Super tactical droid Super tactical droids were advanced tactical droid s that had command capabilities during the Clone Wars , acting as generals of the Separatist Droid Army . One such droid was Kalani , who was in command of the Confederacy of Independent Systems forces during their occupation of Onderon . They would often resort to threats and torture as interrogation routes . These droids were created to analyze a battle , calculate a possible battle - winning solution , and a time frame to carry out their plan . Being programmed with Separatist beliefs , they ruled through fear and through the lack of courage and hope in their victims and specifically " freedom from the tyranny of the republic . " Although Super Tactical Droids were not directly involved in combat , they were able to effectively use self - defense and an E - 5 blaster rifle . Being programmed for success , they are willing to kill or be killed for the advancement of the Confederacy of Independent Systems . Building off their predecessors , the T - series tactical droid , they had a much more robotic inflection to their voices , as well a larger , more imposing and more damage - resistant body . These droids were also able to better process and adapt to sudden changes and unexpected complications and have more variables in their calculations . Although better than those before them , flaws in their programming were still prevalent . These include the difficulty to see approaches and plans that differ from their own , and the overconfidence in the Confederacy of Independent Systems and its army . Characteristics .

In the second year of the Clone Wars , Separatist leader , Count Dooku dispatched General Kalani to assist King Sanjay Rash ' s forces in dealing with the rebels of Onderon . During this time , he worked alongside the Royal Militia ' s commander , General Tandin as they attempted to capture the rebels in Iziz . However , Tandin and his forces then defected and assisted the rebels in freeing Ramsis Dendup during their escape to the highlands . When the rebels were able to defeat the droid gunships , Kalani was then ordered to retreat with his forces to Agamar , despite Rash ' s objections . Kalani then executed Rash and retreated to Agamar . Another super tactical droid , Aut - O was stationed aboard a Providence - class dreadnought . However , he was destroyed by R2 - D2 . Another one was given command of a commandeered Venator - class Star Destroyer with the mission to destroy the Republic strategy conference on " Valor " station in the Carida system .

After the Clone Wars ended , the Galactic Republic transformed into the Galactic Empire and the Separatist Council was assassinated by Darth Vader , who then used the Council ' s equipment to send a shutdown signal to the droid army . However , Kalani , who was stationed on Agamar at the time with a battle droid garrison , assumed the shutdown command was nothing more than a Republic trick so he ignored it and did not relay to the droids under his command . Years later , Clone Captain Rex , Lasat Garazeb Orrelios , Jedi Kanan Jarrus and his Padawan Ezra Bridger arrived on Agamar , looking to find weapons and explosives for the rebellion . Kalani had his forces capture them and bring them to him so that he could play a little " war game " with them so that he could " end " the Clone Wars his way . Kalani holds Zeb hostage while Rex , Kanan and Ezra fight through his troops . After defeating waves of battle droids and making their way to the command center , Rex , Kanan and Ezra ordered Kalani to surrender . Kalani refused , but Ezra convinced him that neither the Republic nor the Separatists won the war and the Republic " became " the Empire . When the Empire arrived on Agamar , Kalani agreed to help the rebels escape . While the droids and Zeb attacked the stormtrooper s and AT - DP ' s , Kalani had five droids fire at Ezra and Kanan who redirected their shots at proton bomb s underneath the AT - AT ' s , destroying one of them in the process . The droids and the rebels made their escape in three " Sheathipede " - class transport shuttles , one being destroyed in the process . Kalani bid farewell to the rebels but refused to join them , believing that they had less than a 1 % chance of successfully overthrowing the Empire .
