GoCorp repulsor plant
The GoCorp repulsor plant was a remote[1] that produced manufacturing plant repulsorcrafts. GoCorp employed the EV-series supervisor droid EV-9D9 to supervise[2] the plant's droid workforce. Unfotunately for its dozens of worker droids, the corporation appreciated and encouraged the supervisor droid's derangement. Under her supervison, the laborers were unbelievably overworked and had a high attrition rate, but production was well beyond what droids were normally able to accomplish. While the Hutt crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure was commissioning several sand skiffs at the GoCorp repulsor plant, his agents discovered EV-9D9 supervising the plant. Impressed by her ability to drive droids far beyond their capacities, they bought the supervisor droid and put her to work in Jabba's Palace on the planet Tatooine.[2]
Behind the scenes
The GoCorp repulsor plant was first mentioned in Galaxy Guide 5: Return of the Jedi, a 1990 Star Wars Legends reference book written by Michael Stern.[2] The text in the three WEG books is identical. The Essential Guide to Droids ("EV Supervisor Droid") provides a truncated version that notes the plant as being remote rather than defunct, and Jabba's agents as being 'henchmen'.
