4875 (Trade Federation Droid)

**4875** was a B1-Series battle droid in the service of the Trade Federation. He was part of the Federation's occupation forces during the Invasion of Naboo, and fought a team of Royal Naboo Security Forces members during the Battle of Naboo. In the course of the battle, his regiment OOM commander was destroyed, and 4875 took on the task of leading his fellow soldiers against the attackers.

The entirety of the Federation's occupation forces in Naboo were later deactivated when Anakin Skywalker destroyed the Droid Control Ship, including 4875.

## Biography

4875 was manufactured by Baktoid Combat Automata and Baktoid Armor Workshop in 990 PRC (32 BBY) in the main Geonosian droid factory, comissioned to serve the Trade Federation's Droid Army, specifically to be deployed at Naboo. Though Gunray's forces had initially simply blockaded Naboo while protesting the taxation of trade routes recently introduced by the Galactic Senate, they later invaded the world, and occupied it.

When Queen Amidala, ruler of the Naboo, led a team of Security Guards into the Theed Royal Palace in an attempt to capture Gunray and put an end to the occupation of her home planet, 4875 was currently stationed at one of the Palace's main hallways. He and the other troops in the regiment battled Amidala's forces into a stalemate as the city-wide battle escalated.

   4875's OOM commander eventually fell to Amidala's blaster fire during the fight and the data analysis was instantly relayed to the Droid Control Ship via his comlink booster pack, which in turn relayed back instructions for 4875 to assume command of the regiment in his commander's stead, rerouting orders from the Droid Control Ship above to himself and his troops in real time.

Amidala's forces eventually broke off from the battle, and were able to bypass 4875's regiment altogether by using ascension guns to scale the external wall and reach the upper levels of the Palace and reach Gunray.

The Droid Control Ship was later destroyed by Anakin Skywalker, which resulted in the deactivation of all the Federation's forces on Naboo, including 4875, as the droids were being directly controlled from the ship itself. Gunray was then captured, and the Naboo Crisis came to an end.

## Abilities

4875 was a standard B1 battle droid. B1 droids often employed unsophisticated tactics in battle, massing parade ranks or simple swarms and rarely displaying the concept of cover. Their cheap manufacture meant that their A.I. was very basic if not outright rudimentary when compared to the majority of droid standards galaxywide.

Even though the duties of regiment commander were passed unto him, 4875 did not possess a strong enough processor to relay battle information quickly and as such, allow his troops to overcome Padmé's forces or adapt their engagement strategy.

## Equipment

4875 wielded a E-5 blaster rifle and thermal detonators in combat, standard B1 battle droid gear.

## Appearance

4875 had light tan plating, black photoreceptors and, just like every other B1 battle droid, was 1.93 meters tall, weighted 65 kilograms, had masculine programming and spoke in a high-pitched monotone. Additionally, his designation was imprinted on his back, 4875 also had a standard comlink booster pack built-in for communications.
