An advanced toolkit has been integrated into K-D9, allowing it to perform sophisticated and large-scale repairs on other droids or technology.

This BB Unit "Resistance Edition" Astromech Droid has greatly improved astrogation programming, allowing it to perform incredibly more complex maneuvers and store additional hyperspace coordinates or jumps within its memory.

K-D9 has been fitted with a built-in comlink that has been encrypted, allowing it to access and communicate securely and safely over various communications networks without additional gear..

K-D9 has developed a personality around the concept of a caretaker. It has assumed the needs of its owner to be its prime directive, even such tasks that have not been requested of it. This results in K-D9 often flitting about in an attempt to meet any possible task before it is necessary, including menial tasks.

K-D9 has been altered to appear more as a token of wealth than your typical BB Unit "Resistance Edition" Astromech Droid. Silver paint has been applied to the droid's exterior, allowing for accented gold plating in order to create a contrast and draw attention to the supposed credit value the droid represents.
