OOM-9/Legends

OOM-9 was a command B1 battle droid in the Trade Federation's army during the blockade and invasion of the planet Naboo. He technically had a 100% success rate during the Naboo campaign, but was unfortunately thwarted by his lack of independent thought, and was deactivated when the Droid Control Ship was destroyed during the Battle of Naboo.

Biography


He was a command droid and was in charge of the invasion force which occupied the planet. OOM-9 wore markings painted a dull mustard yellow designating him as a commander. His back plating was removed to accommodate the standard command backpack, featuring an advanced power supply and several antennae for transmitting and receiving orders from the Central Control Computer, which would remain safely in orbit around the planet.

OOM-9's first orders came from Nute Gunray to remove potential threats to the Trade Federation's invasion of Naboo. OOM-9 would disable various amounts of cities on Naboo, such as the trade ports of Harte Secur, and lead the entire Trade Federation army into the city of Theed. OOM-9 captured the Theed Royal Palace and Queen Amidala. He ordered a group of battle droids to escort the Queen and her subjects to Camp Four; however, they were incercepted by two Jedi Knights.



Although the planet was under Trade Federation control, there were rumors of underwater cities. OOM-9 quickly destroyed the cities with the assistance of Darth Maul.

He nearly defeated the Gungan Grand Army in the Battle of Naboo, but the destruction of the Lucrehulk-class Droid Control Ship deactivated all of the Trade Federation's battle droids, including OOM-9, thus marking the end of the Trade Federation's occupation of Naboo.
