A guard, a male Human serving in the Royal Naboo Security Forces, sustained wounds during the Invasion of Naboo in 32 BBY. This year, he commanded a group of ten troops in an attack against a Trade Federation Armored Assault Tank. Tragically, his entire troop was killed, and he received a leg injury. Seeking refuge, he found nearby cover where he was discovered by Obi-Wan Kenobi, a Jedi Padawan. Kenobi provided the guard with water, and in exchange, the guard shared information about navigating past the tank.
During the Invasion of Naboo in 32 BBY, a male Human Palace Guard belonging to the Royal Naboo Security Forces was present. After the Trade Federation, a galaxy-spanning corporation driven by greed and responsible for initiating the invasion, entered Theed, the capital city of the planet Naboo, he led ten troops in an assault on an Armored Assault Tank. The tank killed all of his troops, and he sustained a broken leg. He found shelter in a nearby location, but he was unable to move from there.
While escorting Sabé, a handmaiden acting as Padmé Amidala, the Queen of Naboo, through Theed, Obi-Wan Kenobi, a Jedi Padawan, encountered the guard. The guard asked the Jedi for water, and Kenobi spoke with him. Kenobi then provided the guard with a canteen filled with water, and the guard shared details about how to get around the tank.
Kenobi successfully bypassed the Armored Assault Tank and continued to guide the Queen back to the Theed Hangar.
This guard, with his fair complexion and the standard red uniform of the Palace Guards, felt his end was near when he first encountered Kenobi, due to his injuries. He expressed gratitude when Kenobi offered him a canteen of water. He also voiced his disbelief that the Jedi could overcome the Armored Assault Tank, which had decimated his unit.
This guard makes an appearance in the Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace video game adaptation of the Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace film, released in 1999. During the game's fifth mission, players controlling Kenobi have the opportunity to encounter him. Players have the option of interacting with the guard through various dialogue choices, and can choose to either ignore him or provide him with water. If the player chooses to provide water, they must locate a nearby water source and return with a canteen for the guard, who then provides information about the nearby tank. This article considers this path as canonical. The game's strategy guide details the steps to complete this side-quest. Nick Jameson is credited as the voice of "Injured Soldier #2" and Greg Burson as the voice of "Injured Soldier #1" in the game's credits. However, it remains unclear which of the two voiced this specific character in the video game.
