R6-D8

R6-D8 was an R6 astromech droid that served in the Resistance as the astromech of Temmin Wexley. He perished alongside his master when their T-70 X-wing starfighter was downed into a Star Destroyer by the Sith Eternal forces during the Battle of Exegol, moments before the arrival of the Citizens' Fleet.
Before his death, R6-D8 learned of Mister Bones, Wexley's late reprogrammed B1-series battle droid, after studying his masters logs. Seeking to please Wexley, R6-D8 tried to make himself more aggressive. However, he did not dare to overwrite the factory-set safety inhibitors in his personality matrix.
