HK-55
Unlike previous HK units, the HK-55 model was designed to be a loyal bodyguard, not an assassination droid. Created specifically to combat the Eternal Empire during Arcann's invasion of the Core Worlds, HK-55 was given to Lana Beniko, then head of Sith Intelligence, for her own protection. Although programmed with etiquette protocols to fit Imperial culture, HK-55 still has a few personality-matrix quirks, including an obsession with the term "meatbag" passed down from the HK-47 model. Despite his amiable disposition, it would be a mistake to think HK-55 a less proficient killer than his counterparts.

SpecialHK-55 Recruitment
In the later expansions, players can recruit many companions to join their alliance, including companions from other stories.
Joins: Knights of the Fallen Empire, Shroud of Memory Chapter
Alliance Alert:
Arma RasaRecruitable By: All Characters who have unlocked the special chapter
Requirements: Must complete the
'To Find a Findsman' Alliance Alert (Yuun) firstHK-55 Influence
A companion's strength in battle is not determined by their gear, instead it is boosted by their Influence Level. A companion's Influence Level also affects their crafting and gathering speed for crew skills, and their crafting critical chance. Most companions start at Influence Level 1, and you can raise their influence level by making decisions they approve of in cutscenes, or by giving them gifts they enjoy.
The higher rank the gift is, and whether they like, favorite or love it, will affect how much Influence they gain from a gift. Gifts that HK-55 can gain Influence from are listed below along with how to get them.
Boost HK-55 to Influence Level 50: You can make your companion incredibly strong by boosting them up to influence level 50. Using a Companion Compendium is the fastest way to get to Influence 50 and levels your companion to influence level 50 immediately, without using gifts. You can either get one in the Strongholds section of the Fleet for 3 Dark Projects plus 4.25 million credits, or buy them from the Cartel Market / GTN.
