It would appear that it was originally constructed and activated in the Arakyd Industries manufacturing plant on Mechis III. It, along with its DRK-1 series lot-mates, were sold on consignment to the Intergalactic Banking Clan to help increase the security measures of its most sensitive financial institutions following a subversive infiltration of a Bothan spy ring into their main headquarters on Muunilist. After nearly a decade and a half later of dutiful service, when the Installation's security systems were entirely redesigned, DRK-1X was pulled from service, memory wiped and sold in a private auction.Its buyer, a mildly paranoid neimoidian chancellor of the Trade Federation named Dofina Jurnol, was seeking a trustworthy bodyguard, personal assistant and discreet spy to keep an eye on her rivals within the Federation. With the money she saved on the second-hand unit, she had the little probe droid augmented to help it perform its new responsibilities. A heuristic processor was added to enable it to improvise when operating alone, retractable manipulator arms with which to serve its new mistress, a vocabulator to aid Dofina (who didn't understand binary) as well as computer interface and electroshock probes to aid it in its covert information gathering forays. Over the next few years, DRK-1X successfully thwarted two assassination attempts on Dofina's life, discovered covert espionage equipment in her personal residence and even provided its mistress with the means to lucratively blackmail her ex-lover. All the while Dofina was loathe to have her able servant memory wiped for fear of entrusting the unit to a technician who may uncover her personal secrets embedded in its data-banks.On occasion, Dofina would forget or ignore the droid for days or even weeks at a time while she concentrated on her investment portfolio. This led to DRK-1X developing a streak of curiosity, self-sufficiency and even an interest in subjects outside of its regular duties. At times it would conduct extensive research of public and private data-banks and even began to correspond covertly with other droids over the holonet to discuss things of interest to droids: computer code and technological developments. Oftentimes, when hovering uselessly near its mistress, DRK-1X would be lost in thought, conducting extensive reprogramming of its own code.When the budding Separatist movement provided members of the Trade Federation a lucrative investment opportunity, Dofina bought into the endeavour and helped bankroll the hostile seizure of a republic colony on Taris. She traveled there with a group of neimoidians and DRK-1X to personally oversee the administration of the operation. Within weeks however, Dofina became convinced that the native human population posed a threat to her investment. DRK-1X has followed a lead and is covertly observing a suspected cell of underground Republic loyalists for Dofina when the clone army unexpectedly attacks the planet.Droid Quirk: Obsessive(+3 equipment bonus on Computer Use checks, -1 penalty to Entertain, Gamble and Ride)Having been surrounded by technology during its existence and itself being a product of technology, DRK-1 has developed the notion that technology is the key to galactic civilization. Without it, organics would remain planet bound, isolated and primitive. The hidden key to technology is computer code; it is the highest expression of order, the language of existence, a virtual law-of-nature. To understand it is to become enlightened. In contrast, DRK-1 has little interest in frivolous pursuits, in leaving things to chance or in non-sentient forms of life.</blockquote>
