The Trade Federation Advanced Droid Bomber was an experimental craft under stress test during the Battle of Naboo. While the Trade Federation had been using dedicated Droid Bombers throughout the campaign, they relied too heavily on the droid starfighter design and were too slow and ungainly for the sometimes-needed high-speed bombing runs. The Trade Federation engineers working with Xi Char began designing a new bomber specially engineered to perform high-speed bombing runs and assault missions.
The Advanced Droid Bomber is sleeker and more streamlined than the standard droid bomber, and has many other modifications. While constructed with a moderate amount of hull integrity, the Advanced Droid Bombers do not posess shields. Additionally, they no longer boast such a varied armament of weapons, instead relying solely on a payload of heavy proton missiles which serve a dual purpose as ground assault weapons, as well as anti-capital ship devices. While speedier and more maneuverable than the droid bomber, both varieties of ships were retained by the Trade Federation and used depending on which ship the mission parameters called for.
