A2-D6

A2-D6 was a pilot droid that served the Galactic Republic's Republic Defense Coalition during the High Republic Era. When the Republic and the Jedi Order attempted to breach the Stormwall hyperspace barrier that surrounded the Nihil marauders' Occlusion Zone territory, A2-D6 served as a sacrificial droid pilot. Its memory backed up and transferred into a replacement housing, A2-D6 piloted the Longbeam cruiser Outpath to test the breach created in the Stormwall. Although the Outpath successfully made it across the barrier, the Stormwall repaired itself shortly afterward, and several Republic and Jedi vessels that attempted to follow were destroyed.
