PK-10

"I am a weather prediction droid, with secondary functions including navigation, translation, and news checking."

- PK-10

PK-10, also known as Peekay Ten or simply Peekay, was a weather analyst droid modified from parts of a protocol droid and a PK labor droid. Peekay belonged to Ilmar Grmek, the tactician and highest-ranking individual in the 1337 N00B5, who consulted Peekay for analysis of weather, whether it be atmospheric or cosmic. Peekay could analyze situations and advise Grmek, though he was programmed to let her be creative with her plans, as it was she who had the final say.

Peekay's primary function was to provide tactical information and objective reminders for the 1337 N00B5. Because weather could have a large impact on the outcome of any battle, Grmek had Peekay specially programmed to analyze and interpret atmospheric and cosmic weather patterns, which Grmek could use to her faction's advantage.

During the Return to Tralus, Peekay was reprogrammed by Jett Worrap, who used the droid to help instigate a mutiny against the 1337 N00B5. During this time, PK-10 spoke only in 1337 and frequently praised the Blood Karvers. When Jett Worrap and his gang eventually agreed to rejoin the 1337 N00B5 after their fighters were shot down, PK-10, who was remotely piloting the Banking Clan frigate that Zo Ii had hijacked, defied Jett Worrap's orders to return to the 1337 N00B5, and followed through with the initial plan. The Blood Karvers and the 1337 N00B5 then disabled the frigate and captured Peekay.

Though Peekay was supposed to have been reprogrammed after the incident on Tralus, the droid was henceforth even less objective in his status reports, often cheering on the 1337 N00B5 or using ironic metaphors to illustrate his point.

Behind the scenes
In Avian Hunt, each faction has a droid that will provide the player with hints and tactical suggestions as long as they are kept alive: the Republic has R2-D2, the CIS has a Tactical droid (as seen in The Clone Wars), the Empire has PROXY, and the 1337 N00B5 use PK-10.

In the game, Peekay is the only droid that will inform the player of weather patterns. Though players can see the weather as any faction, Peekay is the only droid to point it out. Peekay lacks other special abilities, however, such as the ability to be used as an astromech droid on a starfighter (like R2-D2), the ability to participate in boarding battles (like the CIS Tactical droid), and the ability to model himself after any person in a faction (like PROXY).

Peekay Ten is partly based on a real-life friend of C3PO the Dragon Slayer who aspires to be a weatherman and requested an homage in the game.
