Plot summary[]
When the Rebel Alliance captures a damaged new model of Imperial warbot on Xeron they decide to ask for assistance from the droid populated space station known as Kligson's Moon in repairing the droid so the Alliance technicians can study it.
Kligson agrees to repair the droid, but R2-D2 and C-3PO must accompany the warbot to observe the operation since Kligson intends to keep the droid after it's repaired. However, another droid on Kligson's moon has other ideas as the former Imperial droid Zee-Exthree plans to use parts of the warbot to repair his own war droid and lead a revolt against Kligson.
However Kligson had anticipated this and sent a decoy to lure Zee-Exthree and his followers out into the open when he would launch his own warbot against them. With the battle over, R2-D2 and C-3PO record the schematics of the warbot and return to the Rebels, while Kligson moves his station from its current orbit to a more secret location where the Empire cannot find it.

- ↑ The New Essential Chronology places the events of the Star Wars (1977) issues 52, 61, and 69 in 3 ABY–3.5 ABY. The issues 39–44, which adapt Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back are also set in 3 ABY. Thus all events between can be placed in 3 ABY. Since The Further Adventures: Droid World adapts issue 47 it must also take place in 3 ABY.
