HK-24 Series Assassin Droid

Designed to disguise themselves as protocol droids to lull targets into a false sense of security, HK-Series assassin droids represent one of the deadliest innovations in droid technology of this time. The Czerka Corporation’s first major success in assassin-droid production came with the re lease of the HK-24 assassin droid, which the company hoped to sell in large quantities to the Republic and planetary governments during the run-up to the Mandalorian Wars. Many HK-24 assassin droids are purchased by Lord Adasca to hunt down one of his former employees hiding on Taris. Even with red armor plating and glowing orange eyes, the HK-24 appears, to the untrained eye, to be nothing more than a slightly sinister-looking servant droid. Unfortunately, the Czerka Corporation never finds success with the HK-24 (since most people in the galaxy have no use for an assassin droid), and soon their factories are shut down and abandoned.

     HK-24 assassin droids cannot be played as droid heroes.
