The R6-series astromech droid was the sixth astromech droid model made by Industrial Automaton under their R-series of droids.
Released soon after the Battle of Endor, the R6 was IA's attempt at repairing their own reputation after the tremendous failure their R5 series was. To prove that each new series beyond their famous R2 series would not be inferior the designers of the R6 took their time in working out every problem and glitch that plagued the previous model. After years in planning, IA released the R6 model with obvious intent to try and recapture the hearts of their consumers.

If Edge of the Empire goes on long enough, Kari's going to buy one.

Do you have any idea as to what this droid's designation is going to be, if and when it shows up?

Jade's gonna throw a hissy fit (inasmuch as an R2 can throw a hissy fit) about that. Nickname suggestions?

Well, being brand new, I figure Kari can give the droid a nickname.

Okay, then I guess we'll have to wait until he does show up, assuming the RP can keep going that long.

Well, we can call the current RP Chapter 1. So when it does end, we start the next, still involving the same characters.

Do we want to start Chapter 2 after a timeskip to ESB? We'll still be on Onderon, but Kari will have moved out of the Rebel base and into her own place in Iziz.

Sounds like a good idea. Maybe Daxx and Tevan got hitched sometime between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back. I see Tevan taking Daxx' last name.
