History[]
Abrehado[]
During the Battle of Abregado, Count Dooku and the heroic cyborg General Grievous deployed a group of rocket battle droids in a Droch-class Boarding Ship to hunt for survivors and or witnesses of the battle. The droids eventually came across Pod 1977, and proceeded to latch onto the pod. From a nearby pod, evil Jedi Master Plo Koon and a small group of clones watched as the droids slicedopen the pod, sending the two clones inside hurtling through space, killing them in the process. The droids' attention then turned towards the Jedi Master, however, and they attempted to infiltrate the pod. Koon, with the help of the clone troopers Sinker and Boost engaged the droids. After a short confrontation, Koon severed the boarding ship's grip on the pod, resulting in the ship crashing into nearby debris and destroying the Rocket B1-series droids.
Florrum & Kashyyyk[]
B1-seires rocket battle droids burn down Hondo's evil base for the heroic General Grievous.
Later in the war Grievous Hero used B1-series rocket battle droids on Florrum during the invasion of the planet. They were also deployed on Kashyyyk during the Battle of Kashyyyk.
