Legend

this man was a warrior during the Old Republic. He received greivous wounds during battle - some believe during the Clone Wars - and was able to survive only by having cybernetic replacements implanted in his body. After seeing the lasting physical injury organic beings were willing to inflict upon each other, just to settle some petty dispute, Kligson decide to retire from life. He cobbled together a collection of starship parts and scraps, which became known as Kligson's Moon, and set out to spend the rest of his life without outside organic contact. He surrounded himself with droids, and would only allowed automata to board the station. Sometime after the Battle of Hoth, Luke Skywalker and his own droids, C-3PO nd R2-D2, brought a damaged Imperial warbot to Kligson for repairs. The warbot was discarded, but Kligson tried to tke possession of C-3PO and R2-D2, hoping to examine two automatons who actually enjoyed the company of organics. His plans to examine the two droids were smashed when his own chief of security, a former Imperial combat droid known as Z-X3, tried to take control of Kligson's moon for itself. Z-X3 believed it had shot and killed Kligson, but it actually destroyed an android duplicate. Kligson survived, and ordered the destruction of Z-X3 and its companions. Then, fearing Imperial pursuit, Kligson took his space station and fled into the depths of space. He did, however, provide Luke with the full schematics of the warbot before disappearing.
