Mission to the Naboo mountains This mission took place during the Trade Federation Droid Army ' s invasion of Naboo in 32 BBY . After losing Naboo ' s capital , the Royal Security Forces were overwhelmed , and a group of resistance fighters , led by Captain Kael , began searching for allies in their struggle . Fighting their way through the countryside , two pilots saved a trading village in the Naboo swamps , and the surviving traders sent Kael and Gavyn Sykes on a mission to the mountains to find a smuggler who could help them fight the Trade Federation . Upon locating and rescuing the smuggler ' s transport , the officers escorted it through the canyon while under constant fire from Trade Federation forces . The smuggling crew and Naboo pilots fought through the canyon , and Borvo , the smuggler , gratefully offered his assistance . The Hutt led them toward his N - 1 assembly site in the mountains , which came under attack by Federation forces . After they destroyed the attacking battle droids , Borvo gave the pilots new N - 1 starfighters and aided in planning an offensive against the Droid Army . Prelude . After a disastrous defeat in the early stages of the Trade Federation ' s Invasion of Naboo in the year 32 BBY , the Royal Naboo Security Forces were forced into a desperate battle for survival . The Security Force officer Captain Kael and his wingmate Lieutenant Gavyn Sykes escaped the invasion and engaged Trade Federation forces attacking Naboo civilians . The two pilots subsequently joined up with police officer Vedd Deviss after rescuing his trading village . Acting on intelligence provided by Deviss , Kael and Sykes headed with him into the northern mountains to search for a smuggler , Borvo the Hutt , who could help them strike back at the Trade Federation Droid Army . The mission . As the three pilots approached the mountains , they picked up a ship , which , according to Deviss , belonged to their " smuggling friend . " Kael advised his wingmates to stay alert just before a patrol of droid starfighters damaged Sykes ' N - X Police Cruiser . Due to the damage , Sykes switched to a landspeeder acquired from a nearby hangar . Kael and Deviss went to search for the smuggler on the north trail while Sykes went east . Sykes came across a civilian homestead under attack by Single Trooper Aerial Platforms and destroyed the droids , saving the homestead ' s owner . The owner gratefully gave Sykes technology to upgrade his vehicle . Sykes then continued his search for the smuggler . Kael ordered him to ignore several houses under attack by the Federation , as there were too many battle droid squads there . Traveling past the houses , Sykes found the smuggler ' s ship in a canyon pinned down by Armored Assault Tanks . He contacted the ship and offered his assistance . Scouting ahead , Sykes escorted the ship through the canyon , destroying many tanks firing at the freighter along the way . Upon reaching a safe distance from the tanks , Borvo thanked Sykes for the assistance and offered his support , and the Naboo pilots agreed to travel with him . Sykes found another police cruiser in a hangar and took to the skies while Deviss landed and supported the group from the ground . Though Sykes was worried they might be heading into a trap , Kael assured him it was worth the risk . When they reached the Hutt ' s base , the N - 1 assembly site , they discovered that the Trade Federation was already there and planned to wipe out the base . Although the Federation had planted mines in the area , the pilots successfully escorted Borvo ' s ship to the base , destroying several laser turrets on the way . First , however , the ship had to stop at a staging area and allow Kol Kotha , one of Borvo ' s pilots , the chance to join the fight in his starfighter . Kotha then picked up a Federation transmission , letting them know that droid reinforcements were inbound . The pilots performed several strafing runs against the droids and destroyed the tanks before the base was wiped out . Aftermath . With the factory saved and the pilots having acquired new ships , they went on to strike the first blow against the Trade Federation invasion . Borvo provided information and material to the Naboo resistance until the Hutt betrayed them . Borvo was in the employ of the Trade Federation , and later provided information about the resistance to the invaders . The incident was later mentioned in a report given to the Sith Lord Darth Maul by the leader of the invasion , Viceroy Nute Gunray . Behind the scenes .
