Grievous II
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Once the problems with the B1-SF droids came to light after hundreds of these units had been manufactured, the R&D section of the Gahenn Droid Foundry had come up with a slightly modified variant. The proposal of wither to replace the B1-SF with this new design, or make it its own droid, and purpose it to be a commanding unit for the B1-SF. This discussion turned to a heated argument as time passed, before the leadership with the Crimson Hand made the decision for them, and demanded the new design be made into an Officer Unit. They complied, and within a week, the B1-SFO was already being mass produced to lead the B1-SF droids into battle.

- To allow the droid to be more useful as an Officer, one of the built on cannons was removed and replaced with a standard B1 arm, so then it was capable of utilizing the necessary equipment it needed to use as it commanded the B1-SF units.
- The droid is able to mow down large amounts of infantry, just like the B1-SF
- The arms have been reinforced to account for the extra weight the new weapon has packed on.
- Secondary function can be to provide cover fire for units unable to defend themselves while moving to a target, such as the B2-P Pummeler Battle Droid, or the Anti Air Battle Droids.
- This unit is smarter than the Standard B1, and is able to coordinate and command the B1-SF units into proper working units.
- The droid is still aggressive in nature, despite the fact this variant of the B1-SF is more intelligent than the normal one.
- The Recoil is still an issue with this unit, but due to the fact it only has one repeating blaster cannon instead of two, the risk of friendly fire is diminished.
