The TC-series protocol droid was a model of protocol droid manufactured by Cybot Galactica. It had the same overall appearance and size as the popular 3PO-series, but presented a few differences. Notably, the manufacturer advertised TC units as being cooler and more unflappable than their 3PO cousins.^[1]

One TC unit designated TC-14 served the Trade Federation onboard the Lucrehulk-class LH-3210 cargo freighter Saak'ak during the Invasion of Naboo.^[4] Another TC unit was TC-4, who had a connection to the Sith.^[5] TC-70 served the Hutt crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure as a translator during the Clone Wars.^[6] A TC unit designated TC-326^[7] served in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars and was made Archduke Poggle the Lesser's translator following his capture by Republic forces during the Second Battle of Geonosis.^[8]
