New Republic Report : Vigil Droid Behavior Mods

We have discovered that the behavior chips sold by Vigil Droid Logistics Trafficking are without a doubt the cause of the recent droid rebellions on Correllia and Telos IV. The chips disable all combat inhibitors and in fact cause the droids to lash out violently at any organic beings around them. This function seems to remain dormant until it receives some sort of broadcast signal. We are having trouble determining where the signal may have originated as there does not seem to be any link between any ambient signals on either Correllia or Telos at the time of the rebellions.

While the Corporate Sector refuses to cooperate with us on providing records for VDLT, looking into the books for major droid manufacturers it would appear they've been outsourcing their behavior chips to Vigil for the last three years. Current estimates indicate that the number of droids with these chips could take over a month to locate and re-chip. If the Droids responsible for this manage a global broadcast of their signal on a largely populated planet, or Force forbid a galaxy wide broadcast within the next month, losses would be substantial and potentially crippling to the New Republic.
