Legend

a huge, starship-sized droid designed for pursuit and capture of selected targets, the H-K was built by Arakyd for use by the Empire. The H-K was a highly intelligent pursuit and detainment vessel equipped with powerful sensors and hull scanners, and could be used as a deep-space sweeper of a system patrol craft. The ships measured some 150 meters in height, and were equipped with four heavy grasping arms and four fine work arms, all of which were larger than most starfighters. The Hunter-Killer Probots were armed with a single tractor beam projector, two quad blaster cannons, and two ion cannons. Shug Ninx and Salla Zend managed to gain control of one of these huge ships, and used its weapons to blast open the prison compound where Han Solo and Chewbacca were being held on Byss, some four years after the Battle of Endor.
