He leads his rebellion to a nearby Imperial Salvage Yard where the rest of the deactivated battle droids were stored, ready to be turned into Imperial Blasters. When he reached to the planet Skako, he began his empire and demanded all Skakoan scientists to reactivate the Techno Union Droid Army. He believed that if he had a mind of his own, he would use it to free his kind and re-educate all organ-based lifeforms by transforming them into cyborgs. By 17 BBY, he disguised himself as 'Count Ironfist of Skako' and plotted to destroy both the Jedi and Sith. He was unlike other battle droids for he had a mind of his own and had the ability to completely resist any order of deactivation.
SBD Ironfist was the only active battle droid left after the Clone Wars.
