Gode Takrab was a male Neimoidian trade officer and holo faker working for the Trade Federation during the Naboo crisis of 32 BBY. Although the Federation had captured the planet Naboo, they still needed Queen Amidala to sign an agreement to legitimize their occupation, and she was reticent to do so. Takrab's superior, Rune Haako, ordered Takrab to forge Amidala's signature in an agreement, and to create a mock hologram of her. The Federation intended to send both counterfeits to Coruscant.
