"You're already dead, just lie down!"
-HK-51

HK-51 was a high end assassin droid created by the Czerka Arms Corporation during the times of the Old Republic. As the HK-line of droids was banned during the time, only a few were secretly built, though they were lost around 3668 BBY, when the ship carrying the few platforms crashed on the classified planet Belsavis. Though most of the units didn't "survive" the crash, some were succesfully scavanged from the wreckage and repaired.




The droids were known for both their brutal efficiency, their "excellent diplomatic skills" and a strong faith in the Maker, a diety revered by droids.
