Resulting in his capture, theJedi Master was brought to theplanetSaleucami by the Kaleesh, with TV-94 accompanying the general aboard hisdestroyer, where they set a trap to lure the Republic to the Saleucami.

Shortly after arriving over Saleucami, Grievous'sfleet wasassaulted by a Republicfleet commanded byJedi GeneralObi-Wan Kenobi, withJedi KnightAnakin Skywalker not far behind him. Upon Kenobi's arrival, TV-94 was left in command of Grievous's flagship as the Kaleesh boarded Kenobi'sArquitens-class light cruiserSurrogator with the intent tokill his adversary. Not long after, the tacticaldroid was ambushed in an expected attack by Generals Skywalker andAdi Gallia aboard thebridge, which led to a small skirmish between the Jedi and severalBX-series droid commandos.

Biography[]

AfterGeneralGrievous hadcapturedJedi MasterEeth Koth,he held theJediprisoner aboard thebridge of aRecusant-class light destroyer, serving as the General'sflagship at thetime. TV-94 served as General Grievous' tactical advisor and second-in-command aboard theflagship. He informed Grievous that they had entered theSaleucami system.^[2]

Not long thereafter, theGalactic Republic launched amission to rescue Koth. ARepublic fleet arrived atSaleucami and engaged Grievous' fleet. TV-94 advised to be careful as the Republic'sVenator-class Star Destroyers were faster than their own. After it became clear thatJedi GeneralObi-Wan Kenobi was leading the Republicfleet Grievous quickly concluded that Kenobi was likely planning on distracting them whileAnakin Skywalker, who often fought beside Kenobi, would try to rescue Koth.^[2]

Grievous had Kenobi'scommand ship caught in atractor beam and theirships locked with a docking tube. Grievous went with a group ofMagnaGuards andbattle droids through the docking tube to board Kenobi's ship and face the Jedi Master, while leaving TV-94 in charge of the bridge and guarding Koth. Not long thereafter Skywalker and fellow JediAdi Gallia used ashuttle to secretly board Grievous' flagship. The two soon reached the bridge and confronted TV-94. Skywalker smiled because of their surprise element, but TV-94 simply replied that it was "not exactly" a surprise after which he had the Jedi surrounded byBX-series droid commandos. He went on to mock the Jedi on using an impressive, but nevertheless too predictable tactic.^[2]

TV-94 used a remote attached to his rightarm to deliver electric shockwaves to Koth and threatened to deliver afatal shockwave if Skywalker and Gallia moved one step closer. Skywalker, however, quickly pulled the droid towards him withthe Force and severed his right arm withhislightsaber. Thedroidcommandos then attacked the Jedi. During the fight TV-94 tried multiple times to retrieve his severed arm. He almost got it twice, but a droid commando accidentally kicked it away the first time and the second time he was knocked over by Gallia, who used the Force. He finally retrieved it after the Jedi had destroyed all the droids and prepared to deliver a fatal shockwave to Koth only to realize that while holding the remote in his single remaining arm he had no arm left to press the button. Skywalker then cut him in half, effectively destroying him.^[2]

Personality and traits[]

TV-94, even for his standard, was impressed by Grievous' prediction. He also expressed confusion after realizing that he could not press the button to kill Koth for lack of an arm.^[2]
