BL-series Battle Legionnaire

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

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.

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.

One droid, BL-17, survived and would later be used by Boba Fett during the early days of the Galactic Empire.
