R2-Q5 was an R2-series astromech droid produced by Industrial Automaton. R2-Q5 had black coverings highlighted by bronze access panels. R2-Q5 was a well-equipped droid, with tools for repairing starships and special, hidden spy devices. He was also one of the few beings aware of IG-88A's infiltration of the Death Star.
During the latter stages of the Galactic Civil War, R2-Q5 was assigned to the second Death Star above the Moon of Endor. When a Rebel attack destroyed corridors in the second Death Star, an R4 droid carrying a vital message was immobilized. R2-Q5 had to download the data from the downed droid and deliver it to the Emperor. He was destroyed in the explosion of the second Death Star.

Behind the scenes
Edit
His name is incorrectly written as R2-D5 in the #6211 Lego Imperial Star Destroyer set.
In Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, R2-Q5 can be spawned by typing "npc spawn R2D2_imp".
In LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga, R2-Q5 can be unlocked for purchase by entering the code "EVILR2". This code could suggest that some might think of R2-Q5 as an evil version of R2-D2. During gameplay, R2-Q5 has identical abilities to other R2 units in the game, but his droidspeak is different. Also, R2-Q5's attitude jets emit red efflux rather than blue.
In Star Wars: Empire at War and Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption, R2-Q5 is the Help Droid and Encyclopedia display for the Galactic Empire.
