C2-B5 was a black-plated R2 series astromech droid in the service of the Galactic Empire during the Imperial Era. The droid was regularly subjected to memory wipes to keep it subservient, causing the astromech to have no distinctive personality. In the year 0 BBY, C2-B5 was stationed at the Imperial complex on Scarif, searching for needed maintenance and performing computer network sweeps to locate any discrepancies within the Citadel Tower's vault. The R2 unit was present in the Citadel when a battle broke out against the Rebel Alliance, which resulted in the destruction of the entire base by the Empire's Death Star superweapon.

Behind the scenes
"There was a lot of thought given to making changes to the R2 units while staying within the protocol of what's been established. The C2-B5 is a product of that imagination."

- Neal Scanlan, creature effects supervisor for Rogue One

The character of C2-B5 was created for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the 2016 film that marks the first entry in the Star Wars Anthology Series. The droid was first revealed in an episode of The Star Wars Show, a weekly YouTube video series, released on August 31, 2016. Despite the character's significant presence in the film's marketing and merchandising, C2-B5 briefly appeared in the final film as a background character.

Shortly before the release of Rogue One, C2-B5 made its first canonical appearance in the Rogue One: Scarif expansion pack of the video game Star Wars Battlefront. In the game, the droid could be deployed into battle by the "hero" character Director Orson Krennic.
