A major war had broken out between various factions of the criminal underworld, causing much distress and turmoil to many planet's caught in the crossfire. The worlds in Hutt Space became specially affect by the war, since many Hutt's were being assassinated. The second danger was of surviving HK-50 Units, believed to be all but destroyed. The remaining units had been rallied together by HK-02, who wished to continue the legacy of the infamous HK-01, and start a second Great Droid Revolution. As such, high-ranking residents of various worlds within the Kossa Prime sector were being secretly assassinated by their own droids.
