A battle droid or killer droid was any droid designed for combat.

There were many types of battle droids. They predated the Galactic Republic by thousands of years, with the earliest known being Rakatan ancient droids and the war-robots used by Xim the Despot.

Many of the best known battle droids were those used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars.

By the time of the Battle of Yavin, however, battle droids were extremely rare, most likely due to the Clone Wars, or because the Empire didn't want an army that could be easily built and used against it.

Battle Droids make very efficient soldiers as seen in the recent Star Wars prequels. While some would say that they are nothing but mindless walking blasters, others would call their lack of intelligence a part of what makes them good soldiers. A robotic, mindless soldier is loyal, unquestioning, and easy to control. Not only are they good soldiers, the Battle Droid's humanlike physique allows it to pilot a variety of war craft and other machinery. During the Galactic Civil War, it appears that Battle Droids have been replaced with stormtroopers.
