DK-RA-43 was an RA-7 protocol droid. Initially constructed on Affa within the droid production facilities of the Galactic Empire, his ownership eventually transferred to Hondo Ohnaka, a Weequay pirate, though the specifics of this acquisition are vague. It is suggested that Hondo either secured the droid through a game of sabacc, or traded a pedigree Loth-cat plus a cask of Savareen brandy for him. Following a memory wipe, DK-RA-43 had his systems augmented with data banks taken from several tourism droids, and was tasked with developing reports for a publication known as the Galactic Explorer's Guide.
