Background
R5K3 is an astromech droid produced by Industrial Automaton. He was rescued from a junk dealer on Tatooine by a band of escapees from Teemo's Palace. He spent a little more than a year aboard the Krayt Fang, where he served as part of the Last Merc Outpost Company. However, he was eventually caught by imperial agents and was reassigned to an Imperial workcamp on Torque, in the Gordian Reach. He assisted in the vehicle maintenance, where he made friends with a Freighter pilot named Tycho Manin.
Motivation
R5K3 is focused on finding the crew of the Krayt Fang and ensuring that Lowhhrick and 41-Vex are safe and free. Due to a botched mission on Ord Mantell, both were captured.
Duties
Sabotage (23): The largest and most powerful military force in the history of the galaxy is also the most vulnerable to acts of destruction and asset denial. The R5-K3 is focused on disrupting Imperial operations in any way possible, whether it's the manufacture of weapons, troop movements, supply shipments, banking systems, or any other key operation, in order to make the Empire act more slowly and less capably. Truly showy acts of destruction also work to erode a population's will to support the Empire, or so R5 often believes (though the Alliance expressly forbids actual acts of terrorism).
Description
R5K3 is an astromech droid produced by Industrial Automaton. He is white with red accessories. He is surprisingly nimble for the R5 line due to a rotating stabilizer that Tycho installed. He also has an injection chute that he has discovered can function as a grenade launcher of sorts, which he is eager to test out.
