The R4 astromech droid was a model of R-series astromech droid manufactured by Industrial Automaton.[2] It was identical in appearance to the R2 series astromech droid, except that its dome was conical instead of hemispherical. The official Press Corps of the Galactic Empire used repurposed R4 units as courier droids, as a means to physically transport data.[1] The R4-P Astromech was a modified model of the R4.[9]
