- "It remained a cold case until the detainment of KRONOS-841, a Gotra droid captured by Imperial forces in their first year. Divo oversaw the interrogation of KRONOS-841, and in exchange for leniency, the droid offered up a data dump of pertinent memories—over a decade old—of what appeared to be Xrexus auctioning a captured Jedi Padawan named Eldra Kaitis."
- ―Exantor Divo, Scum and Villainy: Case Files on the Galaxy's Most Notorious
KRONOS-841 was a droid who bid by proxy with his cohorts at the Xrexus Cartel's auction of Jedi Padawan Eldra Kaitis[1] in 33 BBY;[2] however, they were outbid by the industrialist Jee Kra.[1] In 19 BBY, KRONOS-841 joined the recently formed Droid Gotra,[3] but was then captured by the forces of the Galactic Empire.[1]
Coruscant Security Force Inspector Tanivos Divo oversaw KRONOS-841's interrogation, where the droid offered up a data dump of memories pertinent to the Xrexus auction in exchange for leniency. Divo's grandson, Exantor Divo, later mentioned KRONOS-841 and included an image of Kaitis from his data dump in his book, Scum and Villainy: Case Files on the Galaxy's Most Notorious,[1] which was published in 34 ABY.[4]
Behind the scenes
KRONOS-841 was mentioned in the 2018 reference book Star Wars: Scum and Villainy: Case Files on the Galaxy's Most Notorious, which was written by Pablo Hidalgo.[1]

- ↑ Most Wanted establishes that the Droid Gotra formed from diseffected droids after the end of the Clone Wars, which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 19 BBY. Star Wars: Scum and Villainy: Case Files on the Galaxy's Most Notorious states KRONOS-841 was a member of the Droid Gotra when captured in 7958 C.R.C.. As Scum and Villainy dates the assassination attempt on Padmé Amidala on Coruscant to 7955 C.R.C. and Timelines that event to 22 BBY, 7958 C.R.C. equates to 19 BBY, meaning that both the Droid Gotra's formation and KRONOS-841 joining the group must have taken place in that year.
- ↑ The latest entries chronologically in Star Wars: Scum and Villainy: Case Files on the Galaxy's Most Notorious are dated to 8011 (C.R.C. date) and gives 7980 (C.R.C. date) as the year that the carbon-freezing of Han Solo, which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 3 ABY. Therefore, 8011 C.R.C. must have been around 34 ABY. Scum and Villainy also mentions Hosnian Prime as still being capital of the New Republic, meaning the in-universe Scum and Villainy: Case Files on the Galaxy's Most Notorious must have been published prior to the destruction of the planet, which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 34 ABY. As the publishing must have occurred between the time of the latest entries and the destruction of Hosnian Prime, it therefore also took place around 34 ABY.
