R2-B1/Legends

R2-B1 was a R2-series astromech droid. His last assigned duty was on Naboo, in the repair droid pool on the royal cruiser belonging to Queen Amidala. There the droid worked alongside the famed R2-D2.
==Biography==
During the blockade of Naboo and the subsequent heroic escape, the ship carrying Queen Amidala was hit by enemy fire and damaged. The six droids stored on board were sent out to repair the damage during the attack. R2-B1 was one of the many droids destroyed in this event, blasted off the hull of the starship. Only R2-D2 survived to restore shield power to the cruiser, allowing the ship to eventually make its way to Tatooine for further repairs.
