[edit] Characteristics

Built for use in arctic climates, cold assault battle droids-or "snow droids"- were built on an enlarged B2-series battle droid chassis but with their wrist blasters removed to accommodate the snow droid's greater grip strength. The heavy blaster that replaces the wrist blasters was a more dangerous weapon, but the droid was still extremely effective even when it lost its main armament.

The major design flaw of the cold assault battle droid was that its large feet-designed to keep it stable on snowy ground-slow it down somewhat. When running, the cold assault battle droid could only move up to three times its speed, rather than four times.

[edit] History

Saesee Tiin encountered some on a mission to Diado during the Clone Wars. With the help of thief Na-Jia, Saesee Tiin was able to destroy them and the entire droid forces using a stolen Confederacy of Independent Systems prototype starfighter, liberating the planet from the CIS.

These droids were presumably deactivated by Darth Vader at the end of the war.
