HK-47 was a Hunter-Killer assassin droid![](MyCollection_Unit_HK-series Assassin Droid.jpg) | HK-series Assassin DroidDroid | and Jedi hunter constructed by the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Revan![](MyCollection_Unit_Revan.jpg) | Revan(Human)CharacterMajor Characters | , shortly after the end of the Mandalorian Wars in 3960 BBY. In the wake of widespread destruction caused by the Mass Shadow Generator, a superweapon used during the final battle of that conflict, Revan was inspired to seek more subtle methods of defeating his enemies. HK-47 was sent throughout the galaxy on his missions and successfully assassinated countless targets whom Revan had deemed threats to galactic stability and peace. However, HK-47 was badly crippled and captured on a mission in Mandalorian![](MyCollection_Unit_Mandalorian.jpg) | MandalorianOrganizationMandalorians | space shortly before Revan himself was captured by the Jedi Order.As per protocol with Sith assassin droids prior to going on missions, HK-47's memory core was wiped of all knowledge of his original master. His memory could only be restored upon fulfilling his mission, and successfully returning to his master. As he never managed to return to his master, the automatic recall function was never activated, and he couldn't remember Revan. He went from owner to owner, many of whom he inadvertently slew personally. Eventually, he ended up on the planet Tatooine![](MyCollection_Unit_Tatooine.jpg) | TatooinePlanet | , where he was sold to and unwittingly reunited with Revan, whose memory had been erased following his capture. The droid went on to aid![](MyCollection_Unit_Revan's Followers.jpg) | Revan's FollowersOrganizationTemporary Unions | Revan after his return to the Jedi Order![](MyCollection_Unit_Jedi Order.jpg) | Jedi OrderOrganizationGalaxy-Wide Organizations | in his campaign to find and destroy the Star Forge![](MyCollection_Unit_Star Forge.jpg) | Star ForgeStarshipSpace Stations | , an ancient factory that Revan had used during his reign as the Dark Lord of the Sith. HK-47 was also instrumental in the defeat of Revan's former Sith apprentice![](MyCollection_Unit_Malak.jpg) | Malak(Human)CharacterMajor Characters | , who had since begun utilizing the Star Forge in an attempt to conquer the Galactic Republic.HK-47 accompanied Revan to the edge of the Unknown Regions along with Revan's utility droid, T3-M4, before being left behind in Revan's starship, the Ebon Hawk, as the redeemed Jedi Knight journeyed on to face a threat he had remembered from his time as the Dark Lord. Sometime later, HK-47 was damaged and was left aboard the Ebon Hawk, which eventually ended up in the hands of one of Revan's allies from the Mandalorian Wars, Meetra Surik, also known as the Jedi Exile. During this period, HK-50 assassin droids, a newer version of HK that G0-T0 had mass-produced, became active in the galaxy, working as bounty hunters![](MyCollection_Unit_Bounty Hunter.jpg) | Bounty HunterOrganizationCommunities | and saboteurs. Surik repaired HK-47, who recognized her as his new master and accompanied![](MyCollection_Unit_Meetra Surik's Followers.jpg) | Meetra Surik's FollowersOrganizationTemporary Unions | her in order to find the source of the HK-50s, whose very existence he considered an insult to himself. HK-47 also aided Surik in her search for the Jedi Masters who survived the First Jedi Purge and even advised her on techniques to more efficiently kill Jedi so that Surik could better defend herself.Read more... |
