The empire made combat droids illegal shortly after they took power. The empire didn't want someone to get the same idea that the lord of the sith had back in episode 1.
Yeah um like I asked before, where are you getting this? Becuase you sound like you are just making it up
Here this is from the Star Wars Databank...
"Arakyd Industries curried considerable favor with the Empire with their exceptional line of military and security droids. For this reason, they were awarded the contract to supply some of the highest ranking officers in the Imperial echelons with personal servant droids. Or, at least, that's what the Imperial Security Bureau would have everyone believe. "
Now how the heck could Arakyd Industries have a line of military and security droids if combat droids are illegal? Site sources, where does it ever say that combat droids are illegal?
In terms of the background Combat Droids are illegal in much the same way as most millitary hardware technically is("Interesting, but citizen, could you please tell me exactly why you need 3 millitary grade combat droids? Don't let the stormtroopers taking aim at you put you off").
However, galaxies doesn't make the particular distinction as can be seen by the people running round with flamethrowers etc.

Yeah I know certain makes a models might be illegal like assasin droids and whatnot, but why would that make all combat droids illegal, such as security and hunting droids.
