Background: The NR-5 Series Repair Droid, also known as the NR-5 maintenance droid or Imperial maintenance droid, was a knockoff of Cybot Galactica’s WED Treadwell repair droid manufactured by Kalibac Industries during the Galactic Civil War. Despite heavy accusations of stealing the WED’s design, it proved hugely popular with technicians and freighter captains alike and was more reliable, if more expensive, than its competitor, even seeing use in the Imperial Navy. However, sales of the NR-5 dropped considerably when Industrial Automaton introduced its R4-series astromech droid, though the NR-5 generally did a better job than the R4 in the clean environments of starships and many remained in use well into the New Jedi Order era.
