K-7R1[4] was a KX-series security droid[2] manufactured by Arakyd Industries. Standing 2.16 meters tall,[1] it had white sensors and black plating marked with white patterning.[2] The security droid hoped to be reactivated, but was dismantled by Mubo,[5] owner of the Droid Depot in Black Spire Outpost on the planet Batuu,[3] who displayed the parts of K-7R1 in the store.[5]
During the First Order's occupation of Batuu[3] in 34 ABY,[6] the droid's headless torso was kept in a cage next to the 2-1B surgical droid[3] 2P-1[4] near the depot's counter, while its head sat separately on the floor of the cage.[3] The author Eloc Throno included an image of a complete K-7R1 in the Droid Buyer's Guide section of his book, Traveler's Guide to Batuu,[2] in 34 ABY.[7]
Behind the scenes
K-7R1 appeared as a prop within the themed land Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge,[3] which opened to guests at Disneyland Park and Disney's Hollywood Studios in 2019.[8]

- ↑ Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge to 34 ABY.
- ↑ Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge: Traveler's Guide to Batuu establishes that at the time of the book's setting the Resistance was based on Batuu. Star Wars: Timelines dates both the establishment of the Batuu Resistance base and its eventual relocation to Ajan Kloss to 34 ABY. Therefore, the in-universe guide must have been authored that year.
