Battle droid assassin

The battle droid assassin was a variation of the B-1 battle droid used by the Trade Federation and the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. They were programmed with incredible accuracy, which proved lethal to the Republic's clone troops. They were equipped with a droid sniper rifle as well as a standard blaster pistol and thermal detonators.

Battle droid assassins were used more during the second half of the Clone Wars and were painted with camouflage patterns. They were rare, however, because it was costly to make a droid controlled by a central computer accurate as they lacked independent thought and battle droids in general were thus known for very little accuracy.

These sniper units were used mostly for cutting down special targets such as enemy commanders or other highly dangerous foes.

Following the execution of the Separatist Council by Darth Sidious's new apprentice, Darth Vader, these units were de-activated.
