Battle of Naboo

The Battle of Naboo was an attempted invasion of Naboo carried out by the Trade Federation in the ten-year prelude to the Clone War. It was the first Galactic conflict of that scale for many years and the Galactic Republic was ill-equipped for dealing with the aggressive might of the Trade Federation.

The seeds for the Battle were sown when the Trade Federation blockaded the peaceful planet of Naboo to prevent Jar Jar Binks from ever escaping, but unfortunatly the people of Naboo took this the wrong way and started whinging to the Republic, saying that they should do something about it. The current Chancellor dispatched two Jedi (for some reason) in a big red ship called the Radiant VII. It flew into the hangar of the droid control ship, called the Saak'ak, and was immediately destroyed.

However, the two Jedi escaped, and after convincing TC-14 to let them see Nute Gunray, they attempted to cut through the doors to the Saak'ak bridge. The Jedi Master, Qui Gon Jinn, and his apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi, were driven back by droids and escaped to the surface of Naboo via transport craft. After finding the Queen of Naboo they fled the planet, and after stopping pointlessly on Tatooine to pick up Anakin Skywalker they eventually made it to Coruscant to tell the Senate.

However, the Senate wouldn't help them to they went back to Naboo to sort it all out. Jar Jar Binks and Boss Nass assembled an army of Gungans to fight the droids, Qui Gon and Obi Wan fought Darth Maul, the Queen tried to retake te throne room and Anakin went up into space to blow up the droid control ship. In conclusion, the Gungans were defeated by the droids and Jar Jar was captured, Qui Gon was killed by Maul who was then killed by Obi Wan, the Queen took the throne room and captured the Viceroy and Anakin blew up the droid control ship, thus freeing the Gungans and ending the Battle. Phew.

As Qui Gon was cremated, Yoda and Mace Windu discussed the future of both the Jedi and the Republic. Taking on Anakin Skywalker as a padawan was a dangerous move and they were astounded by the return of the Sith, but neither of them could predict that the Clone War was on its way...
