Neimoidian Warrior

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Neimoidian warriors are fictional soldiers from the Star Wars universe.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The Neimodian warriors were created to serve as sentient guards for important officials, when it was too risky to use battle droids. The warrior recruits are pulled from the dregs of Neimoidian society, and promised pardon for their crimes for their service. Some were taken a step further, as seen in the warrior brutes. These hulking giants were genetically modified, and are so dangerous they are only activated in extreme situations. Such treatment is added incentive for the Neimoidian warriors to work well otherwise they are taken for the Brute Program. They also use exotic weapons that can trace a little bit from their Nemodian roots, like the robotic beetle time bombs. They will sometimes use ranged weapons but prefer to go hand with club. The Neimoidian warriors were present on Mustafar, and were slaughtered by Darth Vader upon his arrival.
