After the rogue assassin droid HK-01 was finally captured, the Republic spent many years recovering from the attacks. Droid designers and manufacturers then turned to weapons developers to work on ion weapons that would short-circuit a droid's electronic systems. The result of this conflict would be an end to the budding "droids' rights" movement for a time.
These events were later chronicled in the book Conflagration: An Eyewitness Account of the Great Droid Uprising.
The Knights of the Old Republic Campaign Guide mistakenly establishes the droid uprising as happening during the Great Sith War.
