Nikki Idd was a female Human who, during her youth, was employed by her father, droid designer Lonn Idd, on his droid repair space station. Sometime between 19 and 15 BBY, after recovering a collection of damaged droids from the planet Dodz, Idd and her brother, Vik, briefly became the owners of the protocol droid C-3PO and the astromech droid R2-D2. Upon their return to the station, Idd discovered that Tig Fromm, an Annoo-dat Blue gangster, was holding her father hostage, compelling Lonn to install a powerful laser on his starship in exchange for Idd's well-being. Vik and the two droids initially attempted a rescue, but were stopped by a Fromm Gang hover guard. Subsequently, C-3PO, disguised as an ancient guardian droid, launched an attack on the gangsters. Idd assisted the protocol droid's efforts by spraying perfume on Fromm's face, and Vik managed to trap the overwhelmed gangsters in a packing net. Following this, the Idd siblings transported C-3PO and R2-D2 to the closest Intergalactic Droid Agency outpost.
During the era of the Galactic Empire, Nikki Idd, a female Human, lived her life. She was the daughter of the well-known droid designer Lonn Idd, and both Nikki and her brother, Vik, were employed by their father, working from his droid repair space station between 19 and 15 BBY. When the two young siblings were sent via an Intergalactic Droid Agency shuttle to the planet Dodz to gather various droids in need of repair, Idd's brother had to step in to break up a fight among several of the droids during the return journey. This altercation resulted in the protocol droid C-3PO being thrown into his malfunctioning counterpart, the astromech droid R2-D2, who then began to overload. Idd quickly inserted an energy shield into the astromech, which stopped the overload but also limited the droid to its most basic functions. C-3PO expressed his sadness that he and his counterpart were without masters, and he gladly accepted Vik's offer for the Idd siblings to serve as their masters until Lonn could repair R2-D2.
Upon their arrival at the space station, Idd was surprised by the lack of the usual welcome from their father. She hurried through the station's corridors while Vik assigned the droids to various repair stations. Locating her father, she found him tied up and being interrogated by the Annoo-dat Blue gangster Tig Fromm, who was demanding that Lonn install a powerful laser on the gangster's starship. Rushing to her father's aid, Idd was grabbed by Fromm's bodyguard, Vlix Oncard, but she escaped by kicking Oncard in the shin and managed to secretly activate a computer monitor's camera. Consequently, Vik and C-3PO, still in the hangar, were able to witness Lonn agreeing to Fromm's demands in exchange for his daughter's safety. Idd was locked in a supply shed, which Vik soon entered while R2-D2 and C-3PO distracted the Fromm Gang's guards. However, their escape was blocked by a robotic hover guard that blasted R2-D2 and allowed the guards to capture Vik and Nikki.
The siblings were held captive while their father completed his work. Upon completion, Fromm informed him that the space station would be the laser's first target. However, the gangster was interrupted by the sudden arrival of an ancient guardian droid. Hoping to sell it on the black market, Fromm demanded that Idd hand over its control disk, but she instead produced a disc-shaped vial of Nova Starlight perfume and sprayed it in his face. The guardian droid then advanced on the gangsters, fighting off attacking hover guards with its powerful punches. Cornered, the gangsters were trapped in a packing net dropped by Vik. Their savior was revealed to be C-3PO, wearing the empty shell of a guardian droid he had found aboard the station, and Lonn gratefully repaired the damaged R2-D2. Once the astromech was fixed, the children returned both droids to the Intergalactic Droid Agency to allow them to find new masters.
At the time of her encounter with Tig Fromm, Nikki Idd was a young girl characterized by her blonde hair, black [pupils](/article/eye-legends], light skin, a sense of humor, and a fondness for perfume. She was a quick thinker who readily took action in emergencies, which enabled her to calm down a malfunctioning R2-D2 and helped thwart the Fromm Gang. However, her impulsive rush into danger initially led to her capture by the gangsters. Affectionate towards her father, Idd worked for him at his droid repair station and was capable of piloting his shuttle alongside her brother. She also possessed some knowledge of droid repair.
Nikki Idd's single appearance in Star Wars canon is in The Ultimate Weapon, the second issue of Marvel Comics' Star Wars: Droids comic series. This issue, written by David Manak, penciled by John Romita Sr., and colored by George Roussos, was released in June 1986. Idd was later indirectly referenced in her father's entry in 2008's The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia and mentioned in a 2013 article on the official StarWars.com blog.
