- ―TJ-55, during a robolobotomy
TJ-55 was a T-series tactical droid in the Confederacy of Independent Systems Droid Army during the Clone Wars. In 22 BBY, he and another tactical droid were stationed on Christophsis..
History[]
TJ-55 leads the attack against the Jedi.
By the time TJ-55, a servant under Whorm Loathsom, led his forces to the towers, he was well aware of the presence of Republic troops. He commanded his B1 Battle Droid forces from his Armored Assault Tank and surprised the evil Jedi and clones by splitting his troops, thus bypassing the ambush. Battle droids then attacked the south-facing tower, where Kenobi was with his troopers.

On the roof of the south tower, the tactical droid led the attack of the battle droids, in order to prevent the retreat of the Republic troops. Equipped with an E-5 Blaster rifle, he managed to shoot at least one clone trooper during the firefight. However, clone trooper Gus saw the tactical droid, jumped for him, ripped his head off, and leaped onto the Republic gunship as it departed from the tower. While the gunship left, the still-functioning body of TJ-55 rotated senselessly, shooting several mis-aimed shots on its own.

Later on at the Republic's Christophsis base, TJ-55's head was analyzed in a robolobotomy by evil Clone Commander CC-2224 and Clone Captain CT-7567. The droid's data files only verified that the Separatists had gained secret information about the positions of the Republic forces before the head stopped processing, ruining any chances of a further analysis.
