R7-series astromech droid



The R7-series astromech droid was an astromech droid produced by Industrial Automaton shortly after the Battle of Endor. The R7-series was designed specifically for use with the New Republic E-wing starfighter.

Development of the R7-series was a corporate secret, occuring during the media blitz that surrounded production of the R6-series astromech droid. The R7-unit featured two fixed, wheeled legs and a third retractable leg, and were heavily shielded against electrical discharges. These droids were primarily used onboard FreiTek E-wing starfighters, and required significant modification to work effectively with the X-wing or Y-wing starfighters. A typical R7-unit could hold up to fifteen hyperspace jump coordinates in its memory banks.
