Background
 
R2-D0 was manufactured by Industrial Automaton as a standard R2-series astromech, designed for starfighter navigation, repair, and assistance. Assigned to Agent Tay Vanis (aka "Tiree") of the Alliance to Restore the Republic, R2-D0 served during critical missions involving intelligence gathering and resistance cell organization.
 
 
Following the Battle of Yavin, R2-D0 accompanied Vanis to a clandestine meeting on Bothawui. When Imperial forces, led by ISB Agent Mar Barezz, discovered the site, Vanis made a calculated sacrifice—drawing off the Imperials while ordering R2-D0 to lead the new recruits to safety through an abandoned lidium mine.
 
 
R2-D0 used its built-in tools, schematics, and knowledge of the terrain to help the recruits evade capture and reach a hangar with hidden BTL Y-wing starfighters. Once aboard, R2-D0 interfaced with the droid socket to upload the coordinates of a hidden Rebel base, ensuring the escape of the recruits and a wounded Vanis.
 
 
Personality
 
Loyal, resourceful, and surprisingly brave for a droid. R2-D0 often “chirps” insistently when ignored and shows strong initiative in dangerous situations. Though it cannot speak Basic, its messages are clearly conveyed through tone, urgency, and holoprojections.
 
 
Objectives
 
-- Assist Rebel agents in covert missions
 
-- Preserve and deliver critical intel
 
-- Protect Tay Vanis and any Rebel recruits
 
-- Maintain functionality of Alliance starfighters under stress
 
 
Quote
 
[Translated from binary:] “This unit will complete the mission—even if it must roll over every stormtrooper between here and hyperspace.”
