BL-series Battle Legionnaire

The BL-series Battle Legionnaires were battle droids produced by the Confederacy of Independent Systems in limited quantities for the Mandalorian Protectors during the Clone Wars.[1][2]
They were similar in design to the 3PO-series protocol droid and were armed with Briletto-made weapons, such as the AAP-11 blaster. Almost the entire production run, along with a large number of the Protectors, would meet their end on Norval II during an attempt to capture Padmé Amidala.[2]
One droid, BL-17, survived and would later be used by Boba Fett during the early days of the Galactic Empire.[3] In the years after the Battle of Endor, rumors floated about of a "belligerent" 88-series droid that possessed the head from a droid of this class.[4]
