Attack on the Trade Federation Research Station

The Naboo Royal Security Forces received intelligence about a Trade Federation Research Station, which caused them to launch an attack on the facility. The Research Station was working on creating a new type of battle droid.

The Battle
After capturing the facility, the Naboo soldiers simultaneously fortified their position and downloaded all available data. The Trade Federation launched reinforcements in the form of a C-9979 landing craft and droid starfighters. Lt. Gavyn Sykes, the sole pilot shot down the landing craft while flying his N-1 starfighter. He then strafed the approaching battle droids, thinning their ranks. As the data theft continued, the Trade Federation continued to harass the Naboo defenders using STAPS and more droid starfighters. Sykes destroyed many forces, but eventually the superior numbers took their toll and the Research Station began to crumble.

When the data completed its download, the commandos called for their Consular-class cruiser to evacuate them. The ship landed on the base as the soldiers climbed aboard. With the survivors gathered together, the ship lifted off. A number of droid starfighters began to chase the escaping cruiser, but Lt. Sykes escorted the ship to a safe distance.

Aftermath
When Naboo technicians analyzed the data, they discovered the Trade Federation was creating a new type of super battle droid. They knew they needed to keep track of further developments.
