Droid Crush Pirates of Bestoon


The Droid Crush Pirates of Bestoon, known more simply as the Droid Crush and also referred to as the Crush, were droid pirates associated with Bestoon and led by Captain Ought-Six and were known to be recruited by the Jedi hunter Ochi of Bestoon.

History


The Droid Crush Pirates of Bestoon, or simply the Droid Crush, were a crew of droid pirates. A number of B1-KX monster droids were among the ranks of the Crush. At some point, Doctor Chelli Lona Aphra and the smuggler Just Lucky stole from the Droid Crush. Eventually, the pirates tracked the two down with the intention of killing them both for revenge, proving Lucky's point to Aphra that mistakes could catch up to a person. Their attempt to kill the two thieves failed.

The Droid Crush Pirates were tasked by the Sith assassin Ochi of Bestoon in hunting the Sith Lord Darth Vader on Mustafar, having been promised with the high-quality technology within Vader's armor. After retrieving his lightsaber, Vader destroyed Captain Ought-Six and the rest of the droids present. The captain was later repaired and again attacked Vader with more droids. Repaired once more, Ought-Six gathered a grouping of droids who had also fallen to Vader in the past to form the droid uprising. However, Vader's spy ZED-6-7 tricked the droids into a battle that left all gathered destroyed, including the Crush Pirates. The Crush Pirates and every other uprising droid was then rebuilt and reprogrammed to serve Vader, although Ought-Six retained the ability to be annoyed by his new duty to the Sith Lord.

By 21 ABY, the Droid Crush had grown in prestige and professionalism, according to Ought-Six. The Crush was hired by Ochi to participate in a raid on Nightside in the Therezar system. When the Crush failed and suffered heavy causalities, Ochi destroyed the captain and contacted his Sith Eternal benefactors, requesting that they assign him troopers to help in his hunt for Rey.
