R2-L6

R2-L6 was a red R2-series Astromech droid.

Early History
R2-L6 was constructed in 25 BBY on the planet Kessel. After two years spent in the mines of the planet, he was shipped out to Coruscant to be a railcar maitenance worker. Years later, while fusing two sections of damaged rail together, an electrical accident shorted out the unit and rendered it useless to the amatuer mechanics. He was dropped off in a local recycling plant and shipped to a distant scrap yard on Tatooine.

Companionship with Mercke Lutso
In about 3 BBY, R2-L6 was found and purchased by Mercke Lutso who, using his mechanical skills, sucessfully ressurected the droid. He then took on the droid as his own and the two shared a bond for many years to come (so many years, in fact, that they reamained together until Lutso's death in 28 ABY).

A New Master
After Mercke's death, R2-L6 entered a hibernation for approximately 35 standard years. When a young man stumbled across Lutso's mansion in 61 ABY, he found the powered down droid, plugged into the main communications console. He rebooted the unit and took him as his own.

R2-L6 followed the man across the Galaxy as his counterpart, therefore beginning his second generation of human service.
