Test of the Droids

The Test of the Droids was a short battle that occurred in the city of Edic Bar on the planet of Genarius, during the time of the Clone Wars. While preparing to hold some Jedi Trials for students of the Almas Academy, the Jedi Master Lanius Qel-Bertuk dispatched a group of Jedi members of the Heroes of Cularin to collect some lightsaber components from Snem Noonb, a Sullustan who operated a manufacturing facility on Edic Bar. As a test for the agents, Qel-Bertuk conspired with Noonb to organize a "Test of the Droids", whereby Noonb would program a number of droids to stage a mock droid revolt after the heroes arrived. However, an agent of the Genarius-based criminal Zelice Sturm secretly re-programmed the droids to stage a genuine uprising that was beyond the control of Noonb. The heroes successfully defeated the droids, and Noonb contacted Qel-Bertuk, to inform him that the droids had been tampered with.
