Part of the Massassi Group based at the Great Temple on Yavin 4, it flew with Red Leader Garven Dreis in his T-65B X-wing starfighter. It had red, black, and white paneling and stood 97 centimeters tall.
R5-K6 and Dreis fought at the Battle of Scarif in support of the strike team that stole the Death Star plans, and afterward flew in the Battle of Yavin, where the pair were shot down and killed by Darth Vader.
