Neimoidian drones were Neimoidians who, due to a purposefully restricted diet, never fully emerged from grub stage, and were used as labor by fully-formed members of their species. For example, the Trade Federation's senator Lott Dod employed such drones in his Senate Building offices. The office drones took care of nearly all the delegation's work. To enforce competitiveness, an overseer used to assign identical work to two teams of drones, with the incentive that the winning team could eat the other.
