OT-Violator

"Avoid them at all costs, my friends. The leader of the so-called Penumbra Omen only briefly identified itself as the "OT-Violator". Their starships seem to be like that of a Hutt smuggler's starcraft, although I certainly doubt any Hutt would be flying any of those ships, at least not like that. Their personality almost seemed... mechanical."

―Captain Silverline^[1]

OT-Violator was a mysterious droid active in the Naboo system during the Galactic Civil War. Around the time of the Battle of Yavin, a group of starships led by OT-Violator ambushed an unit of the Imperial Navy commanded by Captain Silverline in the Area D-512 of the Naboo system. The Imperial forces suffered heavy casualties and were not able to identify this hostile force that was code-named Penumbra Omen. Captain Silverline, Imperial Authoritarian, was only able to report that the leader of the assailants identified itself as the OT-Violator. The Empire later prohibited all travel in the Area D-512, renamed Penumbra Omen Quadrant.^[1]
