A rare entry by AccuTronics into the fifth-degree labor droid market, the B1 worker droid was a smaller complement to the massive CLL-8 binary load lifters used in freight.

[edit] Characteristics
Its programming was similar to its larger brethren, which equated to a simplistic, literal mindset which was nonetheless appropriate to the drudgery of heavy manual labor, which required little more than great strength. B1's would take orders from anyone. Its cargo claws were designed with suction pads for added grip, and its reverse articulated legs were aided by a third retracting leg which was used for added stability during lifting of bulky loads.
[edit] History
During the period just prior to the Clone Wars, AccuTronics fielded a nuna-ball team composed of B1s. This team was defeated by a Serv-O-Droid team featuring RIC-series droids, which were quicker and more agile than the strong but lumbering cargo droids. After order 66 Darth Vader ordered many to be destroyed as imperial engineers found encoding which when a certain alteration was made, could develop the ability to operate a blaster and as the empire owned many, proved a huge threat.[source?]
These droids were used on the Death Star I and at Radell Mining Corporation headquarters.
