Background: Lieutenant Arven Wendik was a male pilot for the Royal Space Fighter Corps of the Royal Naboo Security Forces on the planet Naboo during the Trade Federation’s occupation in 32 BBY. He was a part of Bravo Squadron, led by commander Ric Olié, along with fellow lieutenants Dineé Ellberger and Lutin Hollis. When the Trade Federation invaded Naboo, only a few pilots escaped capture. However, after Olié and Queen Padmé Amidala returned from seeking aid on Coruscant, they freed some of the captive pilots and formed a plan to retake Naboo with the help of the native Gungans.
While the Gungan Grand Army distracted the Trade Federation Droid Army, Amidala led a force including Wendik and the rest of Bravo Flight into Theed, the capital of Naboo. They used hidden passages to reach the Theed Hangar and destroyed the battle droids guarding it so they could launch the N-1 starfighters. Wendik piloted one of the starfighters as Bravo Flight left Naboo’s atmosphere to try and destroy the Vuutun Palaa, a Lucrehulk-class Battleship that controlled all of the Federation’s droid forces. During the battle, Wendik flew as Bravo 3 and engaged the vulture droids deployed by the battleship but couldn’t damage it due to its strong deflector shield.
Unexpectedly, the Trade Federation vessel began to detonate from within, which caused confusion among the pilots. Later, they learned that the young child Anakin Skywalker and the astromech droid R2-D2 had flown inside the Vuutun Palaa and destroyed it from within. Wendik spotted Skywalker’s fighter exiting the battleship before it exploded. After the ship’s destruction, the Federation’s droid forces on Naboo deactivated, leading to the liberation of the world and a victory over the Trade Federation.
