Rune Haako (AU)

"This is too close!"

- Rune Haako during the Battle of Naboo

Rune Haako was the personal aide to Nute Gunray.

Battle of Naboo
In 32 BBY Gunray and Haako were in charge of the Trade Federation. They invaded the planet of Naboo under the command of Darth Sidious. Supreme Chancellor Valorum had sent two Jedi Knights to negotiate with Gunray. However, Gunray was ordered to kill the two Jedi, but they got away. Gunray sent Darth Maul to find the queen of Naboo and kill the Jedi. Maul suceeded at killing the Jedi, but brought back the queen's handmaiden by mistake. Gunray and Haako spent the rest of the battle in the throne room under Maul's orders. However during the battle they were captured by Jedi Master Even Piell.

Clone Wars
Haako still remained loyal to Haako and with the help of the ex-Jedi Count Dooku, the Trade Federation was part of the Separatists. Dooku hired the bounty hunters Jango Fett and Zam Wessel to assasin Chancellor Valorum. However the plan was ruined by Mace Windu and Ki-Adi-Mundi who captured Wessel. The hunter revealed Jango Fett's name before Fett killed her. Gunray and Haako were with the others on Geonosis and got Separatist leaders Shu Mai, Wat Tambor, and San Hill to sign the treaty. Ki-Adi-Mundi and Shaak Ti went in to try and deactivate the droid armies, but failed and were captured by Fett. The two were sentenced to execution, but Yoda and the other Jedi came into the arena and slew many battle droids. Haako and Gunray watched from Poggle the Lesser's box in horror. Then Mace Windu arrived with a clone army and saved the Jedi. Haako managed to flee the planet along with Nute Gunray, TC-14, and Daultay Dofine. Dooku joined them moments later. When General Grievous swept into Coruscant and kidnapped Chancellor Valorum, Gunray and Haako were on Mustafar with Sidious and some of the other Separatist leaders. Yoda and Mace Windu rescued the Chancellor and killed Count Dooku. Grievous was on Utapau, but was slain by Mace Windu and Kit Fisto. When Yoda arrived on Mustafar to duel Sidious, Gunray and Haako left the other leaders behind and rescued Sidious from Yoda.
