The ancient droids of Lehon were built by the Rakata during the height of the Infinite Empire.
One such droid was used as an overseer for the construction of the Star Map temple on Dantooine. It was left active in case a Rakata should return to inquire about the Star Forge. As of 3,956 BBY, the Infinite Empire was a forgotten past and no Rakata had entered the cave for long millennia. However, the droid was still functioning and able to serve the first person that entered, Revan, a testament to the quality of its construction. This droid was nearly 25,000 years old and was older than the Galactic Republic itself.
As overseers of slaves, these droids were programmed with the languages of the Rakata slave species, including Selkatha, Tusken, and Rakatan, and they could understand (but not speak) Galactic Basic Standard. They had significant armor as well as a powerful array of weaponry, and if they were deactivated, could be fully repaired and reactivated through a computer terminal. During the Battle of Rakata Prime, Darth Malak activated a number of construction units to continuously spawn these droids in order to halt and, hopefully, kill his former master, Revan.
