After the Battle of Yavin, Prison Battle Droids guarded a detention facility in the hidden Rebel Alliance base on Corellia. In 1 ABY, when the base was discovered by an Imperial agent sent by Emperor's Hand Mara Jade, at least three Prison Battle Droids were destroyed during the Imperial assault on the detention facility.
Prison Battle Droids appeared in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts, prior to its closure on December 15, 2011. Prison Battle Droid were added to the game with the release of the "Game Update 11," published on June 23, 2009, and were present in the game during the Empire Day events of 2009, 2010 and 2011. One of the quests of this event sent Imperial players to the Rebel prison on Corellia where they had to kill various Rebel non-player characters, including three of these droids.
The game model used for this droid class was first used for various droids, such as AK-1A "Hammer" on Mustafar in Star Wars Galaxies' expansion, Trials of Obi-Wan.
