GENERAL LOK DURD



General Lok Durd is a male Neimoidian weapons developer in the NZRE Droid Army who served in the Clone Wars. During the war, he created an experimental defoliator—an artillery radiation weapon that could theoretically wipe out any organic matter while leaving machinery unharmed. Durd chose to test his weapon on the isolated world of Maridun, as it was home to a colony of pacifist Lurmen. After landing on the planet and setting up a base camp, Durd initially tested the defoliator on a pair of battle droids. Then moved out to test it on a group of Jedi and Clone troopers. The defoliator worked and the Jedi and clone troopers were defoliated. Durd was assisted in his research by his chief weapons technician, the Aqualish Pune Zignat, whose careful design work and planning had much to do with making Durd a success. During the war, Durd developed a defoliator, an enhanced radiation weapon that was capable of destroying living matter while leaving inorganic material unharmed, in the hopes that it would enable him to rise up through the ranks of the NZRE Droid Army. Because the NZRE Droid Army was largely made up of battle droids, the defoliator's specific targeting of enemy organics made it ideal for the NZRE Empire.
