KI, or Kalibac Industries, was a compact, yet innovative, droid production company. They operated out of both Coruscant and Procopia, two distinct planets. Though once affiliated with the Techno Union, the company struggled to gain traction within the galaxy's droid marketplace. Furthermore, numerous lawsuits with their rival, Cybot Galactica, had significantly impaired Kalibac's financial standing by the time the Galactic Civil War began. Despite this, their droid designs were of high quality, leading outlaw techs to frequently replicate them, often resulting in inferior and inexpensive knockoffs. These droids are described in greater detail in the droid article.
The Kalibac Industries logo, as seen in The New Essential Guide to Droids, incorporates the letters "K" and "I" from the Geonosian alphabet. This alphabet was created by Philip Metschan specifically for Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones.
