Batch 4652-A

OnACanonArticle

"Supervisor Poreni. I am C-5DS, on behalf of General Grievous. Field data indicates that batch 4652-A of B1 battle droids have proven insufficient in terms of combat performance. Out of more than twenty-six thousand deployed droids, less than five percent have survived engagement with Republic forces. Before scheduling another order, we require an update as how the product will be improved."
―C-5DS to chief supervisor Poreni — 20?cb=20250116042720 ▶️ (file info)[1]

Batch 4652-A was a batch of over twenty-six thousand B1-series battle droids manufactured at the Akiva production plant and deployed to Hakara[1] around 22 BBY during the early Clone Wars.[2] During their service against the Republic Military, the droids displayed demonstrated poor combat performance, with less than five percent having survived through confrontation with Republic forces. As such, the droid C-5DS communicated the poor performance to Poreni the chief supervisor of the production plant on behalf of General Grievous. Poreni promised to improve the next batch and offered a twenty percent discount on it, which C-5DS accepted as a discount on all B1 orders going forward.[1]

In 3 ABY,[3] the scoundrel Kay Vess discovered four transmissions between Poreni and C-5DS that included the discussion regarding batch 4652-A.[1]

If the BX-series was new during the early war, then the Clone Wars-era transmission about preliminary BX testing seen in Star Wars Outlaws must have been from the early war period as well.
