R2-KT

R2-KT, nicknamed Katie, was an astromech droid owned by the Dark Marauder Chonn Mechonn as a personal pet.

Name
As with many droids, R2-KT is pronounced as though the two letters were in a language other than Aurebesh, being pronounced ARE-TWO KAY-TEE.

Biography
Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, R2-KT was built on a Neshtab droid factory, along with several Stormtrooper droids. Although the factory was, years later, destroyed by Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader predicted the sabotage through the Force, and quickly sent R2-KT away to Korriban.

On Korriban
R2-KT was, mostly, left without a master on Korriban, although she did attempt to find someone to take her, to no avail. When the Dark Marauders were formed, Chonn Mechonn realized that R2-KT would be a suitable companion, as he already took an interest in droids and mechanics. R2-KT accompanied Mechonn wherever he went, until Mechonn, with the rest of the Dark Marauders, was killed by Thomas Goldbee. Shortly after killing Mechonn, Goldbee dismembered R2-KT with a sweep of his lightsaber.

New life
Many years after her destruction, R2-KT was discovered by spacefaring Jawas, who managed to sell her back to her manufunctuer as 'junk.' Realizing that this junk was really a droid, R2-KT was repaired and converted into an R8-series astromech droid. Renumbered R8-KT, she was sold to a homestead on Halm.

Behind the Scenes
R2-KT was inspired by a fan-made droid of the same name. This page was created by Greivous the Champion, to work her into his fanon continuity.
