OOM pilot battle droid/Legends



The pilot battle droid was a B-1 battle droid in the Droid Armies of the Trade Federation and, latterly, the Confederacy of Independent Systems. These droids were programmed to pilot all vehicles and vessels used by the droid forces.

These pilot droids were distinguished by blue markings on their torsos. As non-infantry units, pilot droids did not have the same combat programming as regular B-1 units, and were thus far easier to destroy. Pilot droids operated anything from Providence-class cruisers and Lucrehulk-class battleships to Armored Assault Tanks and Platoon Attack Craft.

Despite their lack of combat programming, B-1 pilot droids were sometimes used as part of Separatist boarding parties, outfitted with blaster pistols, time bombs, and fusion cutters. Certain ground-based B-1 pilot droids were armed with RD-4 pulse grenade launchers to defend themselves.

Star Wars Battlefront identifies blue-marked battle droids as security battle droids, while red-marked units are named as pilot droids.
