The OOM-series battle droids were predecessors to the B1 battle droids. OOM command battle droids, OOM pilot battle droids, security battle droids were part of the line. The OOM-series was used before the Trade Federation built their army of B1 battle droids,^[4] in the Invasion of Naboo,^[1] and throughout the Clone Wars.^[2] B1-268 was an OOM command battle droid under the command of General Kalani in the Separatist holdout on Agamar during the early rebellion against the Galactic Empire.^[3]

OOM command battle droids, OOM pilot battle droids, and security battle droids all had a different purpose. This was shown by their markings of a different color.^[4]

ModelsEdit

• Security battle droid—battle droids designed for security,^[5] also known as Specialist Droids.^[6] These battle droid were identifiable by the distinctive red markings on the back of the head and body. They were used in the Invasion of Naboo by the Trade Federation^[1] and were incorporated into the Separatist Droid Army, tasked to serve as security at locations like the prison the Citadel,^[7] or the Providence-class dreadnought Invisible Hand,^[2] and act as snipers and special infantry for battles against the Republic.^[6]

Behind the scenesEdit

The concept of the "OOM-series" was first introduced in Star Wars Legends for the Roleplaying Game, inspired by the designation of commander battle droid OOM-9. The series name was later brought into canon through Star Wars: The Complete Visual Dictionary, New Edition.
