Currently assigned to Rogue Five, 1st Lieutenant Nick "Jasted" Finelli. History:
R2-EX�s past is shady
and for the most part unknown. This particular droid was captured with a dozen
or so other astromechs in an Imperial convoy traveling through the Corva sector
in the Outer Rim. These R2 units were sent to the Alliance Research and
Development center where they were "rehabilitated". After a full memory wipe and
probe for Imperial bugs, the droids were reprogrammed, tested and shipped out to
several Alliance Squadrons. R2-EX found his way onboard the CRS Liberty and was
quickly assigned to Lieutenant Finelli, whose previous droid, "Zero", was
destroyed in the campaign "Operation Harvest". Always striving to
improve his programming, he is most commonly found in the hanger near his
fighter assignment, making sure everything is operational and in perfect working
order. R2-EX was dubbed the name "Rex" because of the likeness he has to a
dog. Very loyal, playful and protective. Finelli try�s to keep his distance
from the droid, and ignores its existence most of the time, besides in the
cockpit. Lieutenant Finelli has been caught abusing (kicking) R2-EX for
following him through the Liberty's corridors and has been reprimanded twice.
Still, with all the abuse Rex continues to work hard on gaining his partners
trust and friendship and does so by watching Finelli's six in the X-wing fighter
to the best of his ability. |
Currently unassigned. History:
"Dale" is one of the more
experienced astromechs in the Alliance. His career began in Black Squadron,
flying with them until the squad was decommissioned by Star-Fighter command.
Instead of being transferred with his designated pilot, the Alliance moved
R2-E3 to the CRS Independence where he was assigned to fly with trainees. The
Independence was a home to Dale for 2 years, the young pilots that flew with
him became some of the most talented pilots in the Alliance because of the
suggestions he often relayed to them inside the fighter. On numerous occasions
graduates often put in requests to have R2-E3 assigned to them permanently as
they were transferred out of the Independence and into the Galactic War, but
were denied. Eventually the Alliance realized it would be wise to move a
special R2 unit like Dale to a squadron that could use his technical and
tactical experience, so he was transferred to the CRS Liberty.
Renegade Wing Command Staff put
Dale to work upon his arrival as shot gun to Buccaneer Nine. He flew with his
pilot assignment for a half year until a fatal bombing run broke up their
partnership. Hyl was able to recover Dale from the wreckage along with the
body of the fallen Bucc. Damage was minimum to the R2 but the loss of a pilot
was a new experience for him, the effects seemed so noticeable to the Droid
Support Technicians that they informed the Command Staff, who put Dale on "sick
leave" until the Technicians indicated a normalisation of Dale's operating
parameters. R2-E3 has recently returned to active duty but has not yet been
assigned a Squadron or pilot.
