**R2-D7** was an astromech droid in service to the Jedi Order and the Republic military during the Clone Wars. Almost fifty years later, R2-D7 served with the Resistance's special operations unit Storm Cell, specifically serving onboard *Storm One* as the co-pilot and mechanic. R2-D7, often nicknamed Artoo or Deezee, was assigned to Koren Forsec by his squadron leader Kass Meckley at the Resistance starfighter outpost on Wul'ur V. Although he was almost destroyed several times during combat, he nonetheless escaped destruction and continued to help his comrades.

## **Biography**

### **Hero of Khalis**

At 21 BBY, R2-D7, a special order for a Pantoran named Deon Trockz, was given as a gift of gratitude to the Heroes of Khalis, specifically Heyvis Trockz, Valo Sindar, and Ghaa Tabbak. He eventually became a close friend to the group, becoming a good navigator aboard the *Shadow's Scepter* with Cara and Chalkurra. He was also used to help study and operate the command center inside Fort Sindar, also storing the information for the Roalia Defense Force.

### **Serving the Resistance**

R2-D7 spent the later years of his existence working for the Resistance at the starfighter base located on Wul'ur V, a remote jungle world in the Mid Rim.

### **Joining the Team**

When the three Resistance agents Jason Sarkin, Koren Forsec, and Jarux Sental arrived at the Resistance's small starfighter outpost on Wul'ur V, R2-D7 was assigned to Koren Forsec's first T-70 X-wing starfighter as the mechanic and co-pilot, serving well in his capacity during the Raid at Arkanis IX, working on the ship diagnostics and mechanical features so Koren could focus on supporting his squadron in destroying the fuel depot. He also later travelled to Tatooine with Koren and the others to rebuild three B-wing starfighters and transport them to the Resistance, as well as going back to the desert world to help the locals overthrow the yoke of the First Order.

### **Adventure Awaits**

Several days into their mission on Tatooine, the Resistance agents and their allies found themselves under attack by the First Order. When R2-D7 and Koren raced to their X-wing, which was resting in one of the spaceport's docking bays, they watched it be destroyed by a passing TIE fighter. After narrowly escaping Tatooine with the help of and embittered Ryko Selerra and Rahvin Dovar, Artoo and the other Resistance agents were brought aboard the *Sovereignty*, the personal battlecruiser of Baron Demarcis. R2-D7 helped Koren, Jason, and Jarux, as well as 3BB-3 in smuggling a series of jury-rigged seismic charges through the interior of the Star Destroyer, eventually setting off the charges near the reactor of the massive ship, causing it to implode. Artoo and the other Resistance fighters narrowly escaped aboard Selerra's starship, meeting with General Organa aboard the *Millennium Falcon* in deep space and learning of their next mission, as well as becoming a full member of the formally-named Storm Cell.

### **Fighting the War**

For the next several weeks R2-D7 would serve with distinction as a faithful companion and member of Storm Cell alongside 3BB-3. Making a fantastic team, the two astromech droids formed a strong friendship through combat, as well as creating great forms of compassion for their fellow sentient comrades, who they saw as friends. He also proved himself to be a fantastic co-pilot and mechanic aboard Koren Forsec's second T-70 X-wing *Storm One*, saving his life many times.
