HK-24
The HK-24 series of assassin droids were first mass produced by the Czerka Corporation over three hundred years before the Treaty of Coruscant. As the threat of a full-scale Mandalorian invasion loomed, Czerka advertised the HK-24 units to the Republic's various planetary governments as a means of defense against the ruthless Neo-Crusaders. Czerka greatly overestimated the demand, however, and the resulting financial losses forced them to shut down production.
To recoup a portion of their investment, Czerka sold the entire run of HK-24 droids to Arkoh Adasca, the CEO of bioengineering firm Adascorp. Adasca used the droids as personal guards, bounty hunters, and assassins in the course of various schemes, including kidnapping an ex-Adascorp employee and attempting to sell giant beasts known as exogorths as weapons.
Adasca's plans were ultimately thwarted, and most of the HK-24 units were destroyed along with their master. The few droids that survived had been confiscated and scrapped by Republic law enforcement agencies before Adasca's death. Rumors abound that one of the droids--who had been apprehended for harassing civilians on Nouane--was locked away and forgotten on the prison world of Belsavis, though these reports have never been confirmed.
