R2-S8

R2-S8 was an R2 series astromech droid with white, black and red plating and a black sensor. Like all R2 astromech droids, it stood 93 centimeters tall and was manufactured by Industrial Automaton. In 13 BBY,Solo: A Star Wars Story The Official Guide dates the events on Corellia in Solo: A Star Wars Story, which includes R2-S8's appearance, to 6 years after the formation of the Galactic Empire. Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates the formation of the Empire to 19 BBY, therefore the events on Corellia must take place in 13 BBY. R2-S8 was present in Coronet Spaceport in Coronet City on the planet Corellia. Following a breach of the customs gates causing a security alert in the spaceport, R2-S8 was displaying a blue hologram from its holoprojector for a pair of Imperial Fleet Troopers when a nearby family of humans was forcefully separated by stormtroopers.
