The Krath war droid was an ancient type of droid. When creating the ED-V8-series envoy droid, the Rseikharhl Droid Group built it around the chassis of a Krath war droid.[1] It shared its name with the Krath, an ancient group from the Deep Core.[2] The IG-series 100 MagnaGuard that was produced by Holowan Laboratories for the Supreme Martial Commander of the Separatist Droid Armies, General Grievous, took inspiration from the Krath war droid.[3]
