Trade Federation Research Station

This Research Station was operated by the Trade Federation after the Battle of Naboo. It was used to research the next generation of Battle Droids. The facility was effectively destroyed following a raid by the Royal Naboo Security Forces.

Characteristics
The research buildings were surrounded by a high wall and guarded by laser cannons. The facility sat on an island.

Security Forces raid
After acquiring intelligence, the Naboo Security Forces led by Lt. Gavyn Sykes raided and seized the facility. While the commandos downloaded the data, Sykes used his N-1 starfighter to defend them. The Trade Federation was not taking the raid lightly. They sent a C-9979 landing craft full of battle droids to retake the station. A number of droid starfighters engaged Sykes while scores of battle droids on STAPS harassed the defenders. Sykes shot down the landing craft, but not before it landed reinforcements. Eventually, the overwhelming forces drove the commandos to call for an evacuation. A Consular-class cruiser landed on the remains of the station and recovered the commandos and the data. Droid starfighters pursued the fleeing ship until it reached escape velocity. With the Security Forces driven off, the Trade Federation was free to retake the station.

Aftermath
When the data was analyzed, it was found the Federation was building a super battle droid, and the trade organization would have to be watched.
