R2-M5 was a red R2-series astromech droid produced by Industrial Automaton that served the Royal Naboo Security Forces. He was one of the astromech droids aboard the Queen's starship as of 32 BBY. When a Trade Federation battleship opened fire on the Naboo Royal Starship, R2-M5 went out, along with R2-N3 and other astromech droids, to fix an imbalance in the starboard engines. Both droids were blasted off the hull.[1]

Behind the scenes

Various sources indicate the six droids onboard the Royal Starship were R2-D2, R2-B1, R2-R9, R2-N3, G8-R3, and R2-M5.[2] A single source, a "Set Piece" article in Star Wars Insider 94, replaces the name of R2-M5 with R2-D1. This is likely a contradicted alternate name for the same droid.[3]
