R2-D2 is a background character in Jedi Outcast, often seen in game (presumably) as different astrodroids, which look like the famous droid unit from the Star Wars saga.
Personality
R2-D2 is an astromech droid, serving a Royal cruiser of the Queen of Naboo. During the blockade of the planet this little droid would save the ship and its crew from being blaster by the turrets of the Trade Federation ships. The cruiser managed to escape the blockade and later land on Tatooine. Since then R2 would change many owners, serving Amidala Naberrie some time before the Battle of Geonosis, and later assisted Anakin Skywalker in his many missions during the Clone Wars. After the conflict ended, the droid into the possession of Bail Organa of Alderaan, along with his counterpart C-3PO.
The droids would witness many battles between the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire. R2 himself was on the X-Wing piloted by Luke Skywalker, who destroyed the first Death Star, thus saving the day. This droid would accompany his new master in many other adventures up to the end of Galactic Civil War and further.
Appearances
In JO and JA
R2 is seen on Yavin IV, moving through the hangar, when Kyle Katarn arrives at the Jedi Academy to meet up with Luke Skywalker. A similar droid, also called "R2" is later encountered by Katarn on Bespin, occupied by the Remnant forces. It is most likely, that this droid and his counterpart are a simple nod toward the classic characters of R2 and C-3PO.
An Imperial version of R2 can also be seen in JO and JA (actually a reskin).
In other stories
R2-D2 appears in many books, comics and video games. He is seen in The Phantom Menace video game as one of the droids, watching the pod racing on Tatooine. He is a playable character in Galactic battlegrounds, where he served as a basis for R2 units, serving the Rebel Alliance as a civilian NPC to build military bases, spaceports, barracks and other structures.
In earlier JK games such as Dark Forces II and Mysteries of the Sith a similar NPC, but grey with black stripes is simply referred as R2 unit and is seen in many different levels in these games.
