R4-P astromech droid

The R4-P astromech droid was a truncated Industrial Automaton R4-series astromech droid incorporated into the Delta-7 Aethersprite-class light interceptors of the Jedi Order, which had fuselages too slim to house full-sized astromech droids.

Based upon Anakin Skywalker's alterations to R4-P17, they were modified by Kuat Systems Engineering to feature the dome of an R2-series astromech droid in place of the conical head of an R4 unit, creating what was essentially a hybrid of the two models.

As a result, the R4-P could store up to ten sets of hyperspace jump coordinates in its memory, rather than the single jump of a standard R4 unit. When the Delta-7B Aethersprite-class light interceptor gained popularity, many R4-Ps were retrofitted with standard-sized astromech bodies.
