Background: R2-BHD was an R2 series astromech droid that served the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the reign of the Galactic Empire. R2-BHD was a loyal and attentive droid, and the grouchy personality of other droids, such as D4-R4B, was found to be illogical. It had silver-colored plates with yellow accents that were unadorned, which made it look unfinished. It had black sensors. By the year 0 BBY, the droid had served the Alliance for years and was assigned to the Alliance Fleet’s Gold Squadron, and rotated through the squadron’s pilots, mostly commonly being assigned to Gold Leader Jon Vander and his Y-wing starfighter Gold One. R2-BHD also was responsible for performing diagnostics to keep the squadron’s Y-wing starfighters ready for battle.
R2-BHD was present in a hangar in the Great Temple on Yavin 4 when the Rebel Alliance Intelligence Service officer Cassian Jeron Andor led the newly recruited Jyn Erso through it en route to a UT-60D U-wing starfighter/support craft outside the temple that the pair would fly to the planet Jedha. Shortly afterward, Gold Squadron took part in a battle against the Empire above the planet Scarif. R2-BHD later flew with Vander against the Empire at the Battle of Yavin, where Darth Vader shot them down.
