B1-A air battle droid

Air battle droids were upgraded flying versions of the Confederacy of Independent Systems standard B1 battle droid. Unlike the ground units, these fliers were equipped with two short blades, arm-mounted blasters, and a shield that could block lightsabers.

There were high hopes for the design, but it was introduced too late to have any major impact on the war.

They were seen about one time in the elevator shaft in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (game).
