The droid grenadier was a B1 battle droid model that used grenades for light anti-armor roles.
[edit] History
During the Invasion of Naboo, droid grenadiers were stationed at key points in the plazas and walkways of Theed. Obi-Wan Kenobi cut through many of these as he attempted to meet up with Qui-Gon Jinn, who had gone ahead to find an easier route to the Theed Palace. Later, the young Jedi Padawan would face more of these battle droids on missions to free Bravo Squadron from Trade Federation captivity and to disable an anti-starfighter turret preventing the pilots from taking off.
Later, in the Clone Wars, these units were used in conjunction with assault droids for light armor demolition. Following the execution of the Separatist Council by Darth Vader, these units were deactivated.
