R3-XY might look like a worn out modified R3 droid but in reality he is one of the rare species of inorganic sentient beings known as Shard. He was found on a high mountain on Dathomir sculpting rocks by a Captain Farvo of the Republic expedition force. This began his career of exploration. Having been set inside a R3 droid for ease of mobility it became his saving grace as war hit the Republic and he lost his dear friend Captain Farvo in a Separatist ambush.

Having to make his way through the verse on his own during the war and then hearing the Empire destroyed and locked down his homeworld, now R3-XY set out in disguise as a mediocre astromech.

He hopes to one day make a name for inorganics to once again be in the Senate and recognized as a people, droid also.

His travels have been rough on R3-XY, he has had to lie, steal, and kill to survive. He’s not proud of being a murder, and keeps it a secret.

And he keeps that he is a Shard force user a secret.

Freedom- for all species, organic and inorganic. The Force binds us all, and can set us all free.

And to find a new world for the Shard to thrive in.

Hmm I’m having a hard time picking.

-Curiosity (left his home world to see what the verse was like)

-Obsession (to find a way to survive at all cost)

R3-XY is what you get when you collide a R3 and at K2 series droid.

He has a clear dome, now scratched and yellowed over the many decades of use. If you look close you can see the Shard body it’s self in the dome.

He’s a former black and gold unit but now durasteel and poor paint job, with lots of carbon scoring and welded mod parts.

His Shard body reflects what Dathomir looks like: deep maroon with wisps of green and white lightning erupting from his core.
