B3-A-Series Ultra Battle Droid

The B3-A-Series Ultra Battle Droid is a powerful and deadly modification of the B3-Series Ultra Battle Droid. Instead of relying on a Remote Processor, B3-A Droids have internal Heuristic Processors that give them a high degree of both intelligence and independence. Physically, the B3-A is identical to an ordinary B3 Battle Droid, with the exception of its processor and the addition of a Secondary Battery. However, its programming is far more sophisticated, and it has an excellent knowledge of tactics. Its extra battery allows it to operate on long missions, far from any support, and so it is most often used as a commando unit.

### B3-A-Series Ultra Battle Droid Encounters

B3-A Droids are most often used for commando raids on remote or heavily guarded enemy encampments. A typical mission consists of one or more Probe Droids performing initial reconnaissance and relaying the information they gather to a small squad of B3-A Droids, which attack swiftly and attempt to overwhelm their enemies with both surprise and the force of their weapons. Often a small team of B3-A Droids is used as a surgical strike force. A well-shielded landing shuttle secretly drops between five and twenty of these Droids near their target. The Droids attack and, if possible, destroy this objective, leaving no survivors or records. Afterward, they climb back in their shuttle and depart the world, leaving only smoking ruins and mystery behind them. Both the Trade Federation and several other smaller groups use these Droids to destroy potential threats and to eliminate small and poorly defended commercial rivals.

B3-A-Series Ultra Battle Droids can't be played as Droid Heroes.
