'''R5-D2''' was [[Wedge Antilles/Legends|Wedge Antilles's]] [[Astromech droid/Legends|astromech droid]] after he reformed [[Rogue Squadron/Legends|Rogue Squadron]]. It was called '''"Mynock"''' because of how noisily it whistled. Prior to the [[Battle of Thyferra]], Wedge became so irritated with the droid's shrill cry that he had its [[Memory wipe/Legends|memory wiped]]. [[Zraii]] took this opportunity to upgrade the droid's internal components as well, resulting in its new designation and nickname: '''R5-G8''', or '''"Gate"'''. As Gate, the astromech had a very dispassionate demeanor.<br />
<br />
During Isard's return, Gate and fellow Rogue astromech, [[Whistler]], bravely escaped to get word of the squadron's status to [[Mirax Terrik Horn|Mirax Terrik]] and the [[New Republic/Legends|New Republic]].<br />
