K-7R1[5] 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[4] in 34 ABY,[6] the parts of K-7R1 were kept on display in the Droid Depot, a store located in Black Spire Outpost on Batuu.[4]
The security droid's headless torso was kept in a cage next to the 2-1B-series medical droid[4] 2P-1[5] near the depot's counter, while its head sat separately on the floor of the cage.[4] 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]

Notes and references[edit | edit source]
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 Star Wars: Rogue One: The Ultimate Visual Guide states that all KX-series security droid are manufactured by Arakyd Industries and stand 2.16 meters tall. As Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge depicts K-7R1 as a KX-series security droid these characteristics must also apply to it.
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.5 2.6 Star Wars Galaxy's Edge: Traveler's Guide to Batuu
- ↑ Star Wars: The Visual Encyclopedia states that all security droids are first class droids. As K-7R1 is depicted as a security droid in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, it must also be a fourth class droid.

Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge – Droid Depot
- ↑ 5.0 5.1 Droid Depot has official backstory elements that, while not directly published for the public, are officially canon details that can be obtained verbally from cast members working in the store.
- ↑ The Star Wars Book dates the Battle of Batuu, which is depicted in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge via the attraction Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, to 34 years after Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates the events of A New Hope to 0 BBY, therefore the events of Galaxy's Edge, including K-R71's appearance, must take place in 34 ABY.
