RQ protocol droid

The RQ protocol droid, also known as an RQ unit or the Lothal protocol droid, was a model of protocol droid produced by Lothal Logistics Limited around five years before the Battle of Yavin. The RQs were humanoid in shape, and at least some of them were covered in green and gray plating, and had yellow photoreceptors. Although able to perform many of the same functions as more expensive protocol droids, they were largely limited to Lothal and its neighboring systems. At least four of these units were part of Senator-in-exile Gall Trayvis' personal guard, and were equipped with force pikes. Those particular units were finished with the symbols and the blue coloring associated with the Galactic Senate. The smuggler Lando Calrissian transferred the logic unit of his personal attendant droid W1-LE in the body of an RQ unit.

Behind the scenes
The RQ protocol droid was developed from an unused design for C-3PO drawn by Ralph McQuarrie for Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope.
