The last addition so far to the R-series line, the R-7 was designed to work specifically with th E-wing starfighter.
The R-7 boasts storage space for a whopping 15 sets of hyperjump coordinates, and is designed to resist ion blasts which could disable or even destroy another droid's inner workings.
Jedi Master Luke Skywalker was issued an R7 and E-wing starfighter, but (despite numerous improvements over previous models), Luke returned the droid and fighter to the New Republic, prefering the Incom T65 X-wing and his faithful droid companion, R2-D2.
