A71 represented an A-series assassin droid model that the Confederacy of Independent Systems utilized throughout the Battle of Jabiim. It had undergone particular alterations for its deployment on Jabiim, likely to allow it to function in the constant downpours of the world.
The most significant action of these droids involved the death of Tae Diath, who was the first member of the Padawan Pack to be killed during battle. Moreover, because of a mental connection established with Elora Sund to ensure his composure and command, they also caused her death as a result of the resulting psychic feedback.
