R5-K6 was the astromech droid for Red Leader, Garven Dreis, during the assault on the first Death Star at the Battle of Yavin. He previously served at the Dantooine Rebel base. He was destroyed along with Dreis's X-wing.

Behind the scenesEdit

Like many other unidentified astromech droids, R5-K6 was often given a fanon designation. However, one such name was made canon with a preview of a set of new Hasbro figures.

R5-K6 can be seen in his droid socket in scenes filmed from the cockpit of Garven Dreis' X-wing, as well as behind Luke Skywalker in the briefing room scene.
