―The B1-series battle droid, to Grievous^[2]

During the Clone Wars, a B1-series battle droid was part of the naval forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, in which it served under the command of the Kaleesh Separatist General Grievous aboard his Munificent-class star frigate.^[2] In 22 BBY,^[1] the B1-series battle droid was present for Grievous's ambush of Jedi General Anakin Skywalker in an outer corridor of space, who was ordered by the Kaleesh to deploy their entire complement of Vulture-class droid starfighters despite the droid's expression of Skywalker's inability to escape. However, following the Jedi General's withdrawal, the battle droid informed the Separatist general that Skywalker had escaped, resulting in its destruction in Grievous's frustration.^[2] Grievous also hoped that, by destroying the B1, he would inspire fear in his other forces to motivate them to do better.^[4]
