R5-S9 was an R5-series astromech droid that worked for the Galactic Senate during the Clone Wars.
History
During the Senate hostage crisis in 22 BBY, R5-S9 was working at the Republic Executive Building in the power control room when Cad Bane's posse entered the room. It was destroyed by one of Bane's IG-86 sentinel droids.
Behind the scenes
In subsequent episodes, other R5-series droids were seen with the same blue and white markings. A toy of R5-S9 was released by Disney in 2017 as part of the Star Wars: Droid Factory set. However, the toy had a light blue dome, while in the animated series R5-S9's dome appeared to be white.
