Super battle droid b1 with a lightsaber. Battle droid army

"). The word droid itself was formed from another name for robots in science fiction literature - android (humanoid, translated from Greek). AT English language an is a form of the indefinite article, which caused the reduction of the word. Although only humanoid robots are properly called androids, the word "droid" in the world of Star Wars means a robot in general. Droids were used and how military force and as helpers. Below are the following types of droids.

Battle Droids

Battle droids.

Separatist battle droids B1 Standard droids were used as the main troops of the Trade Federation, and after it joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems, they became the backbone of the Separatist Droid Army. Armament consisted of a blaster rifle and a pistol, as well as a thermal detonator. Used in the Battle of Naboo, and lost due to control failure. After the Battle of Naboo, the Senate decided to ban the construction of battle droids and the development of droid technology. But the Trade Federation moved their production to distant planets that were not part of the Republic. There, the droid model was improved. The main combat tactic of droids is to take on numbers, as a single droid was a very weak opponent due to its lack of combat experience and dependence on the control computer.

In addition to B1 soldiers, there were also:

  • Commander droids who coordinated the actions of the privates. They had yellow circles on their foreheads and chests.
  • Guards (red)
  • Pilots who operated equipment and warships. They had blue circles.
  • Paratroopers (green circles). Used in capture spaceships.

Astromech Droids

Astromech Droids- small white and blue, white and red or white and black droids used to maintain heavy equipment, spacecraft, and control computer systems. Usually equipped with various kinds of instruments and sensors, but the droid R2-D2, one of the heroes of the film, is also equipped with rocket engines, a slot for storing memory cards, a holographic player, a small circular saw (he cut the droid's eye with it at the beginning of episode 3) and a small magnetic suction cup (with which he tore off C-3PO's head from the droid and attached it to his own body). Astro droids help when piloting fighters, and on enemy ships and bases they are simply indispensable due to the ability to infiltrate computer systems management. In the Old Republic, AstroMechs were usually brown with good knowledge computer.

Unique was the T3-M4 hand-built droid, made on Taris by a droid saleswoman and later bought by Revan and owned by Darth Treya, the Jedi Exile and the other owners of the Ebon Hawk.

Notes

Battle droid B1

Frome Wookieepedia, yes.

“Give the Jedi more droids. Soon huge mountains will form from the bodies of these machines and the Jedi will not be able to get over them.
-Sentepes Findos

B1 battles used E-5 blaster rifles, blaster pistols, and thermal detonators. And they were recognized most of all by their dry and mechanical voice without emotions. Interestingly, each freshly assembled batch of droids had a different voice. It wasn't until the end of the Clone Wars that their voices were standardized.

After the Battle of Naboo, the Senate decided to ban the construction of battle droids and the development of droid technology. But, judge for yourself, who will stop it? Factories were moved to distant planets that were not part of the Republic. One such planet was Geonosis. The planet has also begun assembling the new B-line droids, which you can learn about here.
The army of these battle droids was the largest in the history of the galaxy. Yes, even though they were not very good fighters, their scope was huge. They could work in conditions that even the Hutt would not let a slave into.

When the Trade Federation teamed up with the CIS forces, they got a droid army that was so numerous that they had to write more than nine zeros to write down their number. This whole armada fought on planets such as Coruscant, Muunilist, Naboo, Kashyyyk and others.

This whole droid mess ended only at the very end of the life of the Old Republic, when, at the wave of Darth Vader's hand, during the massacre of the Confederation Council, he stopped the production of droids.

During the Galactic Civil War A downed X-wing landed on the surface of Geonosis. Who was in it? No, not right, not Yoda. And not Termos. There was Wedge Antilles, a famous rebel pilot. He explored the planet and was able to find disabled droids on it. They helped him escape from the Imperial forces pursuing him by distracting the stormtroopers, who fired on them with a heavy stationary blaster cannon (E-web).

Types and colors

The colors in which the parts on the body of the B1 droids were painted showed the type of this fighter. Not everyone walks the same way.

standard color- an ordinary ordinary droid.
Blue- Battle droid pilot
Red- Security Droid
Yellow- Commander Droid
Green- Droid for storming enemy ships.

Some droids were given paint that allowed them to blend in with environment. I do not envy those who accidentally stepped on his foot.

Battle droid army- troops of the CNS (Confederation of Independent Systems). Unlike clones of the Republic, droids are not creative thinkers, and as a result, they are unable to perceive the experience gained in battle. Their production costs a lot of money, but this is offset by the speed of construction. Comparing the two armies, KNF droids are not as effective as Republic clones, but are much cheaper (compared to the latter) and there are more of them. Droids are divided into several "species":

1. Battle droidsB1 - the main forces of the CIS, cheaper than super battle droids, but less effective than the latter. The droid has no brain, and it fits a little more in its head than in a large and sensitive receiving device. It is thanks to him that the droid receives commands from the Droid Control Station. Small processors are responsible for the movements and some of the sensory data they transmit to the central computer. The voice generator allows the droid to speak in a monotonous mechanical voice. There are several B1 droids:

1-1. B1 no difference - beige- standard battle droid. Armed with a rifle, a pistol, and a thermal detonator.

1-2. B1 with blue circles- A mechanic droid whose main task is the maintenance of equipment and its piloting.

1-3. B1 with green circles - landing.

1-4. B1 with yellow marks - commanding squad.


1-5. B1 with red stripes on the shoulders and chest - security droid. Protects various KNS facilities.

In addition to improved armor, which could successfully withstand most standard clone blasters, saboteur droids have improved artificial intelligence that is independent of the control station and can think creatively and analyze the situation on the battlefield. The voice generator of these droids allows you to play different tones of sounds, creating different voices of many species and races, as well as clones. However, they vocabulary too small and specific, so that they can be quickly exposed. The armament of the rank and file was a rifle and vibroswords. In addition, saboteur droids possess not only ranged and melee weapons, but also have skills in hand-to-hand combat. Thanks to their movable limbs, their strikes are precise and deadly. The only drawback of these droids was their high price, so during the Clone Wars they were used only in special operations. Their "ancestor" was the B1 battle droids.

5. Droidek (Destroyer Droid)- A combat type of droid used by the Trade Federation and the CIS. Droidekas, during the Clone Wars, gained a reputation for being deadly creatures that even the Jedi feared. They were valued for their versatility and firepower. Destroyer droids saw action in many battles of the Clone Wars, usually as part of small squads, and also served as security guards in various Separatist installations. Droideks outperformed B1 battle droids in several ways. They could fold into a cylindrical shape, resembling a wheel, and due to this, move quickly. When faced with danger, the droids deployed into a three-legged structure, equipped with two twin blasters and usually a shield generator that could deflect or absorb any kind of energy blast, up to light cannon blasts, as well as counteract lightsaber attacks. In addition, the effectiveness of the Destroyer Droids was provided by an extended range of vision sensors that were not affected by tricks with light. Despite being formidably equipped, Droidek had a significant drawback: his shield was designed to defend in an upright position. If the droid fell on its side or hit a wall,

the defenses couldn't distinguish the obstacles from lightsaber strikes or blaster shots. Because of this, the generator continued to power the shield and burned out, leaving the robot vulnerable. A burned out generator left the Destroyer defenseless. Also, the Protective Field was not included in the wheel configuration. Droidek had difficulty moving down inclines and up stairs. To do this, he had to unfold and begin the descent or ascent, which made it difficult to coordinate his legs.

This droid's weapon was a special electric staff made from Freak, a material that can resist a lightsaber. MagnaGuard could also use the B1 droid rocket launcher or rifle. They were known to be formidable assassins, capable of taking down both clones of the Republic and the Jedi themselves with ease. The magnadroid was one of the most dangerous droids in the Confederacy. They were used as a guard for the Separatist leaders from the Jedi. Their staves didn't deflect blaster shots, so they were useless in a big fight.

7. Droid Octuptarra- actively used during the Clone Wars by the Techno Union and the CIS. Three-legged spider-like automata had a large spherical head impaled on subtle body. Below the head, laser cannons were mounted. The droid's standard armament consisted of three laser turrets, evenly spaced on each side, below the photoreceptors. The height of the droid, moving on three zigzag, divided supports, was 3.6 meters. The droid was nearly impossible to approach unnoticed, as the photoreceptors located on different sides gave a panoramic view of the area, and the articulated rotating block allowed them to immediately open fire in case of a sudden collision with the enemy, which made them a difficult and dangerous target. The Octuptarr droid was most effective at a distance, as its armament and growth allows it to fire at long ranges, but if the enemy got close, the droid became vulnerable, since the weaponry did not allow close fire, and the large head was poorly protected from dense fire from side of the enemy.
