Description

Designed before the compact R2 line, the R1 carries substantial computing capacity and durable shipboard tools in a tall cylindrical chassis. Its size limits starfighter use, but makes it suitable for warships, stations, yards, navigation centers, and older vessels built around full-height astromech interfaces.
