K-7R1

K-7R1^[4] was a KX-series security droid^[2] manufactured by Arakyd Industries. Standing 2.16 meters tall,^[1] it had white sensors and black plating marked with white patterning.^[2] During the First Order's occupation of the planet Batuu^[3] in 34 ABY,^[5] the parts of K-7R1 were kept on display in the Droid Depot, a store located in Black Spire Outpost on Batuu.^[3]

The security droid's headless torso was kept in a cage next to the 2-1B-series medical droid^[3] 2P-1^[4] near the depot's counter, while its head sat separately on the floor of the cage.^[3] The author Eloc Throno included an image of a complete K-7R1 in the Droid Buyer's Guide section of his book, Traveler's Guide to Batuu.^[2]
