R6 astromech droids, which are also referred to as the R6-series, constituted a line of astromech droids. The R6's head, similar to that of the R5 series, had a conical frustum shape; however, its eye component shared a greater similarity with the R2 series.
The R6 series saw utilization within the combat-oriented Power Control game during the Hunters of the Outer Rim sporting competition in the year 9 ABY.
The Resistance employed the R6 series within starfighters like the T-70 X-wing.
