B1-173 would have arrived to the fray, joining the fight against the slavers as apart of the small Galactic Alliance fleet dispatched to the station, although irrelevant for the majority of the combat until this point, B1-173 was providing a supportive role in suppressing the slavers as the joint Jedi-GADF detachment began to quell the pirates and to secure the space station, B1-173 observed the corridors and noticed that he had to catch up, as fighting was still present in some proportion within the station, the Droid quickly rushed behind cover and began to assist in the engagement against the slavers. Many of his compatriots began to stare at B1-173 in perplexity and inquisitiveness, wanting to know either how this B1-series was still operational, along with why it was fighting for the Galactic Alliance, but nevertheless, the most important thing was dispatching this batch of pirates within this sector and station as a whole, and possibly help liberate some of the enslaved Chiss which were forced into bondages and whatnot. He ignored his surroundings for the time being, and began to focus heavily upon the slavers which were his current opponents and objective, deciding to push forward, B1-173 attacked, firing a series of bursts and spraying down any pirate scum within his wake, the Droid quickly shifted to and from cover to avoid being blasted at in retaliation to the defending pirates, at this point, he became pinned down by two pirate heavy gunners which were suppressing the corridor into the next section of the station, the pirates heavily fortified their positions and it was clear they weren't going to surrender the station or their treasures without a fight to the death, that is if they decide to surrender early, this gave B1-173 a new approach on the situation and decided to take a diplomatic route to the situation in order to defuse the conflict through means of discussion and negotiation for their unconditional surrender.
"Give up the fight you scallywags, your time is up and you all know that yourself, the forces of the Galactic Alliance Defence Force have you surrounded, and we have already dispatched the majority of your collaborators and comrades before reaching this point, this is why I ask you all to lay down your weapons peacefully to surrender so that you can live through this period of time and ensure that your futures will be fulfilled instead of ending subsequently to the barrel of my blaster rifle, or a lightsaber which would cut you down quickly, trust me, I know what being hit by those is like, both actually. And they aren't good. So give up the losing battle, for there is no pride or courage in continuing to fight."
Although attempting to negotiate with the pirates, they returned fire either way, disregarding what B1-173 monologue and argufied into his speech, nevertheless, B1-173 was rather aware of these scenarios as he has attempted to end fights through negotiating, although in some instances this has worked, it rarely has as many are determined to fight to the death for what they desire and what they seek to achieve, either for themselves or for a cause they fight for. As the pirate's blasters began to overheat and the exchange of blaster fire began to dire down, B1-173 crouched down behind the cover of a wall and slowly peaked around the corner, being assisted with his advanced integrated technologies to detect the enemy's location with precise accuracy, B1-173 would then unleash a volley of fire upon the pirate heavy gunners, subsequently severely injuring both of them and putting them out of action, during this, B1-173 quickly leapt to cover yet again, narrowly avoiding blaster bolts which almost struck him, this time, B1-173 would deploy a smoke thermal to mask his advance and the advance of various GA Troopers down the hallway against the pirates, playing it tactically instead of rushing down aimlessly only to be cut down, B1-173 would have gestured to his comrades to proceed crawling to avoid stray blaster shots which were being fired overhead, as the smoke cleared through, B1-173 quickly used his trusty vibrobayonet to slash and the ankles of two unsuspecting pirates, putting them down and firing his SE-14 sidearm at both of them to quickly end them, he would then fire at the other pirates which were now well aware of what was going on, but thankfully for him, the GA Troopers and the Jedi dealt with the remaining pirate forces within the vicinity.
"Close call, thank you for saving me there, they almost got me. Now, I think we should proceed, well of course we have to since it is what we are here for. Let's continue on the fight against these degenerate filth who take the pleasure and amusement in degenerating others for profit or whatever else, as a Droid, I have felt this neglect for many, many centuries now, and the thought of others and myself being treated poorly by supposedly superior individuals is something to scoff about, without further to do then, let's go! But I say we need to be cautious about this, anywhere could be a death trap for all of us."
As he finished speaking, he entered into the next room and one of the pirates decided to charge him quickly with what appeared to be a vibroblade of sorts, as they did so, B1-173 tried firing at them, but the gun failed as it was heated, quickly thinking, B1-173 quickly fixed the vibrobayonet onto the E-5 Blaster Rifle and stabbed the pirate in the throat, afterwards the pirate quickly slumped down onto the floor as B1-173 took cover as a barrage of blaster fire began to return upon his position, unfortunately, two Troopers got eliminated from the pirates firing upon them, taking this into consideration, B1-173 felt a duty to avenge their deaths, however all the sudden, his HUD began to ping as it identified an injury sustained to his body, it was mild and insignificant as the pirate with the vibroblade beforehand managed to slash B1-173's torso, which showed a visible cut engraved within his chest, nothing too worrying compared to the other injuries the Droid has sustained in the past. After cooling down his blaster, B1-173 quickly did a combat roll out of cover and began to fire upon 4 pirates who were quickly dispatched from his blaster, the E-5 was rather powerful but less accurate, but this instance showcased that the E-5 was still a powerful rifle so many centuries later. Quickly getting up from the roll, B1-173 took cover yet again, as now further GA forces flooded through the station as a whole and into this area of the station, the pirates were now being dealt with accordingly that is without our own fair share of losses in the process, however the pirates were conspicuously higher with their mounting casualty rate. After mustering the strength to continue, B1-173 began to push forward, charging against the pirates and firing rapidly whilst aiming down the sights of his E-5, his combat computing gave him the edge against the pirates, as he quickly jolted his aim against the pirates quickly and assisting his aim as he scored 2 headshots, the rest were torso shots. Yet again the area became secured, and B1-173 remained back this time, collecting what occurred and looking at the others who were joining the fight in order to temporarily rest and recover, especially from that cut he sustained, in which the Droid began to self-repair on the injury sustained, B1-173 was no other regular B1, and being an advanced Mark III model was clearly an advantage.
