R9-D2

R9-D2 is an R9-series astromech droid owned by Lucy Felth and takes part in missions carried out by the Spectres. R9 is often found in Lucy's company and serves as a backup astromech for both the Felths and the Spectres. R9 has taken part in both the Rescue of Ezra Bridger and the Battle of Nar Shaddaa serving on the Felth's Pride.
== History ==
R9 was first introduced to Ezra Bridger and the Spectres after Tevin Felth had a restraining bolt placed on Chopper and confined Chopper to New York City as punishment for several incidents of stealing. R9 joined Lucy and Josh Myers on a mission to Nal Hutta where the three fended off and managed to capture slavers employed by Grinta the Hutt. R9 is one of two astromechs that can communicate with the computer on the Astro Megaship (R2-D2 being the other one).
== Physical Description ==
R9-D2 is a blue and white astromech droid similar in appearance to the Felth's other astromech droid R2-D2. Like Chopper and R2, R9 is equipped with a variety of tools to do tasks such as a rocket that allows him to fly and a jack to interact with computers among other features.
== Personality ==
Originally docile, R9 began to adopt an attitude after spending time around the Spectres' other astromech Chopper and likely having his programming altered by Chopper. Although R9 has not yet misbehaved to the extent that Chopper has, he has often shocked Josh and played 's "" in response to watching Lucy making out with her new boyfriend Darius Carpenter. This is displayed in 2030 when R9 delivers shocks to an arguing Darius and Justin Felth to the delight of Caleb Carpenter. R9 also delivers shocks to Darius and Justin after they use in front of Caleb with the two and later Michael Piett wondering who programmed R9 to do that.
R9 is fiercely protective of Lucy to the point that even insulting her will cause him to deliver an electric shock or threaten to deliver one usually at her command. He later extends this to Caleb and at one point refuses to allow a teacher who had made derogatory remarks about Darius near Caleb. R9 is on good terms with both AP-5 and C-3PO who find him to be not as nasty as their regular counterparts. R9 gets along well with R2 and has a love-hate relationship with Chopper. He also showed no objections to the addition of BB-8 to his master's circle of friends or to being joined at his workplace by R9-G6 in 2031.
== Future ==
R9 is shown in 2030 to still be with Lucy who is at that point married to Darius and has given birth the couple's child, a son named Caleb. R9 is shown to be working with Lucy at the Remnant's facility in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as well as doing other jobs as assigned by Lucy. One day, after conversations with Caleb's teacher left both Lucy and Darius (who is working as a teacher himself) uneasy as well as Caleb's discomfort, Lucy leaves R9 with Caleb which causes further problems as R9 reportedly refuses to allow Caleb's teacher anywhere near him. R9 also serves onboard Lucy's X-Wing fighter when she flies it. In 2031, R9 is joined by another R9 unit called R9-G6 that belongs to Lucy's newest colleague Remnant Major J.J. Oliver.
R9 spends part of 2032 with Lucy's brother Christopher Felth. He is present when Chris engages in a shootout with a group of armed robbers at a coffee shop having been told by Chris to call in the robbery. During this time, R9 is introduced to Mira Syndulla, her droid R9-P1, and Lucy's second child Rachael Carpenter. He is also joined by R2-D2 who takes his place in Chris' home. Soon after Rachael is born, R9 displays what is referred to an an "aggressive behavior" towards Caleb when Caleb went to see Rachael.
