R2-Q5 was an R2-series astromech droid produced by Industrial Automaton. R2-Q5 had black coverings highlighted by red access panels. R2-Q5 was a well-equipped droid, with tools for repairing starships and special, hidden spy devices. Working for Imperial Intelligence, he was one of the few beings aware of IG-88A's infiltration of the Death Star. Like all Imperial droids, R2-Q5 has a memory inhibitor to protect it from developing a personality. 

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 probably never made it. R2-Q5 was destroyed in the explosion of the second Death Star.
