Unidentified Neimoidian technician

"How can I reach the hangar?''" "It's beyond the red security door. But you'll never open the door while its power source is intact." "I must find a way to cut the door's power." "''No! Don't touch the power generator!"

- Kenobi and the Neimoidian

A male Neimoidian was a technician onboard the Trade Federation blockade flagship Saak'ak. As a Neimoidian, he had gray skin. In the year 32 BBY, the Saak'ak took part in the Invasion of Naboo, and during that time, the technician monitored a power generator near the hangar.

The technician met the Jedi Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi, who was escaping the ship after failed negotiations. Kenobi asked how to reach the hangar, and the Neimoidan told him the hangar was beyond the nearby red security door, and informed the Jedi that the door was impenetrable while the power generator was active. When Kenobi expressed his intent to to cut the power, the Neimoidian told him not to.

Kenobi destroyed the power generator and went into the hangar to meet back up with his Jedi Master.

This technician appears in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace video game, the 1999 video game adaptation of the Episode I movie. The player, taking the role of Kenobi, may meet this technician during the game's first mission. The player can talk to the technician using several dialogue options and can ignore the Neimoidian or ask him how to reach the hangar. Alternatively, the player can kill the Neimoidian, which has no effect on the game. This article assumes the player asked the Neimoidian how to reach the hangar. The game's strategy guide advises the player to talk to the technician. Regardless, the power generator must be destroyed by the player to continue.
