"Assimilating Jedi battle tactics."
- Krath War Droid

The Krath war droid was a powerful battle droid series created by the Krath, an organization of dark siders founded by the corrupt nobles of the Empress Teta system in 4,000 BBY.

A single Krath War Droid was humanoid in appearance though they could hunch down as animals and race at amazing speeds towards their target due to a gyro-balance assembly system. These droids were designed to surprise and overwhelm their enemies in devastating shock assaults, making them deadly. Despite being easy to manufacture, Krath War Droids had limited cognitive matrices and were programmed only to seek and destroy the greatest threat on the battlefield. Thus, Krath War Droids were often deployed in large numbers to overwhelm the enemy.

They were armed with a melee combat short sword for hacking at close range and a Pulse-wave firing assembly. The attenuated induction spines of this weapon generated a pulse-wave charge and could also be used as a spearlike skewering/thrusting tool.
