7276 (Trade Federation Droid)

**7276** was a B1-series battle droid in the Trade Federation's Droid Army, when the native Gungans responded by massing their own army to combat the invaders, 7276 was deployed at the Great Grass Plains.

During the closing phases of the Battle of Naboo, 7276 excelled in battle and was considered for promotion, having killed the Gungan Liutenant Mabavlos Blaushh in battle and capturing two enemy officers. 7276 was then suddenly deactivated, like all other Federation droids on the planet, when the Droid Control Ship orbiting Naboo was destroyed by Anakin Skywalker.

## Biography

7276 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 as a sign of protest against the Galactic Senate's newly ratified taxation of trade routes, they later invaded the world, and occupied it.

When the native Gungans responded to this invasion by massing their own army to combat the Federation, 7276 was deployed at the Great Grass Plains as a part of the force dispatched to eliminate the enemy ranks. Amidst the battle, 7276 excelled in combat above his peers, and his combat data feeds were sent to the Control Ship live via his comlink booster pack. The Ship's combat data analizers and computers signalled for 7276 to be considered for an OOM commander battle droid promotion after managing to eliminate Liutenant Mabavlos Blaushh, right hand man of General Tobler Ceel.

As the tide of battle turned in favor of the Federation, the Gungan army was forced to retreat and many enemy soldiers surrendered, 7276 aided a group of his fellow B1 droids to surround and capture both Bombad General Binks and Captain Roos Tarpals. Shortly afterward, however, the Droid Control Ship orbiting Naboo and controlling all battle droids on the planet surface was destroyed, resulting in the instantaneous deactivation of 7276 and the rest of the Federation force. Naboo's leader, Queen Padmé Amidala, later captured Gunray and reclaimed possession of the planet.

## Abilities

7276 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. Besides that 7276 excelled in battle above his peers and was considered for promotion before his deactivation in 990 PRC (32 BBY).

## Equipment

7276 wielded a E-5 blaster rifle and thermal detonators in combat, standard B1 battle droid gear.

## Appearance

7276 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, 7276 also had a standard comlink booster pack built-in for communications.
