Naboo Crisis

The Naboo Crisis was a conflict that occurred on the planet Naboo in the year 32 BBY. The conflict was fought by forces on Naboo and the Trade Federation.

The conflict began in 32 BBY when the Trade Federation invaded and occupied Naboo's capital city, Theed, following a blockade over the planet. The Federation attempted to force Queen Padmé Amidala into signing a treaty which would legalise their occupation of the planet. However, Amidala refused and escaped to Coruscant, seeking help from the Republic Senate.

While the Federation's representatives in the Senate did as much as they could to defend the invasion, the Federation had taken full control of the planet, even driving the Gungans out of the underwater Otoh Gunga City. During this time, the Viceroy of the Trade Federation, Nute Gunray became the de facto ruler over Naboo.

After getting no help from the Senate, Amidala returned to the planet and recruited the help of the Gungan Army. During the Battle of Naboo, Amidala and the Royal Naboo Security Forces were able to retake Theed Palace and capture the Federation leaders inside the throne room. The Federation blockade was also defeated after the destruction of the Vuutun Palaa, which deactivated the Droid Army.
