As of the Sith/Imperial War, Rusty has been operational for over 150 years.
Originally owned by Threkan Starsinger, he then was placed in the service of his daughter Zendia, whom lead the starfigther squadron, Emerald Squadron.
During the Galactic Civil War, most R5 units were ill regarded, and righty so, as they were Industrial Automation's worst flop ever.
However, Rusty proved to be the expection to the rule regarding R5s. IA then contacted Zendia Starsinger, whom at the time recently released her father from Imperial custody, and were amazed at Rusty's flawless record, and used him as a base for their much improved R6 line.
As a reward, IA made a deal with Zendia Starsinger, and made note of Rusty's war and peacetime records, to use in an advertising campaign, and upgraded Rusty's features, which then made him an R6 model astromech.
