==History==
===High Republic Era===
While being tested by the Jedi, a young Osha Aniseya was asked to divine what images she saw on a testing screen, which Jedi Master Sol held turned away from Osha. The viewscreen showed various motifs and some tiny symbols, most of which were unknown, but a few were from the Trade Federation alphabet.
As an older Osha and fellow meknek Fillik were repairing the shield generator of the Trade Federation freighter Fallon, a monitor inside the vessel displayed the word "WARNING" in Trade Federation Script.
The viewscreen on Jedi Knight Yord Fandar's macrobinoculars displayed a series of symbols, most of which were unfamiliar, but two stood out: an R and a stylized Z, written in the Trade Federation's signature script.
===Republic Era===
The display on the macrobinoculars used by Darth Maul while searching for Queen Amidala on Tatooine used the numerals from the Trade Federation Script.
One of the B1 battle droids that shut down during the Battle of Naboo had "1138" in the alphabet's numerals on its comlink booster pack. A computer in the Droid Control Ship, used to activate the Trade Federation Droid Army, also used this alphabet.
During the Battle of Geonosis, a B1 battle droid that was firing at opposing Jedi while Mace Windu deflected a blaster shot into a OOM command battle droid, had "1138" printed on its booster pack.
Blueprints of the Jedi Temple contained text written with Aurebesh letters, and numbers in Trade Federation Script. Blueprints of the temple hangar included the text "AB281", "DELTA-7" and "DELTA-7 AETHERSPRITE," while blueprints of the Analysis Rooms included "FLOOR 47" and "3263827 ANALYSIS". A list of specifications for an SP-4 analysis droid included the text "IC-GR8 ANALYSIS DROID".Star Wars: Complete Locations
The T-series military strategic analysis and tactics droid, also known as T1, had the letter L on its chest. One version of the droid also carried the letter on its head.
During the Battle of Lola Sayu, a T1's computer screen used this alphabet. A scan of a cargo shuttle read: "SEPARATIST ESCORT SHUTTLE CLASS TYPE B" . "SCAN COMPLETE" . "SUPPLIES" . "BEVERAGES" . "FOOD" . "MORE FOOD" . "GUNS" . "GENERAL SUPPLIES" . "FROZEN RATIONS" . "ANAKIN SKYWA[obscured]" . "CARBONITE" . "METAL", with the options "DESTROY" and "LET PASS".
During the Clone Wars, the name of "CATO", a dancing establishment on Coruscant's Level 1312 and 1313, was written in this alphabet. At the end of the Clone Wars, this alphabet was used on the monitors of General Grievous' flagship, the Invisible Hand.
===Imperial Era===
During a mission to rescue Jedi Master Luminara Unduli from the Spire, this alphabet was used on a computer accessed by Sabine Wren. The screen said "LOCKED TURBOLIFT". The same text appeared on a computer used by the crime lord Azmorigan in Nixus Hub 218.
At the time of the Galactic Civil War, a sign on Hradreek said "FOODS" in Aurebesh and Trade Federation Script.Star Wars Annual (2015) 4
===New Republic era===
The console of the racing starfighter Fireball used Trade Federation Script. The message "WARNING" : "CHECK OIL" and "SYSTEM" : "WARNING" appeared on several occasions when Kazuda Xiono was flying it: First, when the young pilot was powering up the Fireball for the race against Torra Doza, and during the actual race. Later, it appeared while Xiono flying the Fireball over Castilon, and during a training exercise with Ace Squadron. Sometimes, the console merely read "SYSTEM" : "WARNING". This happened when Xiono was on a mission to rescue Torra Doza from pirates, and during the mission to the Dassal system. At other times, it only contained the second set of data, "WARNING" : "CHECK OIL". This happened during the Battle of Castilon and during another training exercise with Ace Squadron.
When Sidon Ithano met up with Drell and Kragan Gorr on an asteroid, tiny red monitors on the crates that were unloaded from the Meson Martinet said "LOCKED". Later, the monitors switched to green and "UNLOCKED". A datapad used by Neeku Vozo while repairing a B1-series battle droid said:
B1BATTLEDROIDSERIES [sic]
STATUS:

WARNING:

A schematic diagram of Mister Bones said "B1 BATTLE DROID" in Trade Federation Script. It also contained the numbers "180" (listed once) and "360" (listed twice).
