Arakyd Industries,[3] also known simply as Arakyd,[11] was an arms[2] and droid manufacturer that notably produced dwarf probe droids,[3] ID9 seeker droids,[6] internal systems probe droids,[7] Viper probe droids, and Viper recon droids.[6] It also produced RA-7 protocol droids specially for the Galactic Empire[8] and created KX-series security droids to provide Imperial facilities with more efficient security,[1] as well as ST2 concussion missiles and tubes for starships.[2] Arakyd Industries manufactured droids on Vulpter,[12] a planet located in the galaxy's Deep Core[13] where it also had a data storehouse.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
Arakyd Industries was first mentioned in the new Star Wars canon in a post made on the official Facebook page for the Star Wars Rebels animated series that provided information on the dwarf probe droid.[3] It was originally created for the 1987 Star Wars Legends reference book The Star Wars Sourcebook by Bill Slavicsek and Curtis Smith.[14]
