R2-T741

R2-T741, also known by his nickname 'R-T' or 'Artie', was an R2-series astromech droid owned by the Mandalorian warrior Naastau. The grey- and black-colored droid was acquired by Naastau after he stole it during a raid on a rival Mandalorian camp in the Great Clan Wars (circa 32 BBY), after which point he modified the droid with various enhancements including an improved processor, droid computer, starship navigational capabilities, as well as a T-shaped sensor to signify his history with the Mandalorians. Other enhancements made to Artie included various retractable grabber claws, a squad shield generator, a detachable (and remote control) computer interface arm, repulsorlift generators in his 'legs', and an integrated light repeating blaster cannon. When not participating in Naastau's operations on land or aboard hostile starships, Artie remained aboard his master's ship where he assisted pilot droids in the cockpit with navigation, hyperspace coordination, and the operation of the ship's many other systems including its weapons and complex transmission systems. Apart from his duty of overseeing the mobility and weaponry of his master's ship, Artie was also remotely linked to nearly a dozen repair droids running along small tunnels in the ship's hull that constantly monitored the ship's hardware, most of which equipped to make minor repairs when necessary. Naastau also had a secondary droid brain installed in one of his wrist gaunts which Artie was connected to, linking the droid to an interface on the gaunt which allowed Artie to operate Naastau's communication systems, heads-up display, and a screen on one of his gaunts which could display an information database or a pixelated local map on command, which proved very helpful in his master's missions.
