Description

R4 units interface with vehicle controls, navigation systems, hyperdrive support equipment, and maintenance diagnostics. Their standardized tool compartments and compact chassis permit service aboard small craft and within crowded repair facilities. Imperial units use them for preflight work, target and route analysis, vehicle servicing, and technical liaison between crews and maintenance sections.
