A B1-series battle droid served with[2] the Separatist Droid Army of the Confederacy of Independent Systems[3] during the Clone Wars.[2] After that army's deactivation in 19 BBY,[4] the droid remained in operation and at some point went rogue, eventually becoming a bounty hunter. At one point, the droid was present at the scene of a battle in a desert area.[2]
The rogue droid had tan plating and black visual sensors. They had a different upper body, including head and arms,[2] than other B1-series battle droids,[3] with their head sharing design elements with that of the BX-series droid commando model.[5] By the time the droid worked as a bounty hunter, they wore a red cape and wielded attached to their right forearm a blade with the Galactic Basic Standard word "ARMBLADE" written on it in the Aurebesh writing system.[2]
Behind the scenes
The rogue B1-series battle droid was created for the Desperate Circumstances set of Fantasy Flight Games' Star Wars: The Card Game, in which they were illustrated by Ryan Valle.[2] The set was released on November 9, 2017, and on the same day the droid was also featured in a preview article for Desperate Circumstances on Fantasy Flight Games' official website.[6]
