Asset R-3, a male individual, functioned as a member of the intelligence network providing support to the independent operative the Shroud throughout the Galactic War fought between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire. R-3, embedded within the Republic's administrative structure, was on the verge of obtaining a message in 3637 BBY from a significant Imperial leader intended for a Republic captain, and he informed the Shroud of this imminent acquisition. Tragically, before securing the communique, R-3 was falsely accused of taking bribes from citizens and subsequently apprehended by the Senate Guard; this asset's death then motivated the Shroud to dispatch Asset R-10 to conduct an inquiry. The Shroud's initial suspicion centered on a potential betrayal by the Imperial, but subsequent evidence implicated agents of the Order of Revan.
