R1-series astromech droid

The R1-series astromech droid, also known as the R1 reactor drone, was a model of R-series astromech droid manufactured by Industrial Automaton.

A part of the R-series of astromech droids manufactured by Industrial Automaton, the R1-series astromech droid, also known as the R1 reactor drone, was tall compared to later R-units, standing 1.94 meters in height. It moved slowly on a single foot and some, though not all, featured a long antenna atop their dome. R1 units had a single red photoreceptor and black, blue, or gray plating. They were so large that they could only be used on the biggest of starships. R1 units were the first droids to be able to communicate in droidspeak, though they were far less personable than later R-units. They were equipped with a pair of arms tipped with manipulators and a holoprojector.
