Activation: 7 Kyber Crystals or 800 Nova, at Huyang with this droid equipped as a companion and at least one rebirth. Payment availability needs confirmation. Inactive Kyber has no companion perk; activated colours share the same power-8 perk.

Base sell-chip reward: 102. Kyber crafting is reported as twice Stellar's duration; exact raw times remain withheld where the matching-depot convention is unresolved. Protocol bay effects are separate from colour income and are not extrapolated.

Payback divides the published craft cost by raw income only, excluding station and account bonuses. Non-earning placements have no earning payback.

Next upgrades use the community-reported Upgrade Chip matrix, reviewed 2026-09-26. These are per-step chip costs, not blueprint credit costs or sell-chip rewards; not independently verified here.

Community references use different crafting conventions: some ordinary times include a 10% matching-depot reduction, while the retained snapshot excludes it. Only the 28 missing Protocol durations were added as reported raw seconds, without that reduction. Other times have not been normalized or adopted; remaining unknowns, including withheld Rainbow/Beskar times, stay unknown.Crafting data and conventions.

A rebirth only counts droids actually deployed in your base, though the lounge counts. The base planner works out where this one should sit, and each rebirth path has a planner of its own on its tracker's Base tab.
