Battle droid

Battle droids were a type of droid designed for combat.

History
During the Clone Wars, the Confederacy of Independent Systems used a variety of battle droids in their droid army. These droids,including B1 battle droids, B2 super battle droids, and Droidekas, were produced in large factories-many of them on Geonosis. The battle droids were often led in military campaigns by the Kaleesh cyborg General Grievous. Battle droids weren't very capable of battle in small numbers yet could overwhelm in large groups. They are very stupid and need specific instructions.

Although battle droids were outlawed by the Galactic Empire in the wake of the Clone Wars, companies such as Holowan Laboratories were able to evade the ban by having their products reclassified as security droids.
