B5-R4

"No, we're not here for drinks. We have business with Garsa Fwip."

―Fennec Shand, to the droid^[2]

B5-R4^[3] was an R4 astromech droid who worked for Garsa Fwip at her cantina, the Sanctuary, on the planet Tatooine, serving drinks for patrons during the New Republic Era.^[2] In 9 ABY,^[1] the droid was present in the establishment and offered^[2] the newcomers,^[4] recent Daimyo of Tatooine Boba Fett and Master Assassin Fennec Shand, drinks from their tray harness. Shand informed the droid they did not need beverages and had business with the owner, Fwip, leaving B5-R4 to respond before rolling away.^[2]Sometime later,^[1] the droid observed the Wookiee^[5] bounty hunter^[6] Krrsantan engage in a brawl with several Trandoshan gamblers in the Sanctuary, leaving Fwip to attempt to calm the hostile Krrsantan, which ended poorly for one of the Trandoshans who had^[5] his^[7] arm severed.^[5]

Later on, the droid continued to display drinks for patrons and rolled around the Sanctuary when two Pyke Syndicate members entered the cantina before^[8] swiftly^[9] exiting shortly thereafter, leaving behind a camtono on a table. A server droid attempted to call towards the Pykes to alert them of their lost item, which exploded moments after, killing all present in the Sanctuary including B5-R4.^[8] The droid had green and black plating along with black photoreceptors and wore a drink tray harness while inside the Sanctuary.^[2]
