R4-X4

R4-X4 is an R4-series astromech droid and Phillip Stargazer's astromech during the Rebellion Era (0 BBY - 5 ABY). He is painted black with red trim, and has been upgraded with a laser beam, a mini grabber claw and various other tools. For a brief time, R4-X4 was playing a pretend role of an Imperial astromech after being sent onboard the Death Star II by Peridot Squadron. He now resides at the Peridot Squadron base on Kamino.

History
R4-X4 was built in one of the many Industrial Automaton factories in 1 ABY. He was built with an enthusiastic and brave demeanour. In 2 ABY, he was bought by Phillip Stargazer, who made him a member of Peridot Squadron. In 4 ABY, Phillip started using his new astromech droid, R6-S8, more often than he used R4, but he still used him every now and again. Just three weeks after R6-S8 was bought by Phillip, R4 was sent onboard the DS-2 Orbital Battle Station (the technical name for the Death Star II) to pose as an Imperial astromech while sending information to the Rebel Alliance. When the DS-2 was about to be destroyed, R4 escaped onboard an Imperial Shuttle, and in 5 ABY, he served as a temporary replacement for R6-S8 when S8 was damaged beyond repair, but until Phillip's new astromech that he ordered, R7-V3, arrived. R4 was then sent to the Kamino Base to stay there for a while, but he will go on more missions soon...
