R5-G8

"Gate countered sharply that his microprocessing time was too valuable to waste analyzing meaningless odds."

R5-G8, or "Gate", was an astromech droid used by Wedge Antilles in the early years of the New Republic. Gate was constructed as R5-D2, and then known as "Mynock" for its loud screams. Just prior to the Battle of Thyferra in 7 ABY, Wedge reached his limit with the somewhat cowardly droid and had its memory wiped. Rogue Squadron mechanic Zraii took this opportunity to upgrade the droid's internal components as well, resulting in its new designation and nickname. As Gate, the astromech had a very dispassionate demeanor.

During Isard's return, Gate and fellow Rogue astromech, Whistler bravely escaped to get word of the squadron's status to Mirax Terrik and the New Republic.
