"This is my first time commanding a squadron, Arseven. Let's make a good impression."

―Ahsoka Tano^[2]

R7-A7, also known as Arseven, was Ahsoka Tano's yellow-green, red, and white masculine-programmed astromech droid during the Clone Wars.

Biography

R7-A7, also known as Arseven, was a masculine-programmed astromech droid who served with Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano during the Clone Wars. He served as co-pilot of her Delta-7B Aethersprite-class light interceptor in the Battle of Ryloth, flying with her on a mission to take out the Separatist blockade surrounding Ryloth. He was present when she disobeyed orders to retreat after Separatist reinforcements arrived and lost most of her squadron.^[2]

After the Resolute and Defender retreated, Anakin Skywalker came up with a plan to pilot the heavily damaged Defender into the Confederacy's flagship, while Tano and her squad of BTL-B Y-wing starfighters took out the remaining enemy frigates. Tano was still shaken from her earlier failure, but received support from Admiral Wullf Yularen and led the counterattack. Arseven flew with Tano in her Y-wing. The attack was successful, and the Republic forces prepared to invade Ryloth and liberate the captive Twi'lek inhabitants from Techno Union leader Wat Tambor.

The droid also co-piloted her Eta-2 Actis-class interceptor during the Defense of Cato Neimoidia.
