Saak'ak/Legends

Saak'ak, known as Profiteer in Basic, was the flagship of the Trade Federation blockade fleet over Naboo.

History
A Lucrehulk-class battleship, Saak'ak was captained by Daultay Dofine and Commanded by Tey How. From onboard Saak'ak, Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray and Settlement Officer Rune Haako launched the invasion of Naboo in 32 BBY.



Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi, landed in Saak'ak's hangar as negotiators, shortly after the dispute arose, sent by Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum to help resolve the blockade. Unfortunately, when the Trade Federation learned the Republic had sent Jedi as negotiators, they ordered the immediate termination of their guests under orders from Darth Sidious. Fortunately, although their ship Radiant VII was destroyed, the two Jedi escaped quite easily, the droid security proving no match for the power of the Force. The pair of Jedi then made their escape from the ship by stowing aboard separate droid C-9979 landing craft.

When Viceroy Gunray conquered the Royal Palace of Theed, the orbital blockade dispersed, leaving only the Droid Control Ship to coordinate the occupation forces and control the droid armies on Naboo. The ship was destroyed at the Royal Palace, thanks to Anakin Skywalker, causing all Battle droids on the surface to cease functioning.
