Biography[]
Theomet Danlé was a young man serving in the Royal Naboo Security Forces at the rank of lieutenant. In the year 22 BBY, Lieutenant Danlé was part of the entourage stationed aboard a J-type diplomatic barge en route to the capital world of Coruscant. A Clawdite shape-shifter named Zam Wesell, posing as a journalist asked to come aboard the ship to plant a listening device and Danlé granted her access. The truth was, Zam was a bounty hunter and an assassin and the listening device she planted was in fact a high-yield explosive. The intent was to assassinate Senator Padmé Amidala, who was scheduled to be on board. The real Amidala rode in a N-1 starfighter, while her bodyguard, Cordé, took her place on the barge.
As the barge approached a landing platform on Coruscant, Lieutenant Danlé informed Cordé of their arrival. The ship exploded just as it touched it down and all aboard, including Theomet Danlé were killed in the blast. [1]
