R7-C4 is a heavily modified R3 series astromech droid originally purchased and owned by the Pirate Lord Sindear Reliacon, sometime before 32 BBY the Jedi raided Sindear's flagship and arrested the pirate, with R7 falling into the hands of the order and eventually being assigned to Sindear's son as his astromech.

R7 fought alongside Egathon Dalor and his clone friends, Chase and Ainos throughout the Clone Wars, often providing valuable assistance to Enigma Battalion. When Order 66 was issued R7 continued to serve Ainos in the Empire before the Clone was reassigned to Coruscant, during which time he remained onboard the Kaiwhai and served Angle Squadron.

During the events of Enigma Battalion: Order R7 came into the ownership of Jade Cartala at the request of his old master, Egathon. While the Astromech served well his loyalty was ultimately not to her and he deserted to join Egathon and his son Bragon in the Rebellion. After Egathon's death R7 came under the ownership of Bragon Dalor and then Reyanna Rist, who he served as a loyal Astromech up until the Battle of Endor, after which he followed her to Traitors Remorse and became part of the outpost staff.

## Description

R7 was a R3 series Astromech modified so far beyond standard that even organizations like the Jedi Order and Galactic Empire were unable to wipe his memory. During the Clone Wars the Astromech sported a White, Blue and Bronze paintjob that was later changed to a fully Black with Bronze striped paintjob under the Empire. After 3 BBY R7's colour scheme was changed to white with Black and Green stripes.

Appearance wise R7 was unable to be attributed to the R2, R3, R4 or R5 series and so was designated R7, either by coincidence or correlation, the later released R7 series was visually similar.

### Known Features

R7 even though heavily modified, still retained most of the R3 series' base model features and systems, these included the following:

* An electromagnetic field sensor unit
* A holographic projector unit
* Intellex V military Computer allowed R7 to quickly make calculations and run his operations
* A heuristic processor allowed R7 to learn and develop his skills over time
* Atleast 2 Spacecraft linkage arms, allowing R7 to repair ships, calculate jumps and even fly.
* A Spacecraft linkage data slot
* A retractable grasping arm, later mods allowed R7 to conceal and wield a small handheld blaster with this arm
* Computer Inferface, Lubricant and Charge arms
* Integrated recharge and high power couplings
* Polarity sinks for venting excess magnetism
* Infrared sensors allow R7 to see in the dark
* A integrated loudspeaker
* An electric arc welder
* A miniature circular saw
* A Fire extinguisher
* An Electroshock probe
* An internal commlink
* Internal storage space of two kilograms

R7 underwent several modifications under it's owners, with Sindear modifying it with an opaque dome and upgrading his photoreceptor unit, allowing him to also see into the Ultraviolet spectrum. Additional equipment cannibalized from R2 units like a periscope were implemented, followed by the Jedi upgrading him with new comms units and Republic database access codes. Following his acquisition by Egathon the droids saw was upgraded and swapped for a buzz saw pulled from a pistoeka unit alongside a concealed DC-17 Sidearm, A blowtorch modified for longer reach, an upgrade to his arc welder that increased it's range from 0.3 to 0.5 metres and additional grasping arms for multitasking. The Empire, unable to work through the mess that was R7s interior opted for an additional upgrades of a backup loyalty protocol rather then the hassle of wiping all the computers and losing valuable data, this upgrade was dubbed protocol 23 and was a voice activated command that overrode the droids free will, forcing it to obey it's owners command, it was used by Rist at the first battle of Terra Sanui to escape to the Empire before being later cut free by R7 from himself in 3 ABY.

## Biography

### Enigma Battalion: Order

#### Serving Rist

Following the battle of Endor, R7 joined Rist and Saro in overlooking a lake on Endor as they contemplated, the droid thought on all the conflicts he'd fought and governments he'd served alongside the friends he'd lost along the way, deciding to stick with Rist as she was Ainos' unofficial heir. The droid lamented to himself that it was his own choice who he served and fought with and that no outside force would ever control him again.

The droid followed Rist to traitors remorse several months after Endor, piloting the Albanius and waving a goodbye to her as she went to get acquainted, where unknowingly to R7, Falon Tarr managed to disguise himself as a logistics officer and acquire information from Rist as to the location of Bragon Dalor using a collection of Ainos' old effects left behind by his well to bait her in. R7 later joined the staff of traitors remorse, working to help Rist in her rehabilitation and watch over her.

### Enigma Battalion: Harmony

#### Epilogue

After the destruction of the Heart of Kyber, R7 and Rist travelled with Faya Saro, Maren Stawn and C1-9A aboard the Albanius on a supply mission. shortly into the trip they were interrupted by the sudden appearance of Pli'a, who R7 percieved as an intruder and proceeded to throw around before he was stopped by Saro. shortly after Tesha too appeared, both of the pilots rejoining the remaining members of Blaze Squadron for their mission.
