BDE-2 battle droid

The BDE-2 battle droid was a model of battle droid produced by the Techno Union's Earth Division, "BDE-2" stood for "Battle Droid, Earth, 2nd Model", the BDE-1 battle droid being simply the TUED factory designation for B-1 battle droids produced by it.

The BDE-2 was the first model of battle droid designed and produced specifically by the Techno Union Earth Division, the BDE-2 was an Earth Divsion designed analogue of the B-1 battle droid, and was designed to perform a similar role, the BDE-2 was slightly shorter than their B-1 relatives, however, but also had superior AI and programming, making them more expensive than their cheaper B-1 counterparts, as a result the BDE-2 was rarely seen outside of the Solar System, and was almostly excusively used by Separatist militaries within the Solar System.

During the First, Second and [[Third Battle of Earth (Wardie1993)|Third battles of Earth the BDE-2 served against the Clone troopers of the Galactic Republic/Galactic Empire, the BDE-2 droids were nicknamed "Wedge-Heads" by the Clones due to the droid's notably wedge-shaped head.
