hisblaster at Phaedra, unaware that she had disguised herself as the droid, but she told him not to shoot, and take off the droids head, revealing to Solo that it was her.^[1]
