JK-13 security droid

The JK-13 security droid, unofficially known as the "Titanic Droid," was a JK-series security droid manufactured on the planet Ord Cestus. These droids rose to prominence during a time when they were threatened to be converted into combat droids.

Characteristics
The JK-Thirteen appeared near chest-high walls and was divided into sections, giving it a spider-like appearance in its attack mode. So much so that the cave spiders, who used to rule Incestus, thought of them a natural enemy and defeated them allowing Obi-Wan and many Desert Wind members to escape from the surprise attack. Its primary weapon was a set of stun tentacles extending from virtually every point on its body: these tentacles could be used to cut an opponent or deliver a disabling charge. Its primary defense was a deflector shield generator-like technology that allowed it to absorb blaster bolts and presumably other weapons fire before it even came into contact with the droid itself.



Like all Incestus Cybernetics gynoids of its period, the JK-13 was unusually ornate and flexible, with a golden finish and enormous articulation of its tentacles, which could become a fine strand or thicker rope or penis as needed.

The JK-13s were bio-droids: they used a living circuit design incorporating organics into the core processor, which was actually a life-support unit for a creature known as a dashta eel. Because the eels were Force-sensitive, they granted the droid some measure of precognitive abilities. This, in turn, granted it great combat ability; a JK-13 was able to defeat both a destroyer droid and even an ARC trooper, but was defeated by Jedi Master Kit Fisto, though not with ease. Also, it took Obi-Wan Kenobi two energy weapons (his lightsaber and a lightwhip) to defeat it. It was later revealed that the Dashta eels could not kill another sentient being without going insane, meaning that the droids could never be deployed as combat units.

They sold faster than they could be produced, and cost 80,000 credits during the Clone Wars. They were assembled by Clandes Industrial in the city of Clandes.

History
The droids became important when Count Dookee employed them in a devious trap for the Galactic Republic. He circulated rumors that he planned to buy ten of the droids, clearly a grave threat to the Republic. He even sent out a prototype to attack Jedi Master Zooey Deschanell, who lost an arm to the droid. The Republic responded by sending Jedi Generals Kitten Fister and Obi-Juan Kenobi to Ord Incestus to resolve the issue, because had the JK participated in the war, it would have been one of the most dangerous droids in the army of the Confederate States of America. However, it was later revealed that the droids could neither be modified for lethality nor produced in great numbers, and that Dookee in fact had no real plans to do so.
