Following three earlier prototypes, the Q4 was the most sophisticated Q series droid to undergo performance testing at the I.A. research and development facility on Telti. Although its early test results were exemplary, the astromech's projected production costs led it to be shelved in favor of a scaled back model.

The specialized Q7 series astromechs were similarly phased out and production ceased on the fledgling line. To help recoup from the loss the droid manufacturer began liquidating its remaining stock of Q series droids; even the memory wiped prototype models. QB-4, along with many of its Q series lot-mates, were sold at a discount to the Offworld Mining Company, who were in the process of forming their own dedicated ore-hauling fleet. QB-4 served Captain Catlo, a Duros, for more than a decade aboard the <em>Mother Lode III</em>. Unexpected fluctuations in the galactic ore market eventually conspired to render the fleet more expensive to operate than subcontracting to independent cargo-transport companies. Consequently the fleet, along with its other properties, were sold off.</p><p></p><p>QB-4 was subsequently sold at auction to an independent freighter captain named Sekkor. Sekkor, a Quarren, owned and operated the <em>Free Lance</em>; a Mobquet Medium Cargo Hauler which he used to transport nergon 14. Being a volatile and extremely valuable substance, nergon 14 was carefully monitored by Imperial authorities when loaded and unloaded from freighters to ensure every gram was accounted for. Sekkor sought a means by which he could glean some of the precious material for his own needs. So along with its usual shipboard duties "Cube", as Sekkor had taken to calling his newest acquisition, was tasked with the breaching of the cargo containers' security seals and the falsifying of shipboard transport logs.

These compartments were intended to hold small quantities of refined Nergon 14 which Cube would then transport covertly past customs and security personnel for delivery to Sekkor's clients. Cube was away on just such a delivery when the <em>Free Lance</em> was seized by Imperial stormtroopers and Sekkor arrested on charges of smuggling a controlled substance.</p><p></p><p>The lone astromech learnt of the raid while routinely monitoring official communication channels.

Fearing that imperial forces may be searching the spaceport for Sekkor's missing crew, the trio sought refuge with Sekkor's alliance contact and prospective Nergon 14 buyer; a human doctor named Darryn Legarna.
