Connector rod

Connector rods were rods sold in the Office of Acquisitions on the supertanker fuel depot Colossus. In 34 ABY, the First Order operative Teroj Kee asked the mechanic Kazuda Xiono, who was working there that day, to deliver a crate of connector rods and other items to loading dock 23. Though Xiono did so, Kee trapped him in the storage locker, having intended to lure the former out of the store so he could steal a phase connector from its back room.
==History==
Connector rods were a type of rod sold in the Office of Acquisitions—owned by the proprietors Flix and Orka—on the supertanker fuel depot Colossus. After his hand was bit by the gorg Bitey in 34 ABY, the First Order operative Teroj Kee asked the mechanic Kazuda Xiono—who was watching the Office of Acquisitions for a day to repay a debt to Flix and Orka—to deliver a crate of connector rods, three tool kits, and ten laser lenses, to his storage locker at loading dock 23 in the Colossus loading docks. Though Xiono was excited, believing the sale to be genuine, Kee instead intended to draw Xiono away from the shop so he could steal an expensive phase connector device from the establishment's vault.
Xiono gathered the requested parts on a pallet and proceeded to deliver them despite his astromech droid, BB-8, finding the situation suspicious. Upon arrival, the mechanic was held at blaster-point by Kee in the locker and trapped inside of it. Though Xiono escaped, the locker—including the connector rods and other parts inside—were dropped into the waters of the Mid Rim planetStar Wars: Galaxy's Edge: Traveler's Guide to Batuu Castilon below.
