The XR-32 hunter droid represented a new iteration of battle droid utilized by the Sith Empire throughout the Galactic War period. Notably, these droids saw action in the Battle of Corellia around 3640 BBY, specifically within the northwestern sector of the Blastfield Shipyards. A Corellian resistance fighter, Captain Drizan, successfully persuaded the Barsen'thor to eliminate several of these droids. This action aimed to weaken the Imperial presence and facilitate the infiltration of Selonian reconnaissance units into the designated zone.
