XPLR-R
originally developed by Viper Sensor Intelligence Systems, this droid was designed to map new hyperspace travel routes and locate planets which could be colonized. However, Arakyd Industries claimed that the XPLR-R was created from their own probe droid designs, which had been stolen by VSIS and used without permission. VSIS placed so much emphasis on maintaining the secrecy of the development of the XPLR-R that they forgot about corporate security. In an effort to put a halt to the XPLR-R's production, Arakyd sent a force of sixty AAD-4 combat droids to shut the facility down. VSIS was absorbed into Arakyd, and the further develoment of the XPLR-R was terminated.
