Rescue of Gedeek Obaz

During 3 ABY, Kay Vess' crew rescued the Rodian droidsmith Gedeek Obaz from the Imperial facility of Research Station 57, in order to recruit a crewmember that can surpass the droid gatekeeper of Westhill Palace, the place of which they intended to perform a heist in. After arriving on Akiva to gain intel from the Sullustan crime lord, Surat Nuat, Vess and her merqaal partner-in-crime, Nix, would make their way towards Research Station 57.

Near the facility, Vess and Nix were able to breach the defenses of the exterior, and eventually infiltrate inside the station. After navigating past the Imperial forces on-site, the two were attacked by a turret model designed by Gedeek Obaz, which they were able to deactivate. Ultimately, Vess confronted Obaz in his workshop at the facility, when she entered a standoff against a protocol droid reprogrammed by the droidsmith. Nevertheless, Vess would convince Obaz to join the crew, and later be able to escape from the facility.
