Meet the New Droid Sidekick
JX394ND-5777, better known as ND-5.
Originally a BX-series droid commando, ND-5 was manufactured by the Confederacy of Independent Systems to fight in the Clone Wars.
Built in 22 BBY, he saw combat on multiple battlefields, earning his place as a hardened veteran through operations like Project Deadfall.
Following the Clone Wars, ND-5 was stored away until he came under the control of Sliro Barsha, who deployed him on missions with extreme loyalty and precision.
ND-5’s combat history has left him with notable wear and tear, including a visible scar across his chest. Standing at 1.91 meters with gray plating and wearing a green trench coat to conceal further damage, ND-5 brings a battle-worn, gritty appearance to Star Wars: Outlaws.
His experience as a skilled soldier, paired with a powerful build, makes him a strong partner to Kay Vess, equipped for the high-stakes underworld they navigate together.
ND-5’s Performance in Star Wars: Outlaws
In Star Wars: Outlaws, ND-5 doesn’t just follow orders; he quickly proves himself as an indispensable ally to Kay Vess.
Their first encounter sets the stage for ND-5’s loyalty and effectiveness. When Kay is betrayed by Waka, a supposed ally, she finds herself in a deadly trap. Just as Vail arrives to finish the job, ND-5 steps in without hesitation, rescuing Kay from certain capture.
This fearless intervention not only saves her life but solidifies him as the sidekick she can rely on.
Later, we learn that Kay’s employer, Jaylen Wrax, has assigned ND-5 to accompany her on missions.
With Jaylen’s authorization, ND-5 is fully committed to supporting Kay in any situation, providing both combat backup and tactical assistance.
As they navigate dangerous assignments, ND-5’s combat skills and quick responses prove essential in keeping Kay one step ahead of her enemies.
Fans Really Love The New Droid In Star Wars Outlaws
If you thought the small alien sidekick was the fan-favorite, think again—ND-5, the BX-Series Droid Commando, is stealing the spotlight.
Fans are drawn to ND-5’s massive, protective shoulders, cannon-like arms, and that ironclad six-pack showing off his combat-ready build.
His mysterious yet calming voice only adds to the appeal, making him one of the most talked-about characters from the game.
Twitter is full of posts celebrating ND-5, with comments like Etheox’s “Why’s ND-5 sound so hot” or, Carli Velocci “ND-5? More like Nice Daddy, uh, five”
