Gode Takrab Gode Takrab was a male Neimoidian trade officer and holo faker working for the Trade Federation during the Naboo crisis of 32 BBY . Although the Federation had captured the planet Naboo , they still needed Queen Amidala to sign an agreement to legitimize their occupation , and she was reticent to do so . Takrab ' s superior , Rune Haako , ordered Takrab to forge Amidala ' s signature in an agreement , and to create a mock hologram of her . The Federation intended to send both counterfeits to Coruscant . When Amidala and her allies attacked the Federation ground headquarters on Naboo during the second attack of Theed , Takrab was ordered to reach the Droid Control Ship orbiting the planet to transmit the message . Although he was escorted by a security detachment in his route to his shuttle , Takrab was nonetheless intercepted and captured by the Naboo Resistance . He was unable to send the communication before the battle was over , and because Amidala survived and communicated with Coruscant herself , the forgery was rendered useless . Biography . Gode Takrab was a male Neimoidian bureaucrat . A minor trade officer working for the Trade Federation , Takrab was a subordinate to Settlement Officer Rune Haako during the last years of the Galactic Republic . In 32 BBY , the Trade Federation secretly settled the planet Alaris Prime and sent its troops to fight a colony of Wookiee settlers led by Attichitcuk . Takrab commanded a number of B1 battle droids that were defeated during a skirmish against the Wookiees . Later that year , the Trade Federation invaded the planet Naboo and captured its queen , Amidala . Viceroy Nute Gunray , commanding officer of the Federation , wanted the Queen to sign a treaty to legitimize their presence — but Amidala was loathe to do so , and later managed to escape . Once the Federation had captured the capital city of Theed , both Haako and Takrab were assigned to the Theed Royal Palace , on the surface of Naboo . Haako then ordered Takrab to create a false , but convincing , agreement with a forgery of Amidala ' s signature , along with a fake hologram of the Queen that was to be sent to the Galactic Senate as if it were a message from her . Haako reasoned that even if the Senate did not ratify those files immediately , they would argue about its reliability , giving the Federation precious time to cement its position on Naboo . Takrab created an agreement with the false signature and stored it electronically in the memory of his protocol droid , TC - 11 . Takrab then developed the false message , in which a simulation of Amidala held a data slate supposedly visualizing the treaty . Takrab intended to copy the electronic treaty into a real data slate once he could reach the Droid Control Ship , which was orbiting Naboo at that point . Due to a loss of communications on Naboo staged by the Federation , Takrab could only send the files to Coruscant from the starship . Shortly after Haako personally approved Takrab ' s work , Amidala and her allies , including the nascent Naboo Resistance , attacked the Palace . Haako assigned ten security B1 battle droids to escort Takrab to his shuttle , where TC - 11 and two more battle droids were already waiting for him . Haako ordered Takrab to reach the Droid Control Ship and send his proofs to the Senate . To avoid a firefight between other battle droids and Captain Panaka ' s soldiers , Takrab ordered his escort to detour through the repair bay of the Palace . There , they found a few members of the Resistance — including Rorworr , a Wookiee scout ; Deel Surool , a Twi ' lek scoundrel ; and Sia - Lan Wezz , a Human Jedi Padawan — who had separated from the main battle . Confident with his numerical superiority , the Neimoidian ordered his droids to attack , keeping four of them to shield him with their bodies . However , Takrab suffered a panic attack and ran through the crossfire . As the droids were programmed to not shoot at Takrab , this reduced the efficiency of his side . The members of the Resistance defeated the droids and captured Takrab . The Neimoidian pretended to be unaware of the details of his mission and asked to be released , offering his captors a bribe if they escorted him to his shuttle . His captors found the hologram he was carrying and discovered that Takrab did know about it . Nonetheless , Takrab was confident that they would not find the treaty , stored only in his droid . Nute Gunray then sent several other battle droids , commanded by the officer battle droid RK - 7 , to secure Takrab ' s shuttle , which was essential for Takrab ' s mission or as an emergency exit for Gunray should Takrab be killed . Even then , Takrab did not reach the Droid Control Ship and was unable to send his forgeries . Soon afterward , Queen Amidala captured Federation leaders Gunray and Haako , and her Naboo Royal Space Fighter Corps destroyed the Droid Control Ship , deactivating the battle droids . The Federation had lost the battle . Amidala then contacted Coruscant herself and told the Senate about the situation . Once she had made her statement , Takrab ' s forged hologram was of no use . Personality and traits . Gode Takrab was a trade officer with extensive experience in the fields of computer use and counterfeiting . He was also familiar with other areas , including diplomacy and commerce . He was unable to pilot ships , and did not even know the activation code of his own shuttle . Takrab was also a mediocre fighter who would rather allow others to protect his life . The possibility of suffering physical damage intimidated him , as was the norm with Neimoidians . Thus , during firefights , he was unable to keep still . His personal effects included a hold - out blaster that he was unable to use effectively . He also had a friend - or - foe identifier hidden in his cowl , an item provided to Trade Federation officers that kept battle droids from attacking them . In addition , Takrab kept two other identifiers in a secret compartment of his personal shuttle . He made heavy use of the protocol droid TC - 11 , having pre - established code words with him . Behind the scenes . Gode Takrab appears in the RPG adventure " Peril on Naboo " , published in the sourcebook " Secrets of Naboo " and adapted for Wizards of the Coast ' s Star Wars Roleplaying Game . Alternate endings . The player characters are supposed to capture Takrab and stop his mission , although they do not necessarily find both Takrab ' s forgeries . Should both be found , however , Queen Amidala would name the characters honorary Palace Guards . In the unlikely case that the player characters are defeated by Takrab ' s droids , Takrab prompts the droids to escort him to the shuttle and leave for the Droid Control Ship , not giving his fallen enemies a " coup de grâce " .
