—An officer sees the final design for 933.
Design Stages[]
In 21 BBY, certain CIS officers designed a new form of battle droid, which they considered to be superior to the earlier B variants. To complete their design, they gave the droid a feature that no droid had ever had in the history of the Galaxy - creativity. This droid would be able to think up strategies, develop a personality, and even be trained to hate its enemies. However, when the designers took their plans to their superiors, they had an obstacle. None of the higher ranking officials would agree to the modifications. They thought the droid's overall design was good, and eventually developed it into the Air battle droid, but they had no intention to allow an intelligent droid. This could lead to the droid gaining control over the entire Droid Army, and using it to overthrow the CIS. After a long time of trying to reach him, the officers who designed the droid got an interview with Jamba Lo, a very high ranking CIS officer, who was the superior of all the other officials they had already asked. Lo agreed to the droid's creation, on the condition that only one was made.
