K1A-RA-7

K1A-RA-7, was an Imperial protocol droid. In place of the standard RA-7 body, he instead had the body of a 3PO unit. He had gold plating and green sensors.

Early life
KIA was assigned to act as the assistant of Ozzarus Vanc by the ISB agent, Potiphar Miggs. In reality, Miggs was suspicious of Vlanc's loyalty to the Emperor, and sent the droid to spy on him. While on Taspir III, KIA continuously followed Vlanc around and recorded every conversation that he had. Vlanc had an intense dislike of the droid and had an astromech droid, R2-E7 keep an eye on him. E& quickly discovered that KIA was a spy and deactivated him, before turning him over to the engineers for reprogramming. Because of his reprogramming, KIA no longer spied on Vlanc, although his protocol droid skills were still poor.

New life
In 9 ABY, Vlanc attempted to stop the Emperor from unleashing his Galaxy gun on the Galaxy by attempting a brave-but foolish- attack on the Emperor while he was on Byss. Knowing that the mission had a high chance of failure, he had his wife, children and bodyguards put on a shuttle that was to leave the planet if the mission should fail. The shuttle was forced to take off after the Emperor killed Vlanc and the majority of his fleet and launched a missile at Vlanc's fortress. KIA and E7 stayed with Vlanc's widow and helped her to take care of her children, Zakon and Azara.
