'''R2-Q5''' was an [[R2-series astromech droid|R2-series]] [[Astromech droid/Legends|astromech droid]] produced by [[Industrial Automaton/Legends|Industrial Automaton]] and working for the [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Galactic Empire]]. R2-Q5 had [[Color/Legends|black]] coverings highlighted by bronze access panels, and was a well-equipped droid with tools for repairing [[Starship/Legends|starships]] and special, hidden [[Spy/Legends|spy]] devices. The droid also possessed a hidden [[Blaster cannon/Legends|blaster cannon]] under one of its dome flaps.<ref name="CharEnc" />

R2-Q5 was charged with storing the Emperor's plans against the [[Alliance to Restore the Republic/Legends|Rebel Alliance]] within its [[Memory core|memory bank]] as well as being personally responsible for programming [[Hyperspace/Legends|hyperspace]] co-ordinates directly into [[Emperor Palpatine's shuttle/Legends|Emperor Palpatine's shuttle]] during covert missions.<ref name="PotJR2-Q5" />

==Biography==
[[File:R-2Q5.jpg|left|thumb|200px|R2-Q5 on board the second Death Star]]
In the [[Standard year/Legends|year]] [[2 BBY/Legends|2 BBY]], R2-Q5 was present in the [[Vapor Room]] bar on [[Bespin/Legends|Bespin]], where the [[Droid/Legends|droid]] was caught in a [[Lightfight|firefight]] between [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Imperial]] [[Stormtrooper/Legends|troops]] and [[Galen Marek]], who had traveled to Bespin to find [[Jedi General/Legends|Jedi General]] [[Rahm Kota]], on the order of [[Senator/Legends|Senator]] [[Bail Prestor Organa|Bail Organa]].<ref name="TFU">''[[Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (video game)|Star Wars: The Force Unleashed]]''</ref>

R2-Q5 also became aware of [[IG-88A]]'s infiltration of the [[Death Star II/Legends|Death Star II]] and subsequent plan to reprogram every Imperial droid to follow his commands. The droid took it upon itself to prevent IG-88A's plans.<ref name="PotJR2-Q5" /> It was also present during [[Anakin Skywalker/Legends|Darth Vader's]] unexpected arrival at the station to pressure [[Moff/Legends|Moff]] [[Tiaan Jerjerrod/Legends|Tiaan Jerjerrod]] with finishing the weapons systems of the station prior to the Emperor's inspection of the station, and was also present among the other droids when [[Galactic Emperor/Legends|Emperor]] [[Palpatine/Legends|Palpatine's]] [[Emperor Palpatine's shuttle/Legends|shuttle]] arrived at the Death Star's [[Hangar 272]] shortly afterward.<ref name="ROTJ">[[Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi|''Star Wars'': Episode VI ''Return of the Jedi'']]</ref>

A subsequent Rebel attack destroyed corridors in the second Death Star, resulting in the immobilization of [[R4-I9]] that was carrying a vital message for the Emperor. R2-Q5 was forced to download the data from the R4 and deliver it personally.<ref name="PotJR2-Q5" /> Whether the droid fulfilled the mission, prior to the Emperor's death, is unknown.

==Behind the scenes==
R2-Q5 is picture is shown labeled as [[R2-Q2 (Imperial)|R2-Q2]], and listed as an ally of IG-88 in the ''Jedi Force File'' included with the year 2000 release of Hasbro's ''[[Star Wars: Power of the Jedi]]'' [[IG-88B|IG-88]] figure.<ref name="PotJIG-88">{{HasbroCite|set=Star Wars: Power of the Jedi|pack=IG-88 (Bounty Hunter)|link=potjig88.asp}} {{C|Jedi Force File}} {{Po}} {{C|as R2-Q2}}</ref>

R2-Q5's name is incorrectly written as R2-D5 in the #6211 Lego Imperial Star, Destroyer set.

In ''[[Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast]]'', R2-Q5 can be spawned by typing "npc spawn R2D2_imp".

R2-Q5 is an unlockable minikit character in the GBA release of ''Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy'', but only the GBA version.

In ''[[LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga]]'', R2-Q5 can be unlocked for purchase by entering the code "EVILR2", but he also becomes available after completing every level in the game. During gameplay, R2-Q5 has identical abilities to other astromechs in the game, but his [[Binary/Legends|droidspeak]] is different, and the droid's attitude jets emit red efflux rather than blue.

In ''[[Star Wars: Empire at War]]'' and ''[[Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption]]'', R2-Q5 is part of the Help Droid and Encyclopedia display for the [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Galactic Empire]].
