Lektos Nimuos

"Someone get me my anti-stress medicine."

- Lektos's most common saying

Lektos Nimuos was a Neimoidian businessman who was a fairly prominent member of the Trade Federation and later the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Known for being less aggresive than most Neimoidians, Lektos was throughout his life constantly paranoid that his superiors were trying to keep him down, and would often resort to extreme measures to achieve a higher rank. Nonetheless, his qualties extended beyond business, and during the Invasion of Naboo he proved a competent yet unimagnative commander, which would lead him to become a minor commander in the droid army of the CIS. His fate after the Clone Wars is unknown.

Early life
Lektos was born on Neimoidia about twenty years before the Invasion of Naboo. Like most Neimoidians, he was brought up in a grub hatchery and was also indoctrined to be paranoid and greedy. However, his stay in the grub hatchery was cut short when his father displeased a Hutt gangster, who threatened to kill him and his family. Lektos was handed over to relatives on Alderaan, where he spent the remainder of his childhood. During there, he was taught by his somewhat liberal relatives to be aggressive and to forgo alliances for the sake of himself. These teachings would mould his future character.

When he matured, Lektos spent a few years as an administrator of a small spaceport on Alderaan. Due to this monotonous evironment, he found it difficult to fully practice his Neimoidian sense of business, and was unable to get a better job due to the human-dominated Alderaanian economy. Eventually, he managed to learn of the Trade Federation and the fact that it was Neimoidian-dominated. He resigned his job at the spaceport and signed up to the Trade Federation, where he became a worker in the Federation's accounting divisions, and feared that this would soon devolve into another monotonous job. However, Rune Haako himself took note of Lektos's aggresiveness, and promoted him to the upper echelons of the Federation.

After a few years of good pay and a highly improved lifestyle, Lektos was surprised when he was told that he would be leading part of an upcoming invasion of Naboo. Lektos questioned the need for this, but was merely told that the Trade Federation would greatly profit from this. Sensing an opportunity to gain promotion, he did as he was told.

Crisis on Naboo
As planned, the invasion on Naboo went ahead. Lektos played a fairly insignificant role, commanding a small division of droids, and helped in the transportation of Naboo prisoners to Trade Federation camps. He was disturbed when he discovered the presence of the Sith in the whole affair, when he saw Darth Maul with Gunray for the first time. When he learned of the Queen's escape, he felt that the invasion was a failure, but was pleased to learn later that the Senate had done nothing but deliberate.

When he heard that the Queen and the Jedi were returning to Naboo, Lektos began to feel optmistic, feeling that she would be captured and the invasion legitimised. He remained in Theed during this time, feeling that he would not need to go anywhere. He was horrified, however, when the droid control ship was destroyed, and later, along with Gunray and his aides, was tried for war crimes, but was found not guilty.
