History
When first introduced, the awkward NR-5 was considered the perfect maintenance droid. Intelligent and skilled enough to carry out a wide variety of tasks, but not so curious as to get itself into trouble, the NR-5 was hugely popular with individuals who needed additional technical help they could count on. At only 0.7 meters tall, the droid fits into most repair bays without modifications, its three limbs make it handy, and its square head and round body are often seen as cute. NR-5s are famous for their determination, which can be seen as both a boon and a liability. Some NR-5s refuse to leave their jobs until they they have been completed.

The only problem with the NR-5 series is that the droid isn't particularly sturdy. Though it works fine in the clean environment of a starship, it often doesn't do well in the harsh conditions of Outer Rim worlds. When the R4 droid was introduced by Industrial Automaton, sales of the NR-5 dropped considerably. Still, in gentle conditions the NR-5 generally does a better job than the R4, and many remain in use well into The New Jedi Order era.
