Squad Three ( Lok Durd ) / Legends Squad Three was a squad of several B1 and B2 battle droids in the Separatist Droid Army that were under the command of the Neimoidian General Lok Durd . They accompanied Lok Durd to the planet of Maridun to test the Neimoidian ' s new artillery weapon , the Defoliator , which when detonated could destroy all organic matter in the weapon ' s blast radius but leave mechanical objects , like the battle droid s , unharmed . Soon after arriving at the planet and setting up the base camp , Durd carried out a successful first test of the Defoliator using a pair of B1 battle droids , which Squad 3 witnessed . Lok then took Squad 3 , along with at least two other squads , to test the defoliator on the planet ' s Lurmen colony . However , three Jedi : Anakin Skywalker , Ahsoka Tano , and Aayla Secura , along with Commander Bly and Captain Rex , which had crash landed on the planet earlier , had found out that Lok was going to destroy the Lurmen village , and had set out to stop him . When the droids arrived at the colony , the Jedi enveloped the colony with a deflector shield , using a pair of shield generators they had stolen from the Separatist ' s base camp . The Defoliator could not penetrate the deflector shield , so Lok ordered Squad 1 to attack the colony , destroy the Jedi , and take down the shield generators . The first squad charged the colony , but the three Jedi and their two clone troopers were able to easily defeat the battle droids , the Jedi cutting down most of the droids with their lightsabers . Lok then ordered both Squad 2 and Squad 3 together to charge the colony the same way Squad 1 had . The Jedi fought the two squads the same way too , but this time the Battle Droids broke threw the Jedi line and continued on to the colony . Anakin , realizing that the droids might destroy the shield generators and leave the colony exposed , told Ahsoka and Aayla to keep fighting the droids while he went to destroy the defoliator . Meanwhile , the two squads pushed Bly and Rex , which had stayed behind to give covering fire , behind the makeshift barricade the Jedi had built earlier out of some kind of large pods . The droids blew threw the barricade and continued on to attack the colony , while the clones fired on the droids from covered positions . Aayla and Ahsoka were still attacking the battle droids , running up from behind them and attacking them while they were attacking the colony . However , they were unable to stop the droids from destroying the shield generators , deactivating the deflector shield . With the colony now exposed , Lok Durd ordered his remaining to load the Defoliator and destroy the colony , but Anakin was running up to Lok ' s position . Durd ordered his droids to fire on the Jedi , but Skywalker evaded the blaster fire and destroyed the defoliator along with several of the droids guarding Lok . The Neimoidian tried to run away and escape , but the Jedi Knight captured him before he could get far . Back at the colony , the remainder of the second and third squads were still attacking the colony , and the village ' s leaders , Tee Watt Kaa , a devote pacifist , did not want his people fight the Separatists even if it meant the destruction of the entire village . However , his son Wag Too , disgusted by how is father would just sit by and watch the droids kill their people , found several other Lurmen that were willing to fight and attacked the droid . The small colonists underneath the remaining droids , tying their legs together with rope while the Republic forces distracted the battle droids . Once all the battle droids were tied together , the Lurmen pulled the droids down , while Ahsoka decapitated the droids on the ground . All the Battle Droids in Squad 2 and Squad 3 were destroyed during the battle .
