Capture of Theed

The Capture of Theed, also known as the fall of Theed or the Battle of Theed, was when the Naboo capital of Theed was taken over during the early stages of the Trade Federation's Invasion of Naboo in 32 BBY. The Trade Federation Droid Army, lead by OOM command battle droid OOM-9, moved its forces into the capital, consisting of Armored Assault Tanks, Multi-Troop Transports, vulture droids, and thousands of B1-series battle droids. In addition, battle droids flying STAPs and groups of OOM-series security droids were in Theed as well. When Queen Padmé Amidala and other captives were being transported, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi, fought of the droid escort and lead them to the Theed Royal Palace's hangar, where the group escaped in a Naboo Royal Starship.
