Eos

Eos was a mineral-rich volcanic world that hosted a large droid foundry belonging to the Trade Federation. The foundry was protected by a shield powered by eight generator pylons, and a large planetary cannon (possibly a hypervelocity gun) that could shred capital ships. The continual movement of the planet's heavy molten rock and ore made Eos's electromagnetic fields both powerful and variable. For this reason, the natives were forced to adopt treaded transports over standard repulsorlift vehicles. Eos produced many of the weapons that saw action the Trade Federation invasion army which conquered Naboo in 32 BBY. Shortly prior to the Invasion of Naboo, the foundry was discovered accidentally by Vana Sage, as she tracked a damaged Hunter-Seeker droid to the molten surface. There she found herself trapped by the shield, which she was forced to destroy in order to escape; during which she expressed her surprise at the planet's ability to "remain geometrically stable enough to form a gravimetric mass". Later, She, Nym, Reti, and Rhys Dallows returned to aid Naboo by destroying the factory. Reti and Rhys remained in orbit to destroy the cannon's targeting satellites, using their speed to their advantage, while Vana and Nym headed to the surface to take down the facility.

The Galactic Empire also likely fought a battle on the world, commanded by Brenn Tantor, if Tantor's comments on the usefulness of AT-PT walkers come from personal experience.

Behind the scenes
"Eos" is the Latin word for "red".
