Description
R2-Q5 was an R2-series astromech droid produced by Industrial Automaton and working for the Galactic Empire. R2-Q5 had black coverings highlighted by bronze access panels, and was a well-equipped droid with tools for repairing starships and special, hidden spy devices. The droid also possessed a hidden blaster cannon under one of its dome flaps.

R2-Q5 was charged with storing the Emperor's plans against the Rebel Alliance within its memory bank as well as being personally responsible for programming hyperspace co-ordinates directly into Emperor Palpatine's shuttle during covert missions
In the year 2 BBY, R2-Q5 was present in the Vapor Room bar on Bespin, where the droid was caught in a firefight between Imperial troops and Galen Marek, who had traveled to Bespin to find Jedi General Rahm Kota, on the order of Senator Bail Organa.

R2-Q5 also became aware of IG-88A's infiltration of the Death Star II and subsequent plan to reprogram every Imperial droid to follow his commands. The droid took it upon itself to prevent IG-88A's plans. It was also present during Darth Vader's unexpected arrival at the station to pressure Moff Tiaan Jerjerrod with finishing the weapons systems of the station prior to the Emperor's inspection of the station, and was also present among the other droids when Emperor Palpatine's shuttle arrived at the Death Star's Hangar 272 shortly afterward.

A subsequent Rebel attack destroyed corridors in the second Death Star, resulting in the immobilization of R4-I9 that was carrying a vital message for the Emperor. R2-Q5 was forced to download the data from the R4 and deliver it personally. Whether the droid fulfilled the mission, prior to the Emperor's death, is unknown.
