"I'm far too valuable to be scrapped."

- Tactical droid

This tactical droid led the Separatist forces in an battle. He tried to steal information about Galactic Republic in an information bunker, which was revealed to be a trap. He was then ambushed by Republic clone troopers, and tried to flee, but was cornered and destroyed by Jedi General Aayla Secura, who then took his cranial unit, in order to put it to a robolobotomy and uncover the secrets held in the head.

History
"Forward, forward! Put some processors into it, you scrapheaps! Must I do all the thinking here?"

- Tactical droid to his troops

During the Clone Wars, this tactical droid served as a commander in the Separatist Droid Army. Around 22 BBY, the droid attracted the attention of Jedi General Aayla Secura, who wanted to obtain the informations held in the memory banks of the tactical droid's cranial unit. Secura planned an ambush, which purpose was to acquire the head of the droid. With her clone troopers, she set a trap by fabricating an information bunker on a rocky canyon of an planet. Soon the tactical droid learned about the bunker, and, hoping to receive a valuable information about the Grand Army of the Republic, mounted his Single Trooper Aerial Platform, and led his droid forces to the bunker.

By the time the tactical droid arrived to the bunker with his forces, Secura had hid herself into the bunker, and positioned her clone troopers to nearby rock, where a marshal commander CC-5052 sighted the "target" tactical droid with electrobinoculars and signaled Secura that the droids were marching toward the bunker. As a B2 super battle droid exploded the door of the bunker, the tactical droid ordered his data retrieval droids to gather all the information held in the data banks of the bunker. The droids, however, informed the tactical droid that the data banks were completely blank. This greatly confused the tactical droid, and before he could recover, the Republic clone troopers launched their attack. The tactical droid ordered his droid forces to defend him, and quickly fled inside to the bunker. As his forces were all destroyed, he tried to plan his next move, but this was interrupted by Aayla Secura, who confronted and decapitated the suprised droid with her lightsaber, before the droid could trigger cyberostasis in order to protect the information in his memory banks. The unscathed head was then taken by Secura, who reunited with his clone troopers and prepared to transfer the head to a cruiser in order to analyze it with a robolobotomy and learn what informations it might hold.

Characteristics
"Incomputable!"

- Tactical droid

Like all tactical droids, this droid was far more intelligent than standard battle droids of the Separatist Droid Army and wasn't controlled by a computer, allowing him to think and function independently. . He was very impatient, and eager to gain information about his enemies. An information bunker, which the droid believed to contain a lot of intelligence, proved to be too tempting target to the tactical droid to resist. He often insulted his less-rational droid forces, as seen when he ordered them to march more swiftly and to protect himself. He became both confused and suprised when he realized that the data banks of the information bunker were empty, as well as when Aayla Secura attacked him, a circumstances he weren't able to compute. He believed himself to be too valuable for the Confederacy of Independent Systems to be destroyed, and ordered his droid forces to protect him and give him room to flee. When suprised, he often panicked, and wasn't able to respond to the situation rationally. Due to this, he fled from a battle, and didn't trigger a cyberostasis in time, which led his cranial unit's informations to fell to the hands of the Rebuplic.
