Central Control Computer/Legends

Before the Battle of Naboo, the droids of both the CIS (Confederacy of Independant Systems) and the Trade Federation used battle droids that were all slaved to a central computer. This computer, located on an orbiting command ship or station, would allow the droids to instantly relay information and orders from unit to unit no matter where they were on the planet. The weakness to this system was shown during the Battle of Naboo. Once the command station was destroyed by young Annakin Skywalker, all the droids simply froze where they were. Jar Jar Binks summed up the situation with these words: "Desa Broken!"
