Biography
Created by Baktoid Combat Automata, Unit 2953 was a B1 battle droid who served in the Separatist Droid Army during the Clone Wars. He was not in the favour of his droid colleagues, as they believed that he was continuously complaining about everything. While the other battle droids spent their time by playing cards, Unit 2953 was constantly left out and sent to carry out military duties, which greatly displeased him. In time, the droid's irritation continued to grow.

Around 22 BBY, Separatist commander Asajj Ventress moved to planet Rodia with her droid forces, to retrieve an item called Death Brick. Unit 2953 was a part of the battle droid party stationed on the planet when the Galactic Republic strike force arrived to ensure that the planet would remain safe. Again left out of the card game, Unit 2953 was ordered to go on patrol and destroy any Republic forces he would encounter. Mounted by a Single Trooper Aerial Platform, he traveled to fulfill the task. Flying across the jungled areas, Unit 2953 once again expressed his anger, thinking that he finally had enough of his comrades. He was so focused to complain his fate that he failed to notice the Republic All Terrain Tactical Enforcer, which was transporting three Jedi, High General Obi-Wan Kenobi, General Anakin Skywalker and Commander Ahsoka Tano, who were returning from a duel with Ventress. Before Unit 2953 sighted the walker, he flew straight to the AT-TE's mass-driver cannon, and his head got stuck to it.

Hanging helplessly in the cannon, Unit 2953 tried in vain to free himself. When this failed, he asked help, and a OG-9 homing spider droid jumped from behind the trees, ready to attack the AT-TE. However, the clone trooper who controlled the cannon quickly turned it against the spider droid and opened fire. The shot released Unit 2953, and sent him flying for the spider droid. He hit the spider droid and got his head once again stuck. The spider droid collapsed, and the AT-TE continued to move forward, leaving the frustrated battle droid to struggle to loosen himself. The STAP he had used to patrol continued to fly by its own, and later bypassed a camp where two of his colleagues were playing cards with Clone trooper commander CC-2224 and his comrade clone trooper. Unit 2953's absence was noticed by the another B1, who asked has anyone saw him, but the other droid questioned the importance of the location of the said droid, as he believed that Unit 2953 was always complaining about things.
