History

R4-XL, more commonly known by his nickname WarHog is the assigned droid and companion of Mia StormChaser, and serves most notably on StormChaser’s X-Wing, WildCard Two.

Originally supplied to the ISD II Redemption when the ship was still in Imperial hands, R4 contrary to his original programming began to despise his cruel autocratic masters. Despite the threat of permanent deactivation, R4-XL began to perform his duties below par where possible, until finally was stored as a deficient unit and marked for disposal.

Luckily for R4 shortly before his termination could take place, the Redemption was taken over by Republic and desperately short of Astromech Units, his condition was reassessed but Republic technicians as was assigned Vigilance Starfighter Group.

On learning of his change of ownership, R4 was more than happy to now perform his duties to the best of abilities. R4 became noteworthy for his active participation in recently saving the life of Mia StormChaser, single-handedly piloting her crippled ship WildCard Two to safety.

When she recovered, StormChaser in recognition of the droid’s tenacity has nickname R4 ‘WarHog’ and a close bond has formed between the pair.
