Gestrex III

Gestrex III was a terrestrial astronomical object located in the Gestrex system, a part of the Calaron sector in the Slice portion of the Outer Rim Territories. It was connected to the Kegan and Norval systems via the hyperlane known as the Triellus Trade Route.

During the Galactic Civil War, a base of the Galactic Empire's Navy was located on Gestrex III. The guard droid Armx—in reality an espionage unit for Imperial Intelligence—was assigned to the base at one point. However, sometime between 2 BBY and 1 BBY, only three days after the droid's posting on Gestrex III, the facility was decimated by a team of Rebel Alliance commandos. The base was subsequently abandoned, with only Armx remaining amidst its wreckage. The droid underwent an alteration in its original programming—whether due to radiation leakage or damage sustained during the raid—over the following days and eventually became a bounty hunter.
