The P-series droideka represented a line of droideka battle droid utilized by the Trade Federation Droid Army. These droids were produced in significant quantities, numbering in the hundreds, and actively took part in the Invasion of Naboo when the Trade Federation imposed a blockaded and seized control of the planet. As the time of the Clone Wars approached, the P-series droideka's high cost made it impractical for mass production, despite continued limited manufacturing. The W-series droideka took its place, yet both models became outdated upon the arrival of the Q-series droideka towards the end of the war.
