EG-57 was a green-plated GNK-series power droid manufactured by Industrial Automaton^[1] that in 10 BBY^[2] witnessed a slave and droid uprising^[1] in one of the Pyke Syndicate's spice mines on the planet Kessel.^[3] During the event it stored an internal data record consisting of an image of the mine's control room, showing the freed droids^[1] P6B-LT2, P1-SZE, C00-L05C, P4T-GM, S1D6-SA-5,^[4] and DV-4D4.^[5]

By 34 ABY,^[6] EG-57 had come to serve in the Resistance,^[1] and was part of its forces stationed on the planet Batuu during the world's occupation by the First Order. EG-57 worked in Resistance Supply in Black Spire Outpost,^[7] where it stood storing power for the Resistance next to a long-range antenna with fellow power droid EG-58.^[1]
