The R3-series Astromech Droid is a successor to the popular line of R2 astromech droids with faster processing abilities designed to fit in the droid socket of any starfighter. It is commonly designed with a domed or tapered code head, with a cylindrical core in addition to a base, retractable tread leg and two main legs. It has multiple appendages and attachments within its compartments, such as shock prods, welding torches, and is equipped with a holoprojector and a periscope that has a probe function which is usable in space.
R3-series Astromech Droid has had every external component painted black as night, with attempts to minimize the brightness of external lights and features. This allows this R3-series Astromech Droid to more easily blend into the shadows and darkness unseen.
R3-series Astromech Droid has had its sensor suites upgraded to significantly increase their range and sensitivity, allowing this R3-series Astromech Droid to collect and record a wide range of data during scouting operations. These sensors are far more sensitive to jamming interferance and are more prone to damage.
R3-series Astromech Droid has developed a quirked personality, granting it an inclination towards heavy doses of sarcasm when engaged in dialogue. As a result, R3-series Astromech Droid comes across as having issues taking direction and developed a reputation for 'snark'.
