Capsule: The P2 is an early precursor to the R2 astromech droid. P2s are very similar to R2s, except they are much larger. P2s have very simple minds, and are very subservient. They are awkward, and tend to bump into things.
P2s can only communicate through their video screens or their input jacks.

Story Factors:
Outdated: The R1 is fairly old, yet is available throughout the galaxy second-hand - few brand new ones are available. They are often modified, and are commonly mistaken for Mark II reactor drones.
Move: 2

Cost: 3,000 (used)
Capsule: R1s are large astromech droids designed for use in capital warships or large space transports. They use the body shell of the Mark II reactor droid, and are armoured to withstand radiation. The droids are not very mobile. These droids talk in beeps and whistles, and if given time to develop a personality can become quite recalcitrant.

Capsule: The R2 is easily the most successful astromech droid ever manufactured. It has spawned many variants across the galaxy. It can hold up to 10 hyperspace jump coordinates in RAM. This versatile droid has many features including a sensor package, an electro probe and even a 3-year warranty. Of the early droids in the R-series, the R2 is the only one Industrial Automaton still produces on a galactic scale.

Capsule: The R3 served on many Old Republic capital warships, and has seen service on Imperial ships, privateer vessels, and Rebel starships that stock up on stolen Imperial goods. Purchase of the R3 was restricted to government military agencies. Since the rise of the New Republic, Industrial Automaton has begun selling to planetary governments and private fleets. To maintain friendly relations with the New Republic, Industrial Automaton's policy restricts it from knowingly selling to the Empire or known Imperial factions.
The R3 is capable of storing up to five hyperspace jump coordinates in RAM.

Capsule: The R4 astromech was designed specifically for the young urban crowd, and was marketed as a space transports and repulsorlift maintenance unit. This droid is popular among Rebel and privateer groups, although it can only hold one hyperspace jump coordinate in RAM.

Capsule: The R5 was the cheapest of the R-unit series manufactured by Industrial Automaton. The line was quickly discontinued due to poor quality and poor sales. It was also a failure as a useful astromech droid, as it only held one set of hyperspace coordinates in RAM. R5s can be found throughout the Outer Rim Territories - they break down easily, and are often up for sale.

Capsule: The R6 was the first astromech droid sold by Industrial Automaton after the fall of the Empire. It was built to redeem Industrial Automaton's image after the failure of the R5, and priced to sell in the turbulent economy of the New Republic. Its most impressive feature was the 12-jump memory capacity in RAM. The droid sold very well, until the rise of Grand Admiral Thrawn and the return of the struggle between the Empire and the Republic.

Capsule: The R7 is a dedicated astromech droid designed exclusively for use with the E-Wing starfighter. Civilians cannot legally purchase R7s, and they are somewhat limited in their abilities interfacing with craft other than the FreiTek E-Wing. The R7 can hold 15 jump coordinates in RAM.
