[[R4-K8]] - also known as '''Kate''' or '''Katie''' - is an astromech droid. She has had various owners: most notably [[Mandan Hidatsa]], [[Atton Kira]], and currently [[Vittore Montegue]]. She is the mechanic and navigator aboard the ''[[Iego Angel]]'', currently known as the ''[[Crimson Tide]]''.

She has not had a system wipe for over a decade, and as such has developed a somewhat quirky attitude: perhaps emulating her current owner's conduct towards women, Katie is extremely eager to help, please, and compliment any female passengers; but with the exception of her owner, she is much less amiable towards men.

== History ==

[[Image:Katie 2.jpg|thumb|left|120px|Current Configuration]] Katie is an R4-series Droid, designed by [[Industrial Automation]]. The design was built with a heavier focus on Utility Droid functions, unlike other Droids in the R-series, making them more suited as a ship's mechanic than an astromech droid. However, Katie is one of a number of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/R4-P-series_astromech_droid modified R4 droids] that were utilised by the Jedi Order during the Clone Wars, and as such has an expanded capacity for astro-navigation. While working for the Jedi Order, Kate was assigned to navigate the Jedi Starfighter of [[Mandan Hidatsa]].

Some time after the Jedi Purge, R4-K8 was modified to feature the more typical conical head of the R4-series, perhaps to hide its former associations with the Jedi. She was sold on the open market, eventually finding her way into the hands of [[Atton Kira]]. Katie functioned as the mechanic aboard Kira's yacht - the ''[[Crimson Tide|Iego Angel]]'' - for a time, and later accompanied him during his time as a passenger aboard the ''[[Knightfall]]''.

After the ''Iego Angel'' was commandeered by [[Vittore Montegue]] and became the ''[[Crimson Tide]]'', a few modifications were made to obscure Katie's previous origins, including a new orange paint job and an assortment of concealed weapons.

== Relationships == 

'''[[Mandan Hidatsa]]''' was the Jedi two whom "Kate" was assigned, while she was still installed within a [[Delta-7 Aethersprite Light Interceptor|Delta-7 Jedi Starfighter]]. Kate was abandoned - still installed in her fighter - on [[Kashyyyk]] following the end of the Clone Wars, and was initially resentful of Mandan for leaving her; but was sad to hear of his death.

'''[[Atton Kira]]''' purchased R4-K8 simply because the salesman referred to her as "Katie": the nickname he had known his recently deceased little sister by. To Katie's mind, Atton "abandoned" her, allowing her to be stolen away by [[Vittore Montegue]]. Each time Atton and Katie have interacted since, she treats him like a hated ex-lover, and will often refuse to even acknowledge his presence.

'''[[Vittore Montegue]]''' is Katie's current owner. He always refers to her as a ''she'' rather than an ''it'', and that has earned him a considerable amount of affection. The only time that Katie's amiable attitude towards women changes is when she perceives them as competition for Vittore's attention.
