Background: R2-R9 was an R2 series astromech droid that served the Royal House of the planet Naboo during the Invasion of Naboo by the Trade Federation in the year 32 BBY. It served aboard the Naboo Royal Starship when Queen Padmé Amidala used the vessel to flee from the besieged planet. When the starship took damage from Trade Federation fire, R2-R9 and several other astromech droids traveled to the ship’s exterior to try and repair damage to the shield generator. However, R2-R9 was struck by enemy fire and destroyed while trying to carry out repairs.
