OOM-9

OOM-9 was an OOM command battle droid who served as the commanding officer of the Trade Federation's droid army during their invasion of the planet Naboo in 32 BBY. After Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice returned from Coruscant with Queen Amidala and gained the help of the Gungan Grand Army, OOM-9 was sent, with the Federation's battle droid army to destroy the gungans. OOM-9 was the primary contact to convey orders from Trade Federation leaders Nute Gunray and Rune Haako to the ground forces. He oversaw the battle while inside his own personal Armored Assault Tank, ordering forces to overrun settlements and prevent the population from reporting the invasion by destroying communications transmitters. The droids were able to create a victory for the Federation, but this was short-lived, as every Federation battle droid was shut down when Anakin Skywalker destroyed the Droid Control Ship above Naboo. The control ship's destruction affected OOM-9, as it rendered the droid commander temporarily inactive.
