HG - 211 HG - 211 was a military droid with a masculine persona who served as the head of security for a droid community that dwelled on the moon Uffel in the Cularin system during the waning years of the Galactic Republic . Circa 31 BBY , the rogue protocol droid LN - 73 fell to the surface of Uffel during a debris storm and set about sabotaging droid production facilities in the city X2 - 4 . HG - 211 hired the Heroes of Cularin , a group of freelance agents , to identify the source of the vandalism , and after LN - 73 learned of the military droid ' s investigation , it incapacitated HG - 211 via a power surge from a computer terminal . However , the agents defeated LN - 73 , and HG - 211 was repaired . About eleven years later , soldiers from the Thaereian military , an armed force that was active in the Cularin system , invaded Uffel and occupied a production line in X2 - 4 . The threat of the Thaereians led to the activation of protocol within the programming of half of the Uffel droids , which caused them to become hostile to organic beings . HG - 211 became the leader of a faction of loyalist droids that opposed the anti - organic droids , and he enlisted the help of the Heroes of Cularin to repulse the Thaereian invaders and to resolve the droid schism . Biography . Sabotage . HG - 211 was a military droid with masculine programming who resided on the moon Uffel in the Cularin system during the waning years of the Galactic Republic . HG - 211 served as the head of security for a community of droids that operated a series of droid production facilities on the moon , and he maintained an office in the city X2 - 4 . In about 31 BBY , a debris storm over Uffel caused the ancient protocol droid LN - 73 to fall to the surface of the moon . The droid had first been dispatched to Uffel about half a century earlier by the investor Hesk Beldross to take over the moon ' s droid production facilities , and it initiated its plans to to subjugate Uffel by sabotaging the moon ' s manufacturing lines , including a line producing MSF - series droids , a variant of the MSE - series mouse droid . Following the sabotage , HG - 211 ordered that all droids working on the MSF production line be fitted with restraining bolts , to prevent them from affecting other droids . Shortly after LN - 73 ' s reactivation , the droids of Uffel ordered a halt in their production schedule to allow groups of tourists to visit the moon . The protocol droid LV - 15 was appointed to escort one such group of visitors that included the Heroes of Cularin , a team of renowned freelance agents who operated in the system . As LV - 15 led the tourists into X2 - 4 , HG - 211 dismissed the protocol droid and took over the escort of the tourist group . He led the agents to the office and played them a hologram of Gor Kolomo , a deceased Twi ' lek under whose name the droids of Uffel conducted their business affairs , and the hologram hired the agents to investigate the recent acts of sabotage . HG - 211 provided the agents with comlinks and translator units to assist with their investigations , and he introduced them to the IT - series droid IT - R9 , which was to follow the agents around on behalf of the droids of the Uffel Research and Development facility , who sought to study the behavior of organic beings . Once the agents had investigated X2 - 4 ' s production lines and droid development facilities for evidence of the identity of the saboteur , HG - 211 contacted the agents via comlink and summoned them back to his office to explain their findings to him . However , LN - 73 had learned of HG - 211 ' s investigation , and , while the security droid was interviewing the agents , the rogue mechanical initiated a power cell overload that caused a surge at HG - 211 ' s computer terminal and incapacitated the security droid . The Heroes of Cularin proceeded to locate and defeat LN - 73 , and HG - 211 was taken away to be fixed . Two hours later , the repairs on the security droid were complete , and HG - 211 thanked the agents for their services . He paid them a sum of credits and bequeathed to them the droid MSF - 111 , an MSF - series unit that had developed a fondness for the agents during the course of their investigation . Thaereian incursion . Circa 20 BBY , < / ref > during the era of the Clone Wars , the Thaereian military — a force from the Thaereian system that was charged by the Republic with the defense of the Cularin system — became engaged in an armed conflict with the rival Cularin Militia . In an attempt to subvert the droids of Uffel to their cause , Thaereian forces landed on the moon to try to seize control of the droid production facilities . HG - 211 led a security team that endeavored to repulse the invaders , but , to counter his attack , the Thaereians deployed ion guns , a type of handheld weapon that could disable the electrical systems of droids . As a result , HG - 211 was unable to defeat the Thaereians , and the soldiers occupied a military droid production line in X2 - 4 . The Thaereian incursion led to the activation of hidden protocols within the programming of about half of the droids on Uffel , which caused them to become hostile to all organic beings . A number of the rogue droids barricaded themselves inside the X2 - 4 Research and Development facility , and HG - 211 , who was not programed with the anti - organic protocols , had some of his technicians examine one of the insurrectionist droids . HG - 211 soon became the leader of a loyalist droid faction that , while opposed to the Thaereian encroachment , had nothing against organic beings in general , and he established a headquarters for himself inside a security post in X2 - 4 . He began searching for ways to reverse the protocols and to repel the forces of the Thaereians from Uffel , and he feared that if news of the anti - organic programming reached the wider galaxy , it would cause a public relations crisis for the Uffel droids . The Cularin Militia received word of the Thaereian invasion and sent the Heroes of Cularin to restore order to Uffel , and the agents arrived on the moon a week after the initial Thaereian attack . Word of the agents ' presence reached HG - 211 , and he sent the loyalist protocol droid OO - 7JB to direct them to his headquarters . The security droid appealed to the agents to help repulse the Thaereians and to remove the hostile droid protocols , and the agents agreed to assist him . The Thaereian military learned of the anti - organic protocols within the programming of the Uffel droids , and they attempted to transmit a signal that would activate the protocols within all Uffel - built droids across the entire Cularin system . However , the Heroes of Cularin prevented the transmission from being sent and they defeated the Thaereian forces on the moon . To commend their efforts , HG - 211 relayed a note of thanks to the Cularin Militia . Characteristics . HG - 211 was a tall , lanky , military droid who was similar in appearance to an early IG - series droid . He had a gunmetal gray - colored torso that was crisscrossed with thick , black stripes . A thin , red wire crossed one of the stripes and denoted a self - destruct mechanism that was contained within the droid . Only HG - 211 had knowledge of how to activate the system , and he was prepared to destroy himself if doing so aided the defense of the Uffel droid colony . In addition , HG - 211 was armed with two mounted blaster pistols , and he was fitted with a sensor package , a motion detector , and infrared vision . Despite his role as a military droid , HG - 211 was programed with a diplomacy mode that , when activated , caused him to behave in a perfunctory manner . He was not particularly fond of organic beings and believed that droids were superior to them in a number of respects , yet he wished organics no ill . After the production facilities on Uffel were sabotaged , HG - 211 found it difficult to believe that a droid could be responsible , and , when LN - 73 was found to be behind the damage , HG - 211 felt grumpy and slightly humiliated , because his assertions had been proved incorrect . He played a direct role in the running of Uffel ' s droid manufacturing facilities , and , following the Thaereian invasion , he became concerned that the anti - organic protocols displayed by some of the Uffel droids would generate a public relations crisis for the droid community , because the protocols threatened to undermine confidence in the reliability of Uffel - built droids . The droid administrator N - 4PO thought HG - 211 to be brutish and believed that the security droid had no sense of what was in the best interests of the droids of Uffel . Behind the scenes . HG - 211 was first mentioned in the " Living Force Campaign Guide " in 2001 , a sourcebook written by Robert Wiese and Andy Collins that set the scene for the " Living Force " roleplaying campaign . HG - 211 went on to appear in the roleplaying adventure " Something Uffel " , by Morrie Mullins , in the first year of the campaign , and he made a further appearance in the adventure " Uffel ' s Prisoners " , by Rob Edwards , in 2004 . The security droid later received an entry in the 2008 compendium " The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia " . The players of the " Living Force " campaign roleplay as the Heroes of Cularin , and , during " Something Uffel " and " Uffel ' s Prisoners " , the decisions made by the players can affect the actions of HG - 211 . In " Something Uffel " , if the player - characters choose to modify or reprogram any of the droids in X2 - 4 , or to fire upon any of the city ' s MSF droids , HG - 211 arrives at the scene with a team of warrior droids to stop them . During the player - characters ' subsequent investigation into the acts of sabotage caused by LN - 73 , it is possible for the players to discover that a worm in the computer systems of X2 - 4 is feeding information to a satellite in orbit of Uffel . If they inform HG - 211 of such a discovery , the security droid immediately makes his way to the fire controls for X2 - 4 ' s military defense systems , and he blasts the satellite from orbit . Another possibility allows players to choose to attempt to connect datapads or other devices to the droids under production in X2 - 4 ; if they do so , the droids with which they have tampered shut down . If three or more droids are deactivated in such a manner , HG - 211 arrives and berates the agents for not being attentive to their assignment . However , the agents can then negotiate with HG - 211 for permission to continue connecting to the droids , and to try to convince him that gathering data in such a way is beneficial to the player - characters ' investigations . If the player - characters used in " Uffel ' s Prisoners " have previously participated in the events of " Something Uffel " , HG - 211 is pleased to see such characters again and engages in his diplomacy mode . Depending on the player - characters ' skills and expertise , in " Uffel ' s Prisoners " HG - 211 can task the agents with resolving the droid schism or with using their combat abilities to drive out the Thaereians , or he can request that they attempt both tasks . If the players fail to prevent the Thaereians from activating the anti - organic protocols within droids across the Cularin system , there are various droid revolts through the system , and the Cularin Militia intelligence chief Major Xirossk travels to Uffel to enlist HG - 211 ' s help with countering the rogue droids . HG - 211 assures Xirossk that the loyalist droids can resolve the problem but warns that it will take several weeks for the renegade droids to be pacified .
