Jek-14


Jek-14, also known as Jek, was a human attuned to the Force. He sought sanctuary on Zoh, a remote planet known for its junkyards. Leveraging his connection to the Force, he established a new existence for himself, surrounded by loyal droid companions. These included BL-OX, the EV-series droid N-3RO, and Fixer, an MSE-6 series repair droid.

During the time of the Imperial Era, the Freemaker family journeyed to Zoh, seeking assistance from Jek-14. Jek formed a friendship with the Freemakers, which prompted N-3RO to initiate a mutiny. This was because the paranoid and unappreciative droid harbored a deep distrust of humans. Ultimately, the mutiny was thwarted by R0-GR, a B1-series battle droid and member of the Freemakers. Decades later, R0-GR recounted this uprising—including his knowledge of Jek, whom he found peculiar and enigmatic—in his "droidography," a book published no earlier than 34 ABY that detailed various droids.
