Unidentified Tatooine astromech droid

"You must be the droid we were sent for."

- Jaden Korr, upon finding the R5

This Industrial Automaton-made astromech droid was an R5-series astromech droid in the R-series owned by a moisture farmer living on the desert planet Tatooine in 14 ABY. It had white plating and stood at one meter tall. The farmer ordered the droid to record a conversation about the Disciples of Ragnos, a cult that was trying to bring back Sith Lord Marka Ragnos, that he had overheard in a local bar. When he became fearful of reprisals from the cult, he sold the droid to a band of Jawas. Padawan Jaden Korr went to get the droid from the Jawas. The Jedi had to fight his way through some Tusken Raiders that had attacked the Jawas, but eventually he located the R5 unit and impounded it without paying the Jawas.
