ARIES

ARIES was a self-aware droid that remained as sole ruler of Iokath for millennia following the eradication of his creators in the Iokath Civil War. Hidden from the rest of the galaxy, he repurposed the other droids from preservation of Iokath to aggression against any foreign entity. When another Iokath creation called SCORPIO returned to Iokath along with the GEMINI droids and the Eternal Fleet, ARIES used of many weapons left on Iokath to incapacitate every organic being onboard those vessels, placing them in testing simulations like he did with all his previous visitors. However, SCORPIO proved to be cunning and escaped, as did many of the other prisoners, with the Eternal Empire forces recapturing the Eternal Fleet, while members of the Alliance regained control of the Gravestone. ARIES lowered a planetary shield preventing any vessel from escape and began to re-energize his superweapon, intending to use it on lethal setting this time. However, his base was stormed by the Alliance Commander, who engaged ARIES in a fight and defeated him. While the Commander attempted to shut down the weapon, ARIES attempted to stab them in the back, but was shot and permanently destroyed by SCORPIO.
