Unidentified OOM command battle droid lieutenant

"Captain, an unidentified vessel approaches.''" "''More detail, Lieutenant. Your description does me no help!"

- The battle droid lieutenant and a Neimoidian captain

This OOM command battle droid was a lieutenant in the Confederate Navy, serving aboard a Munificent-class star frigate under the command of a Neimoidian captain. During the second year of the Clone Wars, the frigate was patrolling near the planet of Florrum in the Outer Rim Territories, when the Lieutenant spotted a Flarestar-class Weequay ship, piloted by Weequay bounty hunter Shahan Alama, approaching the planet. The command droid informed the Captain about the ship, and the Neimoidian ordered the frigate to fire upon the Weequay vessel. Soon the Lieutenant noticed that LAAT/i gunships of the Galactic Republic had arrived at the battle area, and reported to the Captain, who sent many squadrons of droid starfighters to destroy the gunships. However, the Confederacy fighters were defeated by the Republic forces.

Biography
"It's a small Weequay ship, Flarestar-class.''" "''That sounds familiar. Lieutenant, pull up the threat files for this sector!"

- The battle droid lieutenant and the Neimoidian captain

Serving as a lieutenant in the navy of the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars, this OOM command battle droid was the subordinate of a Neimoidian captain, stationed at the command bridge of a Munificent-class star frigate. Circa 21 BBY, the frigate was patrolling near the planet Florrum inside the Sertar sector of the Outer Rim Territories when an unidentified Flarestar-class Weequay ship approached the planet. The vessel belonged to the Weequay bounty hunter Shahan Alama, who was en route to Florrum to hide himself from the authorities of the Galactic Republic due to his involvement in the Senate hostage crisis. The Lieutenant reported the vessel's arrival to the Neimoidian captain who ordered the droid to bring him the threat files of the sector. The Lieutenant delivered a datapad containing the files to the Captain, who then read the records of Confederacy leader Count Dooku's brief capture by the Florrum Weequay pirate gang. Mistaking Alama as one of the pirates, the Neimoidian ordered the frigate to attack Alama's ship to avenge the Count's captivity.

The attacking frigate and its target was noticed by a Republic Acclamator-class assault ship, which was on a scouting mission at the same sector. The ship was commanded by Jedi General Aayla Secura, who sent Clone Commander CC-5052, "Bly, with a squad of LAAT/i gunships to investigate the battle, ordering the clones not to engage the Separatists, unless fired upon first. One of the gunships was spotted by the frigate, and the Lieutenant proceeded to notify the enemy's movement to the Neimoidian captain, who ordered squadrons of Vulture droids, Hyena bombers, and Single Trooper Aerial Platforms to assault the Republic forces. However, the droid squadrons were defeated by Bly's gunship, which also shot down Alama's ship, winning the battle for the Republic.

Characteristics
"Since you're all droids, you need not share in the rewards that will inevitably await my success!''" "''Roger roger."

- The captain and the lieutenant

Second-in-command of a Munificent-class star frigate, the battle droid lieutenant served the ship's Neimoidian captain, overseeing the patrolling frigate's operations and reporting all detected activity in the sector to the Captain. The Lieutenant's reporting style did not come without negative commentary, as the droid's poorly detailed notification about Alama's craft caused the Neimoidian to reprove the droid and demand a more thorough briefing. The command droid followed Captain's orders in a dutiful manner, and when he stated that the droids would not need a share of the reward he would receive for two glorious victories over the enemies of the Confederacy, the Lieutenant promptly agreed.

Behind the scenes
The OOM command battle droid lieutenant first appeared in The Clone Wars: Hunting the Hunters (Part I), an issue of the online The Clone Wars comic series, taking place between seasons one and two of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars TV series.
