An unidentified Neimoidian aide served as a pilot onboard General Grievous's ship, the Invisible Hand.
Biography[]
The aide was stationed onboard the Invisible Hand during the Battle of Coruscant in the final days of the Clone Wars. When Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi boarded the ship to rescue Chancellor Palpatine, they arrived on the ship's bridge after killing Count Dooku. A battle started on the bridge which resulted General Grievous throwing an electrostaff at one of the ship's windows. This resulted in several things from the bridge being sucked into space. The aide, along with his captain and the other crew members ran from the bridge and into the escape pods.
The aide later accompanied the Separatist Council to Mustafar where they were contacted by their secret ally, Darth Sidious (who was in fact Chancellor Palpatine). Sidious told them that his new apprentice Darth Vader (Anakin Skywalker) was going to arrive and help them. But when Vader arrived, he ignited his lightsaber and sealed the exits in the bunker with the Force. The councillors soon realized that they were being betrayed and soon after the guards, two Neimoidian aides and Denaria Kee were murdered, the aide tried to flee with Passel Argente, Po Nudo and Nank Tun. The droid guarding the Neimoidian did little to stop his death and after destroying the droid, Vader stabbed the aide and soon killed Argente, Nudo and the other councillors.
