DRN-38

DRN-38 was a battle droid who served in the army of the company known as the Trade Federation. Sometime between 39 BBY and 36 BBY, DRN-38 commanded a group of droids that were sent to the rediscovered moon Alaris Prime to secure its resources illegally for the Federation. On the moon, DRN-38's droids encountered a small group of Wookiees led by the Chieftain Attichitcuk, who was leading his species in a legal colonization effort on Alaris Prime. The droids shot Attichitcuk's party, killing the other Wookiees present and badly wounding the Chieftan. Jedi Knight Qui-Gon Jinn, who was assisting the Wookiees, sent Attichitcuk's son Chewbacca to rescue him. Chewbacca found Attichitcuk, destroying many of DRN-38's droids in the process, then had a medical droid heal him. In retaliation, DRN-38 sent three droidekas to the base Attichitcuk had been taken to, but the Wookiees defeated the droids.

Behind the scenes
DRN-38 was mentioned in the 2001 PC video game Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds and its 2002 expansion. DRN-38's name was given as the commander of the Trade Federation forces in the fourth level of the Wookiee tutorial campaign, "Researching technology," but the droid does not appear anywhere else in the game.
