Biography

3B31204die — 3B3-1204 and his unit leader are destroyed by Qui-Gon Jinn.

3B3-1204 was a B1 battle droid serving in the Trade Federation Droid Army. He was a part of the force brought by Viceroy Nute Gunray to the planet of Naboo^[2] in 32 BBY^[1] as a protest against the Galactic Senate's new taxation of trade routes. When Gunray had the planet invaded, he installed an occupation force, of which 3B3-1204 was a part. 3B3-1204's unit occupied the Theed Hangar, where they guarded Naboo Queen Amidala's J-type 327 Nubian royal starship. Several of the Naboo Royal Space Fighter Corps pilots had been captured, and were being held in the hangar as well.^[2]

Shortly after the occupation took place, a group, including Amidala, led by Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, entered the hangar. Jinn spoke directly with 3B3-1204's OOM command battle droid, stating that he was taking the party to Coruscant.^[2] Meanwhile, 3B3-1204 had anti-Jedi tactics programmed into him remotely by the Federation's flagship, Saak'ak. He then began uploading the program to the rest of the unit,^[5] but Jinn had already drawn his lightsaber, which he used to attack the droids. 3B3-1204 was beheaded by Jinn's first stroke,^[2] before he could finish his upload. Jinn and his party, among them Amidala, were then able to seize the royal starship and depart the planet.^[2]
