Expanded Dossier
⬢ CURATED RECORDOrd Cestus is a desert Ordnance/Regional Depot that went into the droid business: bio-droids, JK-13 'Jedi Killers,' and a local caste system that did not survive contact with Republic purchasing.
The Cestus Deception (Legends) sends Obi-Wan Kenobi and Kit Fisto to stop those droids from hitting the open market. The catalog's 'illegal droid manufacturing' line is that novel. Searches for JK-13 land here.
