Grenade droids were a grenadier variant of the B1-Series battle droid used by the Trade Federation. A variant was known as the thermal detonator battle droid.

Description[]

Droid grenadier

A thermal detonator battle droid.

Like the B1 battle droids, Grenade droids were bipedal with two arms and two legs and had black sensors, and featured green markings to identify their model. They operated by throwing grenades at their targets.[1] Thermal detonator battle droids carried mortars which fired thermal detonators for light anti-armor roles. These units were effective against mechanical and shielded targets and were not as effective against buildings and non-mechanical targets. Droid grenadiers carried their mortars while walking and deployed it while still.[2]

History[]

Grenade droids were used during the Invasion of Naboo in the year 32 BBY. Grenadier droids were stationed throughout the city of Theed and were engaged by the Jedi Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi. During the closing portion of the invasion, more of the droids tried to prevent Kenobi from taking out a quad turbolaser cannon.[1]

One thermal detonator battle droid was used in the opening stages of the invasion. Ten more accompanied the OOM command battle droid OOM-9 during the attack on the city of Spinnaker.[2]

All units of the Trade Federation Droid Army on Naboo were eventually shut down after the destruction of the Vuutun Palaa.[1]
