W3-series Battle Droid

The W3-series battle droid were developed in 86 BBY as a private venture by Republic DroidWorks. It was tested by the Confederate Army, but no production models were ordered. Nevertheless, the company continued to work on and upgrade the series, and by 18 ABY it had reached its fourth incarnation (W3-4).

The W3-series battle droids were armed with heavy blaster rifles, heavily armoured and equipped with advanced tactical-oriented processors.
