OOM command battle droid/Legends

"If they're down here, sir, we'll find them."

- OOM-9

OOM command battle droids were any OOM-series battle droids used by the Trade Federation and Confederacy of Independent Systems for the purposes of transmitting orders from the Central Control Computer to squads of infantry or security battle droids. Until the Clone Wars, the commanders were the only OOM units to possess intelligence and independence apart from the Central Control Computer. The most famous command battle droid was OOM-9, who commanded the droid forces in the Invasion of Naboo.

Commanders were characterized by yellow-orange markings on the tops of their heads and circular spots on their abdomens and their backpacks. They received long-distance signals allowing them to be far from base with their squads, and reported directly to the Central Control Computer. If a command droid lost contact with a CCC, it would remain active for three minutes, upon which time it would enter standby mode for a further ten minutes, after which it shut down completely. During the Clone Wars, they served as liaisons between infantry droids and their Separatist masters, making them the CIS equivalent of the clone trooper commanders. Although most had antennae, some assigned to AATs lacked them. Later in the Clone Wars the OOM series command droid was upgraded and was given a larger back pack.
