As a result, B1s were present in nearly every battle involving the Trade Federation.Įarly battles involving the droids required a central computer for the droids to "think" from, but this was mostly removed post-Battle of Naboo after an attack destroyed the mainframe stationed there, resulting in all the droids on the planet being deactivated. The B1 battle droid was frequently used as a soldier for the Trade Federation. They were designed, for the most part, to defeat their enemies through sheer numbers, not through their ability to think (they were very vulnerable to tricks) and utilize combat skills (unlike clone troopers).

Often called "Clankers" by Galactic Republic clone troopers, they were the successor of the OOM-series battle droid.ī1s were perhaps the most numerous-and expendable-soldiers in galactic history, and, unlike most organic soldiers, they were capable of action in hostile environments such as underwater or in space. In Republic Commando these droids are noticeably different in color and their tactics can be seen to be superior than a regular battle droid, this could mean they are in fact not standard B-1 Battle Droids, but rather a form of "Commando Droid" but this does little to change their outcome at Delta Squad's hands.ī1 battle droids were battle droids that made up the backbone of the Trade Federation Droid Army and the Separatist Droid Army. Battle Droids are the primary combat forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, they are heavy in numbers often outnumbering Clones twenty to one, however their intelligence is far lower than their human clone counter parts, often making many combat mistakes resulting in their death soon after.
