DK-RA-43 was an RA-7 protocol droid. Originally built for the Galactic Empire in the droid factories of Affa, he ended up with a new master, the Weequay pirate Hondo Ohnaka, under unclear circumstances—the droid was either won in a sabacc game or exchanged for a purebreed Loth-cat and a barrel of Savareen brandy. After a memory wipe, DK-RA-43 was outfitted with databanks extracted from several , and ordered to prepare dossiers for a book titled the Galactic Explorer's Guide.
