== Biography ==
=== Naboo Crisis ===
By the year 32 BBY, the Trade Federation and had allied itself with Darth Sidious and Rune Haako had become one of Viceroy Nute Gunray's aides. On the orders of Darth Sidious, Gunray and Haako (angered by the taxation of trade routes) led the Trade Federation's Invasion of Naboo in 32 BBY. The Federation's Droid Army took full control of the planet. However, during the Battle of Naboo, Gunray and Haako were captured by Padmé Amidala and arrested.
=== Joining the Separatists ===
In 22 BBY, Haako accompanied Gunray to Geonosis, to a meeting where several leaders of governments and corporations pledged their support to the Separatist Alliance, forming the Separatist Council. The Federation joined under the condition that Amidala was killed. This led to the assassination attempts on Amidala and the discovery of the Clone Army on Kamino by Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Amidala, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker were captured on Geonosis and sentenced to death. Gunray and Haako attended the execution in the Petranaki Arena, but the three were rescued by the Clone Army, leading to the Clone Wars.
=== Death ===
Towards the end of the Clone Wars, the Separatist leaders fled to Mustafar. Haako accompanied Gunray to the planet alongside several other Neimoidian aides. However, after Darth Sidious seduced Anakin Skywalker to the Dark Side of the Force, he dispatched Skywalker to Mustafar to wipe out the Separatist leadership, no longer needing the Separatists in his plans. During the massacre, Haako begged for mercy but was killed nonetheless.
