Arakyd Industries

Arakyd Industries,^[3] also known simply as Arakyd,^[12] 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] In creating the KX-series security droid, Arakyd worked with the Imperial military to bypass a law prohibiting battle droids. They found a loophole and marketed them as security droids.^[13] Arakyd Industries manufactured droids on Vulpter,^[14] a planet located in the galaxy's Deep Core^[15] where it also had a data storehouse.^[1]
