First Battle of Harte Secur During the Invasion of Naboo in 32 BBY the city of Harte Secur was attacked by the galactic Trade Federation . The attack was provoked when , following the Federation ' s droid army ' s landing on Naboo , command droid OOM - 14 suffered a malfunction and allowed soldiers from Harte Secur to steal a Droid control program , rendering a significant part of the Federation ' s Droid Army useless . Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray , knowing how dangerous the program could be in enemy hands , sent a task force led by his personal command droid OOM - 9 to retrieve the program from the Research Center it was held in . The task force successfully destroyed the Research center , retrieved the program and reactivated OOM - 14 ' s army with the help of a technician . The army then proceeded to attack Harte Secur in retaliation . Much of the city was destroyed in the battle and the Trade Federation built a base in the ruins . Harte Secur would remain under Federation control until it was liberated by the Gungan Grand Army . Prelude . In 32 BBY the Galactic Republic Senate passed a legislation taxing trade routes , upsetting the galactic Trade Federation , who under orders from Sith Lord Darth Sidious blockaded the small planet of Naboo in protest using a droid army . In the initial landing several of Naboo ' s major Transmitting cities were destroyed . Despite the early success for the Federation an interruption came when a Droid control program that had been placed under the command of droid OOM - 14 , was stolen by a group of soldiers from the city of Harte Secur , meaning a large number of Battle Droids were left useless . Viceroy Nute Gunray of the Trade Federation knew that the program could do incredible damage to his army if in the wrong hands , so he ordered his personal command droid OOM - 9 to retrieve the program . A small strike force was airlifted to the deactivated camp along with a Neimoidian technician to attack the base and reactivate the program . The Battle . Retrieving the program . The strike force followed a path that led to the entrance of the Research Center where the program was being analyzed , encountering a small patrol on the way that was easily swept away . The droids destroyed the base ' s gate and turrets and killed the Royal Guards positioned at the base with ease . The technician seized the program and , stealing two Naboo transport ships , the strike force was able to return to OOM - 14 ' s camp . The technician then returned the program to the base ' s Command Center and initiated anew its digitized directives , thus reactivating the deactivated droid army . Nute Gunray then ordered OOM - 9 to take command and renew the battle in full force by destroying Harte Secur in retaliation for harboring the stolen program . Punishing Harte Secur . OOM - 9 decided first to attack Harte Secur ' s airbase , known for training some of Naboo ' s best pilots . The base was easily overcome by the droid army . The Trade Federation received a large supply of nova crystals from the base ' s spaceport , before moving on to the city itself . On the road to Harte Secur the army encountered small resistance with several Naboo patrols . When they reached the city the droids engaged the Royal Naboo Security Forces , which consisted mainly of Royal Guards and Royal Crusader s . The droids advanced through the city streets and then destroyed the city ' s Command Center , causing the military to surrender and placing Harte Secur under Trade Federation control . Aftermath . Nute Gunray was so impressed with OOM - 9 ' s leadership in the battle that he placed him in command of the invasion of another major Naboo city , Spinnaker . Many of Harte Secur ' s civilians and military were taken prisoners after the battle , one of whom told the Trade Federation of the Gungans , an amphibious race on Naboo , who would become the target of the Trade Federation ' s attacks following the capture of Theed , Naboo ' s capital city . Harte Secur became a Trade Federation base after the battle and Camp Six was set up nearby as a prison camp for fambaas , a native animal on Naboo which the Federation planned to skin and sell . When the Gungans allied themselves with Queen Amidala of Naboo they freed the fambaas at Camp Six to use for the upcoming battle against the Trade Federation . The Gungans also liberated Harte Secur during this time , though it was severely changed from its original form . Behind the scenes . The battle appears in the second level of the Trade Federation campaign , entitled " Behind the Lines " , in the PC game " " and its . The player begins with only a small collection of units to begin with but after retrieving the Droid control program they can build more units to attack Harte Secur with . In order to complete the mission the player has to destroy Harte Secur ' s Command Center and keep OOM - 9 and the Neimoidian Technician alive , if either of those characters are destroyed then the player will automatically lose the mission . Attacking Harte Secur Airbase is an optional mission for the player to complete , but if they do they will receive additional nova crystals . A Gungan base is also optional for the player to destroy , however it is unlikely that is canon ical because the Trade Federation didn ' t discover the Gungans until after the First Battle of Theed . Qui - Gon Jinn , Obi - Wan Kenobi and Jar Jar Binks also appear in the level as an Easter Egg .
