Built by Baktoid Combat Automata , an OOM command battle droid served as a lieutenant in the Navy of the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars . The droid was the subordinate of a Neimoidian Captain , stationed on the command bridge of a " Munificent " - class star frigate . Circa 21 BBY , the frigate was patrolling near the planet Florrum , in the Sertar sector of the Outer Rim Territories , when a " Flarestar " - class attack shuttle approached the planet . The vessel belonged to the Weequay bounty hunter Shahan Alama , who was en route to Florrum to hide himself from the authorities of the Galactic Republic due to his involvement in the Senate hostage crisis . When the Lieutenant reported the vessel ' s arrival to the Neimoidian Captain , he ordered the droid to bring him the sector ' s threat files . The Lieutenant delivered a datapad containing the files to the Captain , who then verified that the Confederate leader Count Dooku had been briefly captured by a Weequay pirate gang based on Florrum . Mistaking Alama for one of the pirates , the Neimoidian ordered the frigate to attack Alama ' s ship to avenge the Count ' s captivity . The attacking frigate and its target were noticed by a Republic " Acclamator " - class assault ship , which was on a scouting mission in the same sector . The Republic ship was commanded by Jedi General Aayla Secura , who sent Clone Commander CC - 5052 , nicknamed " Bly , " with a squad of LAAT / i gunships to investigate the battle , ordering the clones not to engage the Separatists unless fired upon first . The Confederate frigate spotted one of the gunships , and the Lieutenant proceeded to notify the enemy ' s movement to the Neimoidian Captain , who ordered squadrons of Vulture droids , " Hyena " - class bombers , and Single Trooper Aerial Platforms to assault the Republic forces . However , Bly ' s gunship defeated the droid squadrons , which also shot down Alama ' s ship , winning the battle for the Republic . Characteristics . The battle droid Lieutenant had black photoreceptors and , like all OOM command battle droids of the same series , stood 1 . 91 meters in height . Second - in - command of a " Munificent " - class star frigate , the droid Lieutenant served the ship ' s Neimoidian Captain , overseeing the patrolling frigate ' s operations and reporting all detected activity in the sector to the superior officer . The Lieutenant ' s reporting style did not come without negative commentary , as the droid ' s poorly detailed notification about Alama ' s craft caused the Neimoidian to reprove the droid and demand a more thorough briefing . The command droid followed the Captain ' s orders in a dutiful manner , and when the Captain stated that the droids would not need a share of the reward he would receive for two glorious victories over the enemies of the Confederacy , the Lieutenant promptly agreed . Behind the scenes . The OOM command battle droid Lieutenant first appeared in " " , an issue of the online , taking place between and of the .
