M2-D8

M2-D8 was an astromech droid originally built to operate in collapsed mining tunnels. However, the droid eventually fell into the hands of a clever but malicious mechanic who re-equipped it for combat.

Several months into the Iron Blockade, the Galactic Empire's attempt to prevent the Anoat sector's populace from learning of the crushing Imperial defeat at the hands of the Alliance to Restore the Republic in the Battle of Endor, M2-D8 joined the crew of a young smuggler, who dispatched the droid on a variety of missions throughout the sector.
