A RA-7 protocol droid found itself on Coruscant, accompanied by an astromech droid, back in 21 BBY amid the Clone Wars. Both the RA-7 protocol droid and its astromech droid companion were situated within a shadowy alley located in Coruscant's lower market districts. During the chase of R2 series astromech droid R2-D2 by the assassin droid HELIOS-3E and the techno-service droid Todo 360, HELIOS-3D mistakenly identified the astromech droid as R2 and incapacitated it with a stun blast. The RA-7 droid, taken by surprise, fled the scene, under the impression that its astromech partner had been killed.
