G0-T0 was a floating stealth-oriented expert droid whose primary function was to infiltrate, search, and destroy. His business originating from Exchange boss has helped establish his notoriety throughout the sector 5wn
G0-T0 is a character in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. He is voiced by Daran Norris.
The name “G0-T0” and the droid’s alter ego of “Goto” are presumably a reference to the infamous GOTO programming command, which, if misused, can unpredictably alter a program’s behavior. This led some fans to speculate that G0-T0’s dark side alignment within the game is a reference to the “GOTO is evil” belief expressed by proponents of structured programming.
G0-T0’s appearance in the game was noticeably similar to the IT-0 droid from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope but with the red bulb on the lower half. In The New Essential Guide to Droids, G0-T0 is depicted upside-down, bringing the droid’s look even closer to IT-0.

Eventually building a jet-black orb of a body, G0-T0 began to set up as a smuggling ring on the planet of Nar Shaddaa. Since few would believe a droid could run an elaborate smuggling operation, G0-T0 used a hologram emitter to create the identity of “Goto.” Instead of being the smuggling operator itself, G0-T0 would simply be Goto’s liaison. G0-T0 set up the hologram by studying the mannerisms of famous holovid actors. Taken together, the illusion was so effective that few, if any, knew of Goto’s true existence.
G0-T0’s actions, while illegal, did aid Jedi or Sith to aid him in preserving the Republic.
the Ebon Hawk, but as Goto’s “gift”—not Goto himself. He requested the Exile’s aid in stabilizing the planets Telos, Dantooine, and Onderon. G0-T0 found himself increasingly annoyed by another spheroid droid aboard the Hawk: Bao-Dur’s tiny remote droid.
This annoyance came to a head on the planet of Malachor V. G0-T0 guessed that Mass Shadow Generator, the Exile escaped with her companions on the Ebon Hawk while Malachor V was obliterated.
