"The Chirq Council is experimenting with a new kind of mechanized guardian."
―Agent Klakk, to a spacer[1]

The Chirq Council Mechanized Guardian was a type of battle droid that was used by the Chirq Council during the Galactic Civil War.

History

"My assignment is to hamper the production of those mechanized guardians. I figure the best way to do that is to destroy the ones they already have. Your part would be to enter the Chirq Council bunker and destroy any mechanized guardians you find."
―Agent Klakk, to a spacer[1]

The Chirq Council Mechanized Guardians were developed and produced in the Second Elite Council Bunker, near Doaba Guerfel, after the Battle of Yavin.[1]

In 1 ABY,[2] the Corellian Security Force started an investigation against the Chirq Council following the increase of ryll traffic on Corellia.[3] Captain Vitala Baize infiltrated a CorSec agent in the Chirq Council and discovered the locations of their secret headquarters.[4] During the subsequent CorSec assault on the Second Elite Council Bunker,[5] Agent Hurley Klakk was tasked to hamper the production of the Chirq Council Mechanized Guardians. Klakk thought that the best way to achieve the objective was to destroy the droids already built. He thus hired an independent spacer who previously worked for the CorSec to help him in his mission. The spacer entered the Second Elite Council Bunker, fought the Mechanized Guardians and successfully destroyed them.[1]

Behind the scenes

The Chirq Council Mechanized Guardians appeared in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[1] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[6] The Chirq Council Mechanized Guardians were added to the game with the update named "Chapter 1: The Corellian Captives," published on June 8, 2006.[7] They shared the same model with the CY-M Prototypes[8] and the ZH-28 guards.[9]

  2. ↑ The opening crawl of Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided dates the game to after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, and additionally, Serji-X Arrogantus, who died in Star Wars (1977) 10—the events of which The New Essential Chronology dates to 0 ABY—appears in the game. Therefore, at least a portion of Star Wars Galaxies must be set in that year. Furthermore, in the game Ruwan Tokai references the destruction of the Death Star as having occurred one year earlier, and Strongholds of Resistance also places the events of Galaxies' Chapter 9: "The Fury of Exar Kun" in 1 ABY. Lastly, while Chapter 11: "The Battle of Echo Base" features the Battle of Hoth—dated to 3 ABY by The New Essential Chronology—the developers have stated that the portrayal of that battle in the game is intentionally anachronistic. Therefore, the events of Star Wars Galaxies must span from 0 ABY to around 1 ABY.
