TI-348

"Our forces fight at one hundred percent combat efficiency, we will not fail you my lord."

- TI-348 to General Grievous TI-348 was a T-series Tactical droid who was active during the Clone Wars where he served as a commanding officer of the Separatist Droid Army. He was originally constructed on the hostile world of Geonosis and was deployed to lead the droid armies of the Confederacy of Independent Systems against the Galactic Republic throughout the galaxy-wide conflict and gained a reputation for being an exceptional droid commander due to his high number of victories against Republic forces. He made his fame during the First Battle of Ordonia where he successfully kept the planet in Separatist hands and left the Republic with a pyrrhic victory on Yadrov, which alienated many Jedi Knights and Republic soldiers. His last stand was on Rhen Var where he was eventually destoryed by a Republic bombing run.

History
TI-348 was first constructed in 22 BBY on Geonosis is the months leading up to the Clone Wars where he originally served as an overseer in the droid factory he was created in to make sure the mass production of B1 Battle Droids was under way and going at the necessary pace demanded by the Geonosian Archduke, Poggle the Lesser. TI-348 accomplished this task and lead droid forces into battle when the Clone Wars began in 22 BBY with the First Battle of Geonosis. There, he managed to hold off Republic forces and buy the Separatist Council the needed time to evacuate the planet, but the planet fell to the Republic at the end of the battle. Two months later, he lead Separatist forces and reclaimed the planet for the Confederacy and had Poggle reinstated as Archduke of Geonosis. During the early stages of the Clone Wars, the tactical droid managed to defend Separatist holdings in the Mid and Outer Rim Territories and won many decisive victories against Republic forces as well as help secure pyrrhic victories for the Republic to harm the morale of its troops and citizens.
