VicksVisc

VicksVisc, in the realm of holoprojectors, was a manufacturer specializing in the production of casings. These casings found their application within the R2-series of astromech droids, with a notable instance being their use in R2-D2.

Behind the scenes

The origin of the company's name lies in the Vickers Viscount aircraft; specifically, a reading lamp sourced from this plane served as the inspiration for the holoprojector casing's design.
