Troop

"I put my faith in diplomacy. We can't solve all of our problems by throwing troops at them."

- Republic Senator Padmé Amidala during her Mission to Rodia

A troop was a small military division, and "troops" was also an abbreviation for "troopers." The Trade Federation Droid Army used troops, and during the Invasion of Naboo OOM command battle droid OOM-9 sent troops to find the Gungan villages.
