When the Sith ship was investigated, cloaked Sith assassins boarded the Harbinger and seized it. The Ebon Hawk had been pursued by and fired upon by a Sith capital ship. While the Sith forces arrived to collect Surik, the plans of the HK-50 were foiled when Kreia, flying in the Ebon Hawk, was brought on board the Harbinger and rescued Surik. The HK-50 then locked the unconcious Surik in the ship's more armored cargo hold and began to sabotage the Harbinger, creating a cascade of failures that affected the communications, engines, and weapons, effectively disabling the ship. The HK-50 had programmed a kolto tank to inject Surik with a dose of juma juice sedatives that would be lethal to a non-Jedi, but which would only render her unconscious. The assassin droid forged orders that Surik report to the medical bay for automated and mandatory injections.



The HK-50 was present when Surik was taken aboard as a passenger. One HK-50 managed to infiltrate the Republic capital ship: Harbinger, when he managed to sabotage the ship's protocol droid, made it step on a frag mine, then stepped in as it's replacement. Negotiations where HK-50s were used to translate often did not conclude well, as their cruel and violent desires influenced their interpretations of the various spoken languages.Ī hologram of an HK-50 unit on board the Harbinger.Īfter G0-T0 reactivated the HK-50s, he sent them out among the galaxy to hunt down Meetra Surik, who was believed to be the last of the Jedi. HK-50 assassin droids were often able to successfully pose as protocol droids and they infiltrated much of the Galactic Republic fleet in doing so. Sometime after Revan's disappearance, production continued again under the planning droid turned crime lord G0-T0, who discovered the HK-50 manufacturing facility hidden on Telos IV and reactivated it, disseminating the newly created HK-50 droids throughout the galaxy searching for the Jedi. The plan was hauled and production ceased after the Dark Lord was captured by the Jedi Council. Further modifying and improving the designs of his first HK model, HK-47, the HK-50s were to be used as saboteurs aboard Republic warships.

The HK-50 droids were first designed and manufactured in secret by the Jedi turned Sith Revan for his war against the Republic. and, of course, they refer to meatbags as 'organics'.
