STALKER-1, a mining droid with masculine programming, functioned as a guard for a chromium mine located on Burnin Konn. He served in this capacity for numerous years, but after forgoing memory wipe procedures, the droid began to crave the thrill of hunting. Consequently, he enlisted with The Smuggler's crew, the head of the Uprising.
The character STALKER-1 was designed for Star Wars: Uprising, a mobile game that launched in 2015. He is among the various crew members players can deploy on Crew Runs, where they gather valuable resources. Early promotional materials showed STALKER-1 with gold plating and Igniter with blue plating, mirroring their original in-game avatars. However, the character models themselves displayed Igniter in gold and STALKER-1 in blue. This discrepancy was an accidental oversight, which was later addressed through a game update. The update kept the model colors consistent, and the avatars were changed to match.
