Pilot droid/Legends



Pilot droids were droids used to pilot capital ships and light freighters. Unlike astromech droids, which were mostly concerned with repair and hyperspace navigation for ships without navigation computers, pilot droids were used primarily to fly vessels in normal space.

During the Clone Wars, the Confederacy of Independent Systems make extensive use of pilot battle droids originally developed by the Trade Federation. These droid were distinguished from other B-1 droids blue shoulder markings over their mechanical skeletons.

Later, both the Galactic Empire and the Alliance to Restore the Republic used pilot droids. The Alliance found them too expensive to purchase, though they gladly accepted donated droids or droids stolen from the Empire. The most common type of pilot droid during the Galactic Civil War was Industrial Automaton's V1 series.
