Unidentified B1 Battle Droid Lieutenant

A B1 Battle Droid Lieutenant served at General Grevious's castle on the third moon of Vassek in 22 BBY during the time of the Clone Wars.

History
When Viceroy Nute Gunray escaped the Venator-class Star Destroy, Tranquility, this lieutenant was assigned to protect a hologram of Gunray, which was intended to throw the pursuers off track. When Jedi Master Kit Fisto along with Jedi Knight Nahdar Vebb and a squad of Clone Troopers reached Vassek's third moon and entered into the dark castle, they discovered what seemed to be the viceroy, guarded by a group of battle droids.

Eventually, the lieutenant noticed the task force while conversing with the viceroy and his squad engaged the troops. The lieutenant made the hoax realistic and had his troops slowly advanced as they targeted the Jedi first instead of mindlessly charging at their enemies. Soon, Vebb brutally cut the droid in half and performed a Force push to incapacitate the still functioning lower half of the droid. The droid was the last of his squad to be defeated, Fisto and Vebb would then later discover the droids were only part of the trap.
