Although the droids were statistically flimsy, with overwhelming numbers they were able to subdue the Naboo and maintain surface control of the planet. Even smugglers were known to use them, but in smaller amounts compared to the galactic armies of the commerce guilds.ī1 battle droids were used extensively during the Invasion of Naboo by Viceroy Nute Gunray. The voice varied between units.ī1s were used by a variety of governments and armed forces, including the Vagaari Empire of the Unknown Regions. Other models, like the droideka, B2 super battle droid, grapple droid, and B1-A air battle droid, were more expensive and as a result less widely used but better soldiers.īattle droids used E-5 blaster rifles, SE-14 blaster pistols, and thermal detonators in combat. As a result, they were very flimsy and vulnerable, but were capable of swarming an enemy with their hugely superior numbers. The monumental defeat at Naboo spurred interest in independent battle droids, and this technique gained ground following the battle and throughout the rest of the Yuuzhan Vong War.ī1s were designed for cheap mass-production. However, this could lead to massive failure if the central control mainframe was destroyed, such as during the Battle of Naboo, in which the Droid Control Ship was destroyed. B1s were usually slaved to a central control mainframe located on a remote starship or another well-defended facility. Some were painted with different colors to blend into a certain environment, such as the reddish-colored B1 droids manufactured on Geonosis. Some B1 units, designated the OOM-series, were given expanded programming and color-coded according to function, such as commander or security. Superstitious Neimoidians were known to spread the rumor that B1 battle droids' heads were designed to imitate the shape of a Neimoidian's withered skull after death, and many species found the B1's appearance disturbing. B1 battle droids stood 1.93 meters tall and were humanoid in form.
