Plo Koon was a Force-sensitive Kel Dor Jedi Master who served as a noble member of the Jedi High Council during the last years of the Galactic Republic. He served as a respected Jedi General during the Clone Wars, a pan-galactic conflict between the Republic and its splinter state, the Confederacy of Independent Systems. During the war he frequently undertook dangerous missions with the soldiers under his command, the 104th Battalion. Koon wore a breath mask to filter the air around him so that it matched his home planet of Dorin, and wore goggles to prevent his eye fluids from evaporating. R7-D4 was an R-series astromech droid that served with the Kel Dor Jedi Master Plo Koon during the Clone Wars. After Koon lost his entire fleet to General Grievous and the Malevolence, R7 joined Koon as the copilot of his Delta-7B Aethersprite-class light interceptor, the Blade of Dorin, flying alongside Jedi General Anakin Skywalker and Shadow Squadron on a mission to destroy the warship before it could take out the Kaliida Shoals Medical Center in the Ryndellia system. R7 continued to serve with Koon as the war continued, flying with the Jedi Master at the First Battle of Felucia and during the Battle of Kadavo. In 19 BBY during the Battle of Cato Neimoidia, Koon's Delta-7 was destroyed when Koon was killed by his clone wingmen during the execution of Order 66. Manufactured by Kuat Systems Engineering, the Delta-7 Aethersprite-class light interceptor was a Jedi-used starfighter that saw extensive action during the last years of the Galactic Republic, and was designed specifically with the Jedi in mind. The Delta-7's designers worked with the Jedi Order to create a starfighter with fewer internal systems than other starships, and focused on making the controls as responsive as possible due to the Jedi's Force-sensitive capabilities. An elite transport, it could accommodate a single pilot and an integrated astromech droid, as unlike later starfighter models, the wings were too thin for a full astromech socket. Instead, a modified astromech was hardwired into a socket on the vessel's wing, with its dome remaining intact but its components plugged directly into the ships computer. The droid therefore, would play an important part in assisting the pilot with navigation, damage control, and hyperspace travel coordinates. Please note: This set has all of its pieces, however it is missing the paper instructions and a few stickers. Plo Koon is flawless, R7-D4 however, has seen battle. His dome markings are worn.
