R8-M3

R8-M3 was a R8 series astromech droid built sometime prior to 4 BBY in built by and in use by Calvara's cell, The astromech was custom built by Calvara solely for the purpose of helping run The Egathon Dalor but was repurposed and assigned to Rebel Lieutenant Evo and Jedi Padawan Reina. The droid served loyally and seeked to motivate Reina to achieve her goals through use of screeching in high pitched static to the opposite effect, although he was ultimately destroyed by Commander Shard and his Kyber Troopers on Ilum in 0 BBY during the trio's mission there.

R8 was later rebuilt and continued to serve with Evo and Valka, later joining them in their journey into the unknown regions looking for Reina.
