Super battle droids (SBDs) are a model of combat droid designed by Baktoid Combat Automata. They fight alongside the lighter battle droids as heavy infantry.
History
The SBD was first deployed by the Trade Federation and subsequently adopted by the Techno Union and Confederacy of Independent Systems. They saw extensive action during the Clone Wars as ground troops[1].
Following the end of the Clone Wars, the SBD was generally retired, but some units were later transferred private hands, and a number were successfully deployed against the Yuuzhan Vong[2].
