[R-16]: Tatooine (Mos Espa)
The young Human slave Anakin Skywalker has
been at work trying to fix a pit droid all day. His Toydarian slavemaster Watto
grows impatient and tries to finish the job himself, but when he accidentally
hits the high-output power source, the droid comes to life and begins to run
recklessly through his shop. The pit droid goes wild, knocking into walls and
mechanical parts. When Anakin and Watto try to stop it from causing more harm,
the pit droid runs out of the shop and into the busy streets of Mos Espa.
Racing blindly into the crowded streets, it is moving toward the market where
it crashes into Jira’s fruit stand. Anakin apologizes to Jira and then follows
Watto after the runaway droid into a café, where it knocks customers off their
cooling units. Leaving the café, the pit droid hops onto a swoop, leaving town
for the Mos Espa Arena where a big podrace is about to start.
Anakin and Watto manage to catch up with
the droid in the Mos Espa Arena’s main hangar, where it crashes into the pod of
Dug podracer Sebulba. When the pit droid runs into the arena, the crowd watches
the chase in amazement. Hutt crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure is angry, but the
crowd begins to bet on who will stop the pit droid: Anakin or Watto. Anakin
climbs up the edge of the arena where he waits until the pit droid is under
him: he jumps, lands on it and hits its nose, causing the droid to collapse.
Anakin and Watto unfold the pit droid and head back to the shop as the Mos Espa Arena crowds exchange their bet money and the Podracers go back to the practice. On their way back to Watto’s shop, the Toydarian slavemaster places his hand on Anakin’s shoulder, remarking that he is proud of him.
During the podrace, Sebulba causes another racer to crash. (note: the Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace novelization states that “The Dug had caused more than a dozen crashes of other Podracers in the past year alone”. I have placed the events of Star Wars Junior: Catch That Pit Droid! here as well, since they took place during a recent podrace)

Queen
Amidala awakens, remembering a dream about a dark force. In her dream, laser fire
flashed as she ran, her precious amulet, given to her by her father before she
became Queen, falling to the ground. Her hand goes to her throat, and Amidala
realizes that she has lost her amulet. Searching her memory where she could
have lost it, she does not notice that the Royal Handmaiden Sabé enters her
room. Asking what is wrong, Amidala tells Sabé that she has to dress and go out
to find her amulet before the rest of the Royal Palace awakens.
Amidala
and Sabé make their way swiftly through the quiet streets of Theed. Outside the
city, they stride through the tall grasses of the Naboo countryside, heading
for the meadow Amidala visited the day before. Finally they reach the spot, and
Amidala and Sabé begin to grope among the cool leaves at the base of a tall
tree. Sabé finds the amulet, and Amidala presses it gratefully between her
hands, mentioning that she knows she can always count on Sabé. They
hurry back towards the Royal Palace before the counselors discover that the
Queen is abroad without a full entourage.

up from behind and underneath, an illegal razor saw extended to sever Anakin’s
right Steelton control cable, and the young slave lifts away to safety before
the saw can do its damage. His escape costs Anakin the race.
During the race,
Ithorian podracer Regga is cut off by Dug podracer Sebulba, brushes the cliff
faces on either side and is killed. (note: the Star Wars Episode I: The

Naboo System: page 3)
03:03:16 Mid Rim [O-17]: in orbit around
Naboo
Following the Republic’s taxation of the
Outer and Mid Rim trade routes, the Trade Federation begins a blockade of the
Mid Rim world of Naboo. The Trade Federation hopes that the blockade will force
a settlement in their favor by bringing Naboo under their own military rule.
All they need to legitimize their occupation is to pressure the planet’s
monarch, Queen Amidala, into signing a peace treaty. Knowing that Amidala is
very young and has only recently been elected as her people’s ruler, the
Neimoidians anticipate that she will bow to pressure and sign a treaty that
will be accepted by the Galactic Senate.
The Trade Federation blockade is mounted
with an array of powerful automated weapons and begins with the deployment of
hundreds of enormous Hoersch-Kessel Driveworks Lucrehulk
LH-3210-class converted
freighters in orbit around Naboo. Together, these vessels from a grid, ranged
around the specialized Droid Control Ship Saak’ak that serves as the blockade’s nerve
center. From this ship, commanded by Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray, the
Trade Federation is able to direct the movement of its vast mechanized armies,
housed in the enormous hangars on the battleships.
One of the Trade Federation battleship
freighters takes up a guard position at the Trade Federation outpost on the
outskirts of the Naboo system. Its captain warns every trading-vessel entering
the area that the Trade Federation has blockaded Naboo to protest the illegal
taxes that the Republic has levied against the organization. He extends a
standard offer from the Trade Federation to purchase cargo bound for Naboo and
replace it with an outbound shipment. Those who agree to these terms are
directed to Trade Federation distribution center in the neighboring Enarc
system. Thus, the blockade prevents any offworld supplies from reaching the
world, and Naboo’s thriving trade business is effectively cut off. (note: the Star Wars Episode I: The
Phantom Menace novelization states that at the time of the movie, the
blockade had been in effect “for almost a month”)

Republic military intelligence
specialists analyze information received via the HoloNet node at Kwilaan
Starport on the Mid Rim world of Naboo, currently under a blockade by the Trade
Federation following the Republic’s taxation of the Outer and Mid Rim trade
routes between the star systems. The information indicates that the Trade
Federation has recently increased its presence in the Naboo system
dramatically, adding enough vessels to ensure an effective planetary blockade.
In accordance with typical Trade Federation practice, most of these new ships
appear to be Hoersch-Kessel Driveworks LH-3210-class freighters
converted into battleship-class vessels, including at least one Droid Control
Ship. According to the report, one of the battleship freighters has taken up a
guard position at the Trade Federation’s outpost on the outskirts of the
system.

03:03:22 Core Worlds [L-9]: Coruscant
(Galactic City)
Supreme Chancellor of the Republic
Finis Valorum receives the top-secret Situational Analysis in the Naboo
System report from Colonel Kaaver Tapps:
“As per your request,
sensor data has been subpoenaed from an ore hauler that has recently returned
from the TaggeCo mining installation in the Naboo system. The Republic military
intelligence specialists who subsequently analyzed this data package report
that its contents precisely match information previously received via the
HoloNet node at Naboo’s Kwilaan Starport. The output from both sources has been
archived in your personal database for you and your staff to review.
Both analyses indicate
that the Trade Federation has recently increased its presence in the Naboo
system dramatically, adding enough vessels to ensure an effective planetary
blockade. In accordance with typical Trade Federation practice, most of these
new ships appear to be freighters converted into battleship-class vessels,
including at least one Droid Control Ship. Another of these “freighters” has
taken up a guard position at the Trade Federation’s outpost on the outskirts of
the system. Its captain warns anyone entering the area that the Trade
Federation has blockaded Naboo to protest the illegal taxes that the Republic
has levied against the organization. He then extends a standard offer from the
Trade Federation to purchase cargo bound for Naboo and replace it with an
outbound shipment. Those who agree to these terms can make the cargo exchange at
a Trade Federeation distribution center in the Enarc system. So far, all
incoming pilots have accepted the offer.
According to the captain
of the ore hauler, Viceroy Nute Gunray heads up this fleet, and Captain Daultay
Dofine is in command of its flagship. These two are veteran Trade Federation
officers with extensive command experience, and they are well-known to both
Republic intelligence and the Sector Rangers. My staff can forward their full
dossiers to your office upon request.
Based on the captain’s
testimony and the sensor data, it appears that the Trade Federation has not yet
violated any Republic laws. The blockade fleet has not attacked any other
vessels, nor have its leaders taken any direct action against the people of
Naboo. This plus the experience of the officers in charge suggests that
negotiation remains a viable option. Since Neimoidians are by nature
conflict-adverse, a firm but polite argument presented by experienced diplomats
could almost certainly convince the commanders to lift the blockade. Even if
the Neimoidians prove recalcitrant, pointed reminders of the Battle of Ruusan
might cause them to rethink any blatant disregard of the Republic’s authority.”

03:03:24 Outer Rim Territories [R-16]:
Tatooine (Mos Espa)
early morning: The young slaveboy Anakin Skywalker is dreaming that
he is piloting a yellow podracer which speeds through the desert. His pod leaps
forward, flying past the other racers and screams across the finish line. As
the crowd cheers and lift Anakin onto their shoulders, a wise man and an angel
are waiting for him in the winner’s circle. As the Hutt crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure
raises the boy’s arm in victory, the cheers grow louder.
Then he hears his
mother’s voice calling him, and Anakin is surprised to find himself in bed. Shmi
calls out to her son, telling him not to be late for work. Anakin greets his
mother at the kitchen table, and when they enjoy their breakfast, he asks her
if angels exist.
Outside, Anakin meets up
with his best friend Kitster Banai, and they walk together through the Mos Espa
marketplace.
morning: When Anakin Skywalker
arrives at his master’s shop, the Toydarian tells him that he has a special
chore for him: Watto wants the boy to gather trade goods as there is a Jawa
sandcrawler at Mochot Steep. This particular sandcrawler has parts from Regga’s
pod, who crashed earlier [03:03:07]. Watto tells Anakin that he wants Regga’s thrusters, as they could give
us an edge and cause Anakin to win a podrace.
Excited about the trip,
Anakin Skywalker rushes outside to attach a battered float sled to Watto’s
landspeeder. He looks around for stuff to take with him to trade and drags a
set of hydrospanners, some spare droid parts, some motivators, and an old
vaporator cylinder onto the sled. Finally, he adds a few jerikans of store
water for the drive across the desert.
Anakin drives he speeder
through the crowded streets of Mos Espa, pulling up to his secret hiding place
behind Slave Quarters Row where he and his mother live. An unfinished protocol
droid leans against his other secret project: a half-finished podracer with
only one engine.
early day:Arriving at Mochot Steep, Anakin Skywalker
notices a lone sandwalker at the rock formation’s base. Several droids, including
a DUM-4, are lined up for trade, but he cannot make out any podracer parts.
After talking with the Jawa clan-leader, Anakin’s unfinished protocol droid
informs his master that they do have the thrusters from Regga’s crashed
podracer, but they want a large sum of credits for it. Offering both the
motivator and the hydrospanners in trade, Anakin cannot get the Jawas to change
their minds. A Jawa tugs at his shirt, pointing at a few jerikans filled with
water strapped to Watto’s landspeeder, indicating that he wants those. The
young slave boy, not understanding why the Jawas would want water enough to
make a bad deal, picks up the vaporator cylinder from Watto’s sled, and shows
it to the Jawas. The Jawas begin to chatter and wave their arms, and the protocol
droid learns that the moisture vaporator in the sandcrawler has broken down,
and that the Jawas need replacement parts. Anakin proposes to make their vaporator work
again in exchange for the rest of Regga’s podracer. The Jawa clan-leader
agrees, and Anakin goes to work on the vaporator. After a while, he activates
the replacement cylinder, and within a few minutes, fresh water is dripping
into the Jawas’ jerikans.
Returning to his
landspeeder, Anakin Skywalker sees that a group of Jawas is already loading
Regga’s thrusters onto the float sled. As they had agreed upon, the Jawas give
him the rest of the podracer too, including an engine. Anakin Skywalker is
thrilled, as the podracer he is secretly building at his slave quarters in Mos
Espa still lacks an engine.
evening: Returning in Mos Espa, Anakin
Skywalker first goes by his home to hide the podracer engine and to bring back
his protocol droid. He then drives to Watto’s shop. The Toydarian slavemaster
is besides himself when he sees the thrusters, not believing that the Jawas
would trade such a worthless vaporator cylinder for these fine parts. He tells
Anakin to put those thrusters on his podracer tomorrow, as the slave boy will
be flying in the next race.

[R-16]: Tatooine (Mos Espa)
day: Toydarian slavemaster
Watto leaves his shop to head out to the Mos Espa Arena to watch and bet on the
podraces.
The Dug podracer Sebulba
blasts a pit droid because it is not moving quickly enough. Watto quickly
gathers the remains to take back to his shop, as he wants to repair the droid.
midday: A podrace is in
progress. After an unusual quick start, the young Human slave Anakin Skywalker
is in the lead, until he is overtaken by the Dug podracer Sebulba. Nearing Arch
Canyon, an expanse of rock leading into Jag Crag Gorge, three other Podracers,
Mawhonic, Gasgano, and Rimkar, are closing in on Anakin. Although Ark “Bumpy”
Roose tries to catch up, he fails. Seconds before they enter the cleft, Rimkar
dangerously accelerates and overtakes Anakin. As the racers head for Metta
Drop, Anakin starts closing in on Sebulba and Rimkar, drawing away from
Mawhonic and Gasgano. He is even when they reach Metta Drop and rockets over
and tumbles straight down. When Sebulba pulls out of the drop early, Anakin is
surprised, but then he feels the backwash of the Dug’s split-X engines hammer
into his Pod. The treacherous Sebulba had only looked as if he would pull out
and instead had lifted away and then deliberately fishtailed atop both Anakin
and Rimkar, using his exhaust to slam them against the cliff face. Rimkar,
caught completely by surprise, jams his thruster bars forward in an automatic
repsonse that takes him right into the mountain. Anakin, acting on instinct, lifts out of his
own descent and away from the mountain, almost colliding with a surprised
Sebulba who veers off wildly to save himself. Anakin knows that his race is
over as he strikes the ground in a bone-wrenching skid that severes both
Steelton control cables of his podacer, the big engines flying off in two
directions. The young slave loosens his restraining belt and climbs out,
knowing that his slave master, Watto, will not be happy. A few minutes later, a
landspeeder comes along to pick up the stranded youngster, bringing him back to
the settlement of Mos Espa. Droids will arrive later to return the damaged
podracer to Watto’s shop in Mos Espa.
late day: Anakin Skywalker gets
scolded by his Toydarian slave master for wrecking his podracer in the race. In
his rage, Watto yells that he should not let young Skywalker drive for him
anymore. Shmi Skywalker, the boy’s mother, jumps in and agrees. Caught
off-guard, Watto turns his attention to Anakin again, ordering him to begin
repairing the ruined podracer immediately.
Sighing in frustration, young Anakin goes
out the back of the shop into the yard. His mother tells him that she will wait
with dinner until he arrives. Scanning the damaged podracer, Anakin beckons
some mechanic droids to remove the damaged parts of the racer. The boy is only
minutes into sorting through the scrap when he realizes there are parts he
needs that Watto does not have at hand, including thermal varistats and
thruster relays. Before he can start on a reassembly of the podracer, he has to
trade for the parts from one of the other shops.
evening: Anakin Skywalker is still working on the crashed podracer as his
friends Kitster Banai and Wald slip through a narrow gap at the fence corner
where the wire had failed. The two youngsters convince Anakin to join them for
a ruby bliel. They go out through the gap in the fence and down the road behind
until they reach a crowded plaza. After getting some ruby bliels, the boys take
their drinks and make their way slowly back down the street, chatting about
racers, speeders and starfighters, vowing that one day they will all be pilots.
While right in the middle of a
heated discussion over the merits of starfighters, an old spacer leaning on a
speeder hitch tells them that if he had the choice, he would take a Z-95
Headhunter. The boys see that the spacer wears a small, worn Republic fighter
corps insignia on his tunic and stop to listen to the spacer’s tales. He tells
them he flew everything there was to fly until six standard years ago when he left
the corps. The old spacer buys them a new ruby bliel and they walk to a quiet
spot off the plaza where they stand sipping at the bliels and staring up at the
sky. The spacer tells them that he once flew a cruiser filled with Republic
soldiers into Makem Te during its rebellion, and that he once transported Jedi
Knights too. He tells young Anakin that he has watched him in the podrace and
that he can become a great pilot one day.
(note: Star
Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace novelization states that these events
occur “a little more than a week after the Podrace and the encounter with the
old spacer”. I ommit the Star Wars Episode I: Anakin Skywalker comment
about how Anakin crashed his “podracer in last month’s race”. I decided to add
the events of Star Wars Junior: Droids Everywhere to this day. And the Star
Wars: Podracing Tales online comics mentioned that Anakin “nearly bested
Bumpy Roose in the last race”, so I added him in here as well)

his Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi, already familiar with the background of the

1. Star Wars Roleplaying Game: Secrets of Naboo (Naboo Source Section – A Letter from Chancellor
Valorum: pages 2 & 3)
03:04:12 Core Worlds [L-9]: Coruscant
(Galactic City)
After weeks of debating by the Galactic
Senate about the Trade Federation’s blockade of the Mid Rim world of Naboo,
still no progress has been made to find an amicable way to resolve the dispute.
Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum, feeling responsible after an earlier
communique with Queen Amidala of Naboo who holds him responsible for the crisis
[03:04:10], secretly requested that the
Jedi Council, without Senatorial approval, send two Jedi directly to the
ostensible initiators of the blockade, the Neimoidians, in an effort to resolve
the matter more directly [03:04:11]. The
Jedi involved are Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi,
already familiar with the background of the situation. After the Jedi Council
grants permission, and Qui-Gon agrees to the mission, Finis Valorum sends them
a dossier on Naboo, the native Gungans and the Trade Federation. The Supreme
Chancellor also sends the following ‘your eyes only’ letter to Qui-Gon:
re: Your Diplomatic Mission to the
Naboo System
My Dear Friend,
Thank you for agreeing to come to
the aid of the Republic yet again. In these troubled times, it seems that we
must call upon your wisdom and experience more and more frequently. Never doubt
our appreciation of your efforts.
You have undoubtedly heard about the
“secret army” that the Neimoidians have been using to such great effect against
pirates and smuggling rings for several standard months now. I’m sure you are
also aware of the current dispute over whether the Republic has the legal
authority to tax trade routes in the Outer Rim Territories. What you may not
have heard is that the Neimoidians have recently brought their military might
to bear on that very issue by blockading the sovereign system of Naboo – a
member in good standing of the Republic.
The Naboo have long been recognized as
the dominant sapients of their system. Though both TaggeCo and the Trade
Federation have maintained commercial interests in that region for some years,
neither has ever challenged Naboo control over the star system itself – until
now. A standard Trade Federation battle fleet has effectively sealed the planet
off from all commerce.
The unapologetic stance of Lott Dod,
the Trade Federation’s representative in the Senate, makes escalation of this
situation very likely. If armed conflict occurs, the added strain on the
galactic community could jeopardize everything the Senate and the Jedi have
worked so hard to achieve. In a best-case scenario, it would serve to undermine
the authority of the Republic in the outlying sectors even further. (As you
know, we have been facing a growing number of challenges to Republic authority
in recent years.) In a worst-case scenario, worlds with and without
representation in the Senate might choose to bypass the procedures that have
kept the galaxy at peace for centuries and try to settle their disputes on the
field of battle.
Hyperbole, you say? Perhaps. But
there is something in the air here on Coruscant – something unpleasant. I
haven’t been able to identify any
specific problem, but Senator Palpatine recently approached me with some
concerns that echoed my own. I am loath to base my judgment on such vague
impressions, since they may be nothing more than the delusion of two veteran
soldiers who have grown too old for battle. But neither do I want to dismiss
the possibility that this Naboo incident may be a calculated move to achieve a
greater political (or even martial) end.
I will be calling a special session
of the Senate to discuss the blockade of Naboo and the Trade Federation’s
opposition to the taxes being levied against trade routes.
Needless to say, I would prefer to
chair that session without Trade Federation battleships poised to rain death
upon the innocent people of Naboo. I need to have as strong a bargaining
position as possible. To that end, I am asking you to travel to Naboo and meet
with Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray, commander of the blockading fleet.
As my personal representatives, perhaps you and your Padawan can lay the
foundation for an agreement before the session even begins. I am once again placing
the ship Radiant VII at your disposal. As you know, her captain is well versed
in dealing with sensitive matters such as this.
I have told no one save you, the
captain, and a few trusted members of my staff that I intend to open diplomatic
talks via ambassadors. It is my hope that the unexpected involvement of the
Jedi will not only shake the confidence of the Neimoidians involved in the
blockade, but also cause the hidden hand that I sense here on Coruscant to move
too quickly and thus become visible.
I have asked my most trusted aide to
assemble the following dossier. The information therein should help you
negotiate successfully with all potential interested parties. The attached data
files contain an overview of Naboo, its system, and the current situation. You
will also find detailed information about the Trade Federation, the
Neimoidians, and Naboo’s two resident sapient species, plus data on the native
flora and fauna of the planet.
I have complete faith in your
ability to bring this incident to a peaceful conclusion. I have informed the
Jedi Council of my request for your service and provided its leaders with a
brief explanation of the mission, in accordance with protocol. May the Force be
with you.
Finis Valorum

midmorning: Toydarian slave master Watto summons his young
slave Anakin Skywalker into his junk shop, telling him to take a speeder out to
the Dune Sea to do some trading with the Jawas, who are offering a number of
droids for sale. After picking up C-3PO, the protocol droid he is
reconstructing in his bedroom work area, Anakin steers his speeder out from Mos
Espa.
midday: After driving for about two standard hours,
Anakin Skywalker and his droid reach the edge of the Dune Sea. Realizing that
the meeting with the Jawas is already in place, arranged by Watto the day
before by transmitter, Anakin hastes ahead through the midday heat, until he
finally reaches Mochot Steep, a singular rock formation about halfway across
the sea.
The Jawas are already waiting for
him, their sandcrawler parked in the shadow of the Steep. The droids they wish
to trade are lined up at the end of the crawler’s ramp. Anakin parks his
speeder, activates his protocol droid and orders it to follow him. When the
bartering is completed, Anakin has traded a little more than half of what he
had brought as barter for two mechanic droids in excellent condition, three
more multipurpose droids that are servicable, and a damaged hyperdrive
converter that he could put back into service in no time. Then he notices a
tarnished vocoder plate which would fit C-3PO perfectly and places it in his
cart, not knowing that a Jawa trader watches and realizes how much his young
client wants the part. Asking for the final price, the Jawas charge 1500 wupiupi,
500 more than Watto had given him. One of the Jawas comes forward and takes the
vocoder out of the cart, telling him that without that part, it will be 1000
wupiupi. Realizing he is being played, Anakin drops the entire basket and turns
to go: he will not play the game, even if it means returning empty-handed and
facing punishment from Watto. One of the Jawas races after him, informing him
that the final price will be 1250 wupiupi. Anakin spins around, faces the Jawa
and somehow projects his thoughts onto them. The Jawa backs away and agrees to
the price of 1000 wupiupi.
There was no float shed to be had,
so Anakin lines up the newly purchased droids behind the speeder, placing C-3PO
in the rear passenger compartment to keep an eye on them, and sets off for Mos
Espa.
After crossing the central flats and
climbing the slow rise to Xelric Draw, a shallow, widemouthed canyon that split
the Mospic High Range just inside the lip of the Dune Sea, the speeder eases
into the canyon. A short time later, Anakin sees a Tusken Raider lying crumpled
on the ground, half-buried by a pile of rocks close against the cliff face. A
fresh scar slicing down from the cliff face bore evidence of a slide: the
Raider had probably been hiding above when the rock gave way beneath his feet
and buried him in the fall. While C-3PO warns him of the danger, Anakin stops
to check the situation out. When the wounded Tusken Raider looks up at him,
Anakin sets the droids to work to clear away the debris. The Tusken Raider is
awake briefly, but then lapses back into unconsciousness. Anakin checks the
Tusken Raider out: the leg pinned by the boulder is smashed, the bones broken
in several places. Anakin realizes he has spent too much time freeing the
Tusken Raider to reach Mos Espa before nightfall: he decides to set up camp
under the lee of a cliff face.
evening: After a long while, the Tusken Raider awakens.
He regards Anakin for a long minute, then slowly eases into a sitting position.
Anakin and C-3PO try a dozen different approaches at conversation, but the
Tusken Raider ignores them all. But a while later, the Tusken Raider speaks,
and C-3PO translates that the wounded youngster is asking what Anakin is going
to do with him. Looking confused at the Tusken Raider, Anakin replies that all
he is trying to do is help him get well. Suddenly, Anakin realizes that the
Tusken Raider is afraid of him.
Finally, Anakin falls asleep and
dreams of strange things: once he was a Jedi Knight, fighting against things so
dark and insubstantial he could not identify them; once he was a pilot of a
star cruiser, taking the ship into hyperspace, spanning whole star systems on
his voyage; once he was a great and feared Jedi commander of an army, and he
came back to Tatooine with ships and troops at his command to free the planet’s
slaves. His mother is waiting for him, smiling, arms outstretched. But when he
tries to embrace her, she vanishes. (note: the Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace novelization states
that these events occured “a little more than a week” after the podrace in
which Anakin Skywalker wrecked his podracer. I decided to include the
vocoder-part from the A.L. Singer books here, because those events happened
around this time when Anakin was bartering with Jawa traders)

The small Republic cruiser Radiant
VII approaches the Mid Rim world of Naboo, which is under a blockade by
countless Trade Federation fleet ships in protest of Republic-imposed
taxation on the Outer and Mid Rim trade routes. The cruiser’s captain makes
contact with the Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray, asking permission to
board as they carry two ambassadors for the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic,
wishing to intermediate in the current stand-off. The Neimoidian Viceroy gives
permission, and the Radiant VII starts its approach to the giant
converted Hoersch-Kessel Drive Lucrehulk LH-3210-class cargo freighter Saak’ak.
Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi prepare themselves for
the mission. Radiant VII docks in the cargo hold, and Qui-Gon and
Obi-Wan are greeted by TC-14, and led to an empty conference room, while two
worker droids PK-4 and EG-9 watch. The protocol droid tells them that Viceroy
Nute Gunray will be with them shortly.
On the bridge of the Trade Federation
vessel, Nute Gunray and his Lieutenant, Captain Daultay Dofine, are shocked to
learn that the Republic’s ambassadors are Jedi. Dofine summons Settlement
Officer Rune Haako, the third member of their delegation, and they contact
their secret client, Darth Sidious, on Coruscant.

03:04:14 Mid Rim [O-17]: in orbit around Naboo
After breaking off communication, Nute
Gunray orders Haako to have the Republic ship in their hangar blown up while he
will send in a squad of B1-series battle droids to the Jedi to finish them off.
Protocol droid TC-14 returns to the
conference room to offer the Jedi ambassadors a refreshment. Talking about the
situation, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are rocked by an explosion, and the Jedi sense
that the Trade Federation has destroyed their ship, the
Radiant VII. Qui-Gon glances
around and notices the deadly gas dioxis entering the room from the air vents
near the doorway.
On the bridge of the Saak’ak, Nute
Gunray and Settlement Officer Rune Haako see on a viewscreen how a squad of B1-series battle
droids march into the hallway just outside the conference room in which the
Jedi are trapped. Blasters held at the ready, battle droid OWO-1 opens the door
and TC-14 comes stumbling out. In the next instant, the Jedi appear, charging
from the room with lightsabers flashing, destroying most of the battle droids,
including OWO-1.
The Trade Federation officials watch in
horror as they see their battle droids being destroyed, and Viceroy Nute Gunray
orders to seal off the bridge. Moments later, the Jedi are standing in the
hallway outside the bridge, dispatching the last of the battle droids that
stand in their way. Watching as Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn begins cutting through
the bridge door with his lightsaber, Nute Gunray calls for droidekas. The
bridge’s blast doors close, and the Trade Federation crew stands transfixed as
on the viewscreen the Jedi continue their attack, lightsabers cutting at the
massive doors, melting away the steelcrete.
Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn’s instincts warn
him of the impending arrival of droidekas, as in the hallway just beyond the
area in which the Jedi fight, ten of the destroyer droids, led by P-59, unfold.
Skittering around the final corner to the bridge entry, the droidekas trigger
their blasters, filling the area with a deadly cross-fire. When their lasers go
still, the droidekas advance, searching for their prey. But the anteway is
empty and the Jedi are gone. On the bridge, the Trade Federation officials
relax as the droidekas find no trace of the two Jedi, who have climbed up the
ventilation shaft.
On the bridge, Tey How informs Nute Gunray
of an incoming holomessage from Queen Amidala of Naboo. She informs the
Neimoidian leader that the Trade Federation’s trade boycott of Naboo has ended
as she has received word that the Galactic Senate on Coruscant is finally
voting on the matter. She also mentions that she is aware of the ambassadors
sent by Supreme Chancellor of the Republic Finis Valorum to intermediate in the
conflict. Nute denies knowledge of any such ambassadors, and Amidala breaks
contact. Nute Gunray tells Rune Haako that they have to move quickly to disrupt
all communications on Naboo until the invasion is finished.

03:04:14 Mid Rim [O-17]: Naboo (Theed)
In the Throne Room of the Royal Palace,
Governor Sio Bibble notices that Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray seemed
unconcerned about the Jedi ambassadors, and he warns Queen Amidala that this
implied that the Neimoidian has something up his sleeve. When Amidala contacts
Senator Palpatine on Coruscant, he reassures them that the ambassadors have
been sent. When the holographic image of Palpatine suddenly breaks off, Captain Panaka of the Naboo security
forces learns that their communications are disrupted. Sio Bibble remarks that
this can only mean one thing: invasion.

1. Star Wars Episode I Journal: Darth Maul (Entry Two: pages
9 – 16)
03:04:14 Core Worlds [L-9]: Coruscant (Galactic City)
Darth Maul, Sith apprentice to Dark Lord
of the Sith Darth Sidious, returns to his training room and activates a panel to
look out over Galactic City. His glance goes towards the direction of the Jedi
Temple, and Darth Maul rejoices in the knowledge that the Jedi sit and meditate
while they act right under there noses, invisible to them thanks to his
master’s dark side powers. Maul is not able to calm his mind, He knows that if
the Neimoidians in charge of the blockade of the Mid Rim world of Naboo fail to
kill the two Jedi counsilors send by the Republic to mediate, he will be called
into service, a moment he has been waiting for all his life. Going against the
Jedi will be his ultimate test.
Feeling some fatigue and hunger, Darth
Maul activates three assassin droids as he powers up his double-bladed
lightsaber. Meeting the first barrage, Darth Maul deflects it with his lightsaber.
Feeling the power of the dark side, he easily destroys the first two droids.
The third droid swivels and instead of coming directly at him, it wheels to the
right. Maul feels a start of surprise as this is a new maneuver of the droid,
which is continually reprogrammed. Thinking about the mission against the Jedi,
the assassin droid manages to hit Maul’s sleeve with his blaster. Angry that he
let himself be distracted, Darth Maul strikes one hard blow to the left flank
of the droid, destroying it.
Suddenly, Darth Maul’s lightsaber
flies from his hand across the room into the hands of his master, Darth
Sidious. Sidious reminds Maul that he should be on guard all the time. The
lightsaber whirls in the air, twirling, hold in Sidious’ hand, who moves faster
than Darth Maul’s eyes can follow. The lightsaber traces the outline of Darth
Maul’s body, his hands, and his face. One flinch, and the Sith apprentice is
killed. At last, Darth Sidious deactivates the weapon, tossing it towards his
apprentice. He tells Darth Maul not to let him see him relax his guard again. He warns him that although he is
valuable, he is not indispensable.

03:04:14 Outer Rim Territories [R-16]:
Tatooine
early morning: Anakin Skywalker is still dreaming in the make-shift
camp he set up in the Dune Sea’s Mospic High Range after helping out a wounded
young Tusken Raider the day before. There are Sand People in his dreams,too: a
handful of them, standing before him with their blaster rifles and long gaffi
sticks lifted and held ready. They regard him in silence, as if wondering what
they should do with him.
Anakin awakens, jarred from his
sleep by an unmistakable sense of danger, and he finds himself confronted by
the Sand People of his dreams. The Tusken Raiders encircle him completely, and
Anakin realizes that he is helpless and can do nothing but wait to see what
their intention is. Through a gap in the ranks, he can just make out a figure
being lifted and carried away: it was the Tusken Raider he had rescued, who is
speaking to his people. The other Tusken Raiders hesitate, then slowly back
away. Several seconds later, they are all gone.
Climbing to his feet, Anakin glances
about quickly and sees that his speeder and the droids obtained from the Jawas
sit undisturbed beneath the overhang. He tells his protocol droid C-3PO that
they should go home. (note: Star Wars: The Rise and Fall of Darth Vader states that
these events occur the day before “a Naboo starship landed on Tatooine, and
Anakin’s life was changed forever”)

early morning: A group of freelance operatives seeking
passage off the blockaded world of Naboo have booked passage on the Crescent, a
passenger freighter captained by Nuun Pargen of Alderaan. But just after Nuun
takes off, Trade Federation droid starfighters fire on the Crescent, along
with several other ships that are attempting to leave the world. Nuun Pargen
manages to make an emergency landing on the Great Grass Plains, outside the
city of Theed, but his young daughter, Inea, is wounded in the attack.
After stabilizing Inea, it is
apparent that she needs more than the Crescent has
in the way of medical supplies to make a full recovery. Nuun asks the freelance
operatives to fetch the necessary supplies from Theed while he watches over her
and makes repairs on the ship.

03:04:14 Mid Rim [O-17]: Naboo
early morning: Six Haor Chall Engineering C-9979-class landing ships from the Trade
Federation settle on the Mid Rim world of Naboo. One set of three moves away
from the others, dropping silently through the clouds, landing near a vast
swamp. Their cargo doors open to release a vast array of Baktoid Armour
Workshop MTT transports onto the surface. The dozens of transports filled with
Baktoid Combat Automata B1-series battle droids and AAT batte tanks move into place in front of
the giant landing craft. Slowly, the Trade Federation transports begin to advance
as countless STAP Single Trooper Aerial Transports begin to scout the
surrounding area. Animals of all shapes and sizes begin to scatter from their
places of concealment; Ikopi, fulumpasets, motts and peko pekos all search for
safety.
Commanding B1-series battle droid OOM-9 informs Trade
Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray and Settlement Officer Rune Haako that the
invasion force is preparing to march toward Naboo’s cities. He reports that
there is no trace of the Jedi which might have stowed away on the landing
vessels.
As the Trade Federation invasion force
begins to advance, Jedi Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi emerges from the still waters of
a swamp. Looking for his Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, who had also stowed away on
a Trade Federation landing craft, he dodges a pair of Trade Federation B1-series battle
droids attacking him on STAP. When he wants to activate his lightsaber, he
notices that it has shorted out in the water as he had left the power on. Using
his comlink to home in on Qui-Gon, he sets off for his Jedi Master.
Nearby, Qui-Gon Jinn emerges from the
still waters of a swamp. Looking for Obi-Wan, he dodges frightened creatures
stampeding all around him searching for safety. He picks up his pace as the
dark shadow of an MTT transport appears out of the mist directly behind
him. Running out of firm ground and searching for a way past a large lake, he
notices a strange creature before him, squatting in the water, its rubbery body
crouched over a shell it had just pried open, its long tongue licking out the insides.
Casting aside the empty shell, it rises to face Qui-Gon, taking in the Jedi
Master and the animals about him, then seeing clearly for the first time the
massive shadow from which they fled. The being panicks and cries for help as
the MTT
thunders toward them. The being bears down on Qui-Gon as he fights to break
free of the creature clinging to him, dragging it sideways in a futile effort
to escape. Finally, with the transport only meters away, the Jedi Master pushes
him into the shallow water and sprawls facedown on top of it. The Trade
Federation transport passes over them and when it is safe again, they get up.
The being begins kissing the Jedi Master out of gratitude, and introduces
itself as the Gungan male Jar Jar Binks.
The swamp reverberates with the sound of STAPs, and Qui-Gon
pulls free his lightsaber, pushing Jar Ja aside. Suddenly, he sees Obi-Wan, who
used his comlink to home in on the Jedi Master, approaching, followed by the STAPs. The B1-series battle
droids open fire, but Qui-Gon manages to deflect them back, resulting in the
explosion of the scout vehicles. Jar Jar Binks thanks Qui-Gon for saving him
again, and the Jedi Master introduces the Gungan to Obi-Wan.
Ready to move on, Jar Jar Binks mentions
that the safest place to be right now is the underwater Gungan city of Otoh
Gunga. Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn asks Jar Jar to lead them there, and although
the Gungan has apparently been banished from the city, he finally agrees to
lead them.
As the Trade Federation invasion force
advances on to the cities of Naboo, Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi follow Jar
Jar Binks into the water of Lake Paonga. The Jedi take out portable breathing
devices and dive underwater. After a while, the underwater Gungan city of Otoh
Gunga comes into view, and Jar Jar swims towards one of its larger bubbles. He
pushes at it with his hands, and the bubble swallows him whole, closing behind
him without rupturing. Amazed, the Jedi follow and once inside, they find
themselves on a platform that leads down to a square surrounded by buildings.
As the Jedi and Jar Jar Binks
descend to the square below, Gungans begin to catch sight of them and scatter
with small cries of alarm. A squad of uniformed Gungan soldiers appears, riding
two-legged kaadu. Jar Jar greets the leader of the squad, Captain Tarpals, who
takes him into custody to take to Boss Nass, the Gungan leader. The Jedi follow
into the High Tower Boardroom, occupied by Gungan officials in their robes of
office, with Boss Nass occupying the highest seat. He asks what the outlanders
are doing in Otoh Gunga, and Jar Jar begins to relate why they have come to the
underwater city. But Bos Nass mentions that what happens on the surface is not
of their concern. Obi-Wan tells the Gungan leader that once the Trade Federation
has taken control of Naboo, Otoh Gunga is sure to follow. Before Obi-Wan can
conintue his argument, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn uses the Force to make Boss
Nass set them free and provide them with a transport. Nass complies and offers
them the use of a Gungan bongo. Realizing they do not know the way, Qui-Gon
asks Boss Nass if they can take Jar Jar along. Boss Nass refuses, telling the
Jedi Master that Binks has broken too many laws. But when Qui-Gon mentions that
Jar Jar owes him a life debt, Boss Nass has no other choice than to let the
Gungan go with the Jedi.

mention that the Jedi ambassadors, sent by Supreme Chancellor of the Republic
Finis Valorum to resolve the blockade of Naboo, managed to escape. The

Rune Haako, that he has the Galactic Senate on Coruscant bogged down in
procedures, and that by the time this incident comes up for a vote, they will

Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, his Padawan
Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the Gungan male Jar Jar Binks are seated in a Gungan bongo,
a little submarine which propels itself away from the underwater city of Otoh
Gunga. Jar Jar veers the craft to the left and turns the lights on, displaying
grand coral vistas. Suddenly, there is a loud crash and the bongo lurches to
one side. A huge opee sea killer has hooked the bongo with its long tongue.
Qui-Gon orders Jar Jar to move with full speed ahead. But instead of full
ahead, the Gungan accidentally jams the controls in reverse, causing the bongo
to fly into the mouth of the creature. Obi-Wan takes over the controls and the
opee sea killer instantly releases the bongo from its mouth.
As the bongo speeds away, a larger set of
jaws is moving in on them, belonging to a sando aqua monster. But the sea
creature grabs the opee sea killer instead. Water is leaking into the cabin,
causing the power system to collapse. Jar Jar starts to panic as a giant colo
claw fish emerges right in front of them. Obi-Wan manages to restore the power.
The colo claw fish is surprised and rears back as the bongo turns around and
speeds away. Qui-Gon puts his hand on the panicking Gungan’s shoulder, and Jar
Jar relaxes into a coma. The colo claw fish leaps after the fleeing bongo and
flies directly into the path of the sando aqua monster, which attacks the fish.
The bongo speeds away, heading for the city of Theed.

03:04:14 Mid Rim [O-17]: Naboo (Theed)
dawn: Long columns of the Trade Federation’s droid army
move down the main road leading to Theed. The invasion force that advances upon
the planet’s capital consists of 33 Multi-Troop Transports, each carrying 112 B1-series battle
droids, adn 342 AAT battle tanks, as well as droid starfighters and
infantry. Each vehicle and battle droid is pre-programmed with a ground map of
the city, with specific instructions for key objectives.
Entering Theed, the army of B1-series battle
droids begins to move through the streets towards the Royal Palace. The Naboo
react with a mixture of courage, fear, determination, and panic. Pitifully
small squads of the Naboo Royal Security Forces
struggle valiantly to defend the surface routes to the Royal Palace and buy
time so that groups of refugees can find safe ways out of the city. However,
the Trade Federation is jamming ground communication, and the defenders have no
idea whether they are making progress or not.
A group of freelance operatives, who had
booked passage on the passenger freighter Crescent, are in Theed to get medical supplies for
Captain Nuun Pargen’s wounded daughter Inea. Just as they are leaving the Theed
med center, they hear the sound of distant fighting. Apparently, the battle
droids reached the city sooner than anticipated. The operatives plan to get
their two boxes of medical supplies out of Theed as quickly and quietly as
possible. As they try to leave the city, they come upon a small group of
refugees making their way out of the city. The group is heading for Theed’s
main avenue, hoping to slip out quietly before the droid army arrives, and
invites the operatives to join them.
In a courtyard just off the main street,
the group encounters several well-dressed Naboo who are piling their
possessions onto an already overloaded speeder. The freelance operatives manage
to rearrange the luggage, and the family of five is grateful for their
assistance, telling them that the invasion force is so close, the only possible
way to get out of the city is to take a speeder upriver and make for the Great
Grass Plains.
A group of students from the Royal House
of Learning, Rann I-Kanu, Rorworr and his droid TDO-2, Dané, Arani Korden, Deel
Surool, Galak and Sia-Lan Wezz, are walking through the streets when the
invasion army enters Theed. A squad of B1-series battle droids and a droideka
closes in on them, and open fire. The students return fire, while Deel tries to
pick the Theedcon X27 lock of a nearby building. The group enters the building
to hide. Afterwards they run towards a nearby flash speeder and manage to evade
capture.
As the Trade Federation army advances,
Theed becomes a confused mass of fleeing refugees, shouting citizens, screaming
children, and frightened animals. Some people are making for the roads out of
the city, and others are hurrying to fight. A few are even prepared to
surrender in the hope that, as prisoners, they can at least remain with their
loved ones. The sky overhead is full of ships making for other parts of the
planet. Some people are even taking landspeeders out over the Solleu River or
along the cliff edge, seeking whatever safety they can find, as the Trade
Federation’s battle droids arrest and imprison everyone they encounter. The
invaders are holding the captives in an abandoned building just off Theed’s central
plaza until they can finish setting up their prison camps.
As the Trade federation’s army of battle
droids begins to move toward the Royal Palace, the Naboo react with a mixture
of courage, fear, determination, and panic. Pitifully small squads of the Naboo
Royal Security Forces struggle to defend the surface routes to the Royal Palace
and to buy time so that groups of refugees can find safe ways out of the city.
The Trade Federation has already captured hundreds of Theed’s citizens.
The group of freelance operatives from the
passenger freighter Crescent see a squad of B1-series battle droids marching several
Naboo prisoners through the streets, escorting them to a detention center.
The intricate ceremonial gates of Theed
stand wide open. Waves of battle droids, battle tanks, and troops transports
are pouring across the main bridge and moving along the Main Boulevard toward
the Royal Palace. The battle droid army has already defeated the city’s small
contingent of defenders, and squads of battle droids are herding prisoners off
to a waiting transport.
From the Royal Palace, where troops stand
guard at every door, Queen Amidala watches helplessly from a window as a
transport, carrying Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray and Settlement Officer
Rune Haako, lands in Theed Plaza. Behind the doors of the Queen’s private
chambers, Royal Handmaiden Sabé dresses in one of Amidala’s ceremonial gowns.
She puts on a magnificent headpiece and paints her face and lips with the marks
of royalty. Meanwhile, Amidala changes into the clothes of a handmaiden. The
Queen is now disguised as handmaiden Padmé. Amidala turns to Sabé, giving her
an amulet she received from her father when she left to take on the
Governorship of Theed: Sabé is to wear the amulet as a symbol of Amidala’s
gratitude for her bravery. As ‘Queen Amidala’ leaves, the real Amidala finishes
the second entry of her Journal, entitled Invasion.
The Twi’lek textiles merchant Chee Mobok
is trying to avoid a B1-series battle droid that is pursuing him on a STAP,
but he steers his speeder right into a large pond. Unable to get the speeder
out of the water, Chee decides to set out on foot.
Elsewhere in Theed, a Gungan bongo submarine
surfaces on the Solleu River. The current in the estuary begins to pull the
bongo, carrying Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, his Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi and the
Gungan Jar Jar Binks, backward into a fast moving river. Obi-Wan switches off
the two remaining bubble canopies as Qui-Gon stands up to scout the
surroundings. The Jedi Master tells Obi-Wan to start the bongo at once as they
are drifting towards a huge waterfall. Obi-Wan Kenobi tries to restart the
engine, and a few standard meters short of the waterfall, the bongo finally
starts and is able to generate enough power to stop drifting backward in the
powerful current. Moving slowly forward, Qui-Gon takes a cable out of his belt.
Suddenly, the engine dies and the bongo starts drifting backward again. As Jar
Jar Binks panics, Qui-Gon shoots the thin cable which wraps around a railing on
the shore. The bongo pulls the cable taut, and the little craft hangs
precariously over the edge of the waterfall. Obi-Wan climbs out of the bongo
and pulls himself along the cable. Qui-Gon and Jar Jar start in after him.
The two Jedi and their Gungan
companion arrive safely on the shore as suddenly a Trade Federation B1-series
battle droid, designated 3B3, tells them to drop their weapons. Jar Jar Binks
climbs up on shore between the Jedi as Qui-Gon suddenly ignites his lightsaber,
and in a brief flash, the battle droid is cut down. A stray laser bolt hits the
cable, and the bongo breaks lose, crashing down the waterfall. The Jedi start
moving, and a reluctant Jar Jar follows them into the deserted streets of
Theed. All around,
signs of brief battles can be seen, and the Jedi sense the anguish and fear of
the population.
A group of freelance operatives, who had
booked passage on the passenger freighter Crescent, are in Theed to get medical
supplies for Captain Nuun Pargen’s wounded daughter Inea. As they try to leave
the city to head back for the Crescent in the Great Grass Plains, they near
River Solleu. Suddenly, a Twi’lek textiles merchant named Chee Mobok comes
running towards them with a blaster in his hand. The operatives manage to
subdue him, and the Twi’lek claims that he was on his way out of Theed when his
speeder went out of control and crashed. The Twi’lek leads them to his speeder,
which is still floating in a pond near the edge of the city. The operatives
manage to retrieve the vehicle and prepare to use it to escape the invaded
city.

A
group of students from the Royal House of Learning have managed to evade the
Trade Federation invasion force of Theed. Now, Rann I-Kanu, Rorworr, Dané,
Arani Korden, Deel Surool, Galak and Sia-Lan Wezz, have made contact with the
Naboo Underground, an organization consisting of a few people who have thus far
managed to remain free. The Naboo Underground intends to find ways to free
others and cause as much trouble as possible for the invading forces. Lucos
Dannt, a few days ago their headmaster at the Royal House of Learning and now a
leader of the Naboo Underground, asks the students to free a group of recently
captured pilots and security officers who are being held at a temporary
detention center in an abandoned building near Theed’s central plaza. He
explains that the place is not heavily guarded, and that they have information
that the Trade Federation has stored some confiscated weapons near the
makeshift prison as well.
After
accepting the mission, the students make their way to the abandoned building
and manage to evade two Neimoidian guards. After searching the building, and
locating the confiscated weapons, the group frees three pilots, two Naboo Royal
Security Forces officers, and two Theed citizens. During their escape they
destroy two B1-series battle droids.

Pursued by STAPs: pages 68 & 69)
03:04:14 Mid Rim [O-17]: Naboo
(Theed)
A
group of freelance operatives had booked passage on the passenger freighter Crescent to get off Naboo. After the Crescent was attacked by Trade Federation droid
starfighters and forced to make an emergency landing on the Great Grass Plains,
Captain Nuun Pargen of the Crescent asked
them to get medical supplies for his wounded daughter Inea.
Having
secured two boxes of medical supplies, the operatives have retrieved a speeder
to get out of the invaded city of Theed. A B1-series
battle droid on a STAP spots them just as they are starting off and gives
chase. Several more STAPs join the pursuit as the operatives flee along the
Solleu River, taking them far away from their rendezvous point with Captain
Pargen. The speeder and the STAPs eventually arrive at the Main Boulevard
Bridge, where the bulk of the Trade Federation’s invasion force is still
entering Theed. Unfortunately for the operatives, the Droid Control Ship in
orbit has been monitoring the chase and has ordered several of the battle droid
troops on the bridge to fire on the speeder as it passes. But the speeder gets
through successfully, and enters the open water at the edge of the city, where
two more STAPs join the chase.
Outside
Theed, a battle droid transport moves slowly across Solleu River. As the
operatives speed away from the bridge, the MTT
moves almost directly into their path. Although the speeder manages to slip
past the huge transport, one of the STAPs slams headlong into the underbelly of
the vehicle. The MTT
shudders, rolls, and slips noisily into the river, sinking out of sight within
seconds. (note: although the Peril on Naboo adventure
states that these events happen during the initial invasion of Theed, the subsequent
events take place after Queen Amidala has left Naboo, so I have placed these
events during the evening-night, allowing for the following events to occur the
next day)

late morning: Under heavy attack from the invading Trade

little resistance to the invading forces, as the Naboo are a peaceful people.
To most of the Naboo, the Trade Federation invasion had come as a surprise, and
the battle droids were inside the gates of Theed before any substantial defense
could be mounted. What few weapons there were have been confiscated and the
Naboo are removed to one of hundreds of newly-constructed detention camps
scattered around the outskirts of the city. B1-series battle droids
continue to comb the city to put an end to any lingering resistance.

03:04:14 Mid Rim [O-17]: Naboo (Theed)
late morning: In the Royal Palace,
the invading Trade Federation forces surround ‘Queen Amidala’, Naboo Governor
Sio Bibble, and the five Handmaidens Padmé, Eirtaé, Yané, Rabé and Saché [The queen is really Sabé, Amidala’s trusted
handmaiden: she is the decoy, charged with keeping Amidala, who has assumed the
role of Royal Handmaiden Padmé, safe by taking her place when there is danger]. Captain
Panaka of the security forces and four Naboo guards are also held at gunpoint
as Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray enters the room with his aide,
Settlement Officer Rune Haako. Sio Bibble asks Nute Gunray how he will explain
this invasion to the Galactic Senate. The Viceroy tells him that the Naboo and
the Trade Federation will forge a treaty that will legitimize their occupation.
‘Queen Amidala’ angrily declares that she will not cooperate to forge a treaty.
But Nute tells her that the suffering of her people will eventually persuade
her to see their point of view. The Viceroy orders B1-series battle droid commander OOM-9 to
take the prisoners out to Camp Four to process them. Guarded by ten Baktoid
Combat Automata B1-series battle droids, they are led across the plaza,
filled with Trade Federation battle tanks, towards the prisoner camp.
Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan
Obi-Wan Kenobi, with the local Gungan male Jar Jar Binks in tow, are seeking
higher ground. The arrive at a bridge leading to the Royal Palace, but it
collapses under cannon fire as Qui-Gon and Jar Jar cross: Obi-Wan has to find
another way. Evading numerous B1-series battle droids, he finally catches
up with the others. As they near the Royal Palace, they hear the approach of a
group of battle droid guards and their prisoners, including the planet’s
monarch, ‘Queen Amidala’. The Jedi surprise the B1-series battle droids, cutting them down
before they can even broadcast a warning to the Droid Control Ship in orbit
around Naboo.
Qui-Gon introduces himself as one of
Supreme Chancellor of the Republic Finis Valorum’s ambassadors sent to Naboo to
negotiate a peaceful solution of the Trade Federation blockade. He explains
that the negotiations never took place and that he has to make contact with the
Republic as soon as possible. Captain Panaka steps forward and mentions that
all communications on Naboo have been disabled by the invading Trade
Federation, but he points out that there are starfighters in the main hangar.
As alarms go off, Panaka leads the group down an alleyway to a side door of the
Royal central hangar. Inside, there are several Naboo N-1-class starfighters guarded by about fifty
Baktoid Combat Automata B1-series battle droids. Qui-Gon turns to ‘Queen
Amidala’ and tells her that under the circumstances, it is best if she
accompanies them to Coruscant. After a little persuasion, she finally agrees to
go to the Galactic Senate to plead Naboo’s case.
Entering the main hangar, Qui-Gon,
Obi-Wan, Jar Jar Binks, Panaka, two Naboo guards, the three Handmaidens Padmé,
Eirtaé and Rabé, and ‘Queen Amidala’ head for the J-type 327 Nubian Royal vessel, while Governor Sio Bibble
and the Handmaidens Yané and Saché stay behind. Panaka mentions that they need
to free the Naboo pilots, held in a corner by six B1-series battle droids. Obi-Wan tells that
he will take care of it and heads toward the group of captured pilots, while
the rest approach the guards at the ramp of the Naboo Royal spacecraft. One of
the droids raises its blaster, but before any of them can fire, they are cut
down by Qui-Gon’s lightsaber as the rest board the J-type vessel. At the same time, Obi-Wan
attacks the droids guarding the twenty Naboo pilots. The freed pilots run for
their N-1-class starfighters, as Obi-Wan and pilot Ric Olié board the Royal
vessel. More droids rush into the hangar and start firing as the Royal vessel
takes off, speeding away from Naboo, heading for the Trade Federation blockade
which has been alerted to the fact that the ‘Queen’ of Naboo is escaping.

Swamp: pgs. 69 – 71)
03:04:14 Mid Rim [O-17]: Naboo (Gallo Mountains & Great Grass Plains)
morning: A group of freelance operatives had booked passage on
the passenger freighter Crescent to get off Naboo. After the Crescent was
attacked by Trade Federation droid starfighters and forced to make an emergency
landing on the Great Grass Plains, Captain Nuun Pargen of the Crescent asked
them to get medical supplies for his wounded daughter Inea.
Having secured two boxes of medical
supplies, the operatives managed to get out of Theed, although their escape
from the Trade Federation’s STAPS has done considerable damage to their
speeder. The vehicle breaks down just as they are half a kilometer inside the
Lianorm Swamp. Ubeknownst to the operatives, the spot where their forced
landing occurs is only a few kilometers from the Gungan sacred place, hidden in
the swampy foothills of the Gallo Mountains. Suddenly, a veermok attacks. The
operatives manage to wound it, and it retreats, only to be killed by a group of
Gungan sentries who silently surrounded the operatives. One of the Gungans,
Sergeant Mokem, steps forward and tells the operatives to leave immediately
before any battle droids enter the swamp looking for their underwater
settlements. After some negotiating, Mokem agrees to escort them to the edge of
the swamp, and after a short walk they arrive at the border between the swamp
and the Great Grass Plains. Sergeant Mokem wishes them luck, and the Gungans
disappear back into the swamp.
The operatives are now several kilometers
from Theed, but only a few kilometers from their rendezvous point with Captain
Pargen.

morning: Alarms fill the cockpit of the Royal Naboo J-type 327 Nubian vessel
as it heads closer to the massive Trade Federation battleships. Pilot Ric Olié
mentions that the shield generator has been hit, and activates the five onboard
Industrial Automaton R-series astromech droids. The droids leave the ship by
an exterior air lock and begin repairs on the vessel’s hull. Four droids are
lost to blaster-fire from a nearby Trade Federation battleship, while the
shields fail completely. But the astromech droid designated R2-D2 manages to
repair the deflector shield and the Naboo starship speeds away form the
blockade.
Ric Olié points out that they do not
have enough power to reach Coruscant as the ship’s hyperdrive is leaking. Jedi
Master Qui-Gon Jinn studies a star chart on a monitor and tells the pilot to
head for the small Outer Rim world of Tatooine, a desert world ruled by the
Hutts.

the Royal Naboo J-type 327 Nubian starship, enroute to the Outer Rim world
of Tatooine, the Industrial Automaton R2-series astromech droid designated R2-D2 is
commended for its brave actions during the escape from the blockaded world of
Naboo. ‘Queen Amidala’ orders one of her handmaidens, Padmé, to clean the droid
[The queen is really Sabé, Amidala’s
trusted handmaiden: she is the decoy, charged with keeping Amidala, who has
assumed the role of Royal Handmaiden Padmé, safe by taking her place when there
is danger]. As Captain Panaka of the Naboo security forces and Jedi
Master Qui-Gon Jinn inform the queen that they are headed for the Outer Rim
world of Tatooine for repairs, Padmé takes R2-D2 out to the vessel’s main area.
She starts cleaning the droid as the Gungan male Jar Jar Binks enters and
brings a can of oil. He introduces himself to the young Handmaiden, as they clean
R2-D2 together. Padmé is surprised by the sympathetic Jar Jar, as the Naboo
were taught to think of Gungans as barbarians.
Padmé finishes the third entry
of her journal, entitled Capture and begins the fourth entry, Everything New and Strange.

The only things at the site are caes filled with supplies. They decide to hide

load them onto their speeder. Then, a group of Rodian and Gran pirates shows up
and attacks.

03:04:15 Mid Rim [O-17]: Naboo (Great Grass Plains)
day: A group of
freelance operatives had booked passage on the passenger freighter Crescent to get
off Naboo. After the Crescent was attacked by Trade Federation droid starfighters
and forced to make an emergency landing on the Great Grass Plains, Captain Nuun
Pargen of the Crescent asked them to get medical supplies for his wounded
daughter Inea.
After a two-hour walk, the operatives
reach the rendezvous point, but see no sign of the Crescent. Instead they walk straight into a fight:
right about where the Crescent should be, a pair of Royal Naboo Security Guards
huddle behind a stack of crates, while a third tries desperately to start a
damaged speeder. Meanwhile, a group of three Rodians and a pair of Gran, in the
employ of a crime lord who has decided to take advantage of the chaos on Naboo
by robbing refugees of their supplies, spray the hapless Naboo with blaster
fire from another speeder. One of the Naboo guards kills a Rodian, but his
companions retaliate in kind, taking out one of the guards behind the crates.
The remaining Naboo officer behind the crates is Mett Habble, a sort of field
agent for the nascent Naboo Resistance. The operatives decide to come to the
aid of the Naboo officers. One of the Rodians fires at the speeder, which
explodes and kills the security officer who was trying to start it. But when
one of the Gran is killed, the pirates realize they are outnumbered and
retreat.
Mett Habble thanks the operatives for
their help, offering them medical attention. The operatives ask him about the Crescent, and Mett
remarks that they had heard some rumors about a ship grounded at this site:
they came out to see if they could hire its captain to take some of the more
important nobles offworld. But when they arrived, there was no sign of the
ship, and when they were attacked by the pirates, he believed the ship belonged
to the pirates in the first place and was bait to lure them out of hiding. Mett
brings the operatives up to date regarding information from Theed: Queen
Amidala made it safely off Naboo in the company of a pair of Jedi Knights.
The freelance operatives agree to
accompany Mett Habble back to the resistance camp, and the group boards the
pirates’ speeder and takes off.
En route to the camp, Mett tries to sound
the operatives out about joining the Naboo Resistance. A little more than half
an hour later, the group arrives at the Resistance camp on the far side of the
Lianorm Swamp. The camp consists largely of temporary shelters, guarded by
armed Security Guards and civilians. The bulk of the people in the camp,
however, are unarmed civilian refugees. Mett takes the operatives in need of
medical aid to the camp’s temporary med center. After a meal, he escorts them
to meet with two other Resistance leaders: Lieutenant Camaran of the Security
Guard and Oti Trinta of the Naboo Diplomatic Corps. The freelance operatives
decide to join the Naboo Resistance: for the time being, they are given support
duties, but the Resistance leaders stress the importance of being ready for
action when the time comes to take Naboo back from the invaders.

1999 (pages 1 - 4)
03:04:15 Outer Rim Territories [R-16]: Tatooine (Mos Espa)
late morning: The young slave boy Anakin Skywalker
is at work outside Watto’s shop when a womprat gets trapped. Anakin frees the
young creature and lets it run free, much to the amazement of his friend, Amee.
Anakin resumes his search of the scrapyard for parts of the podracer he is
secretly building: he still needs an energy binder and a power charge to get it
finished. Suddenly, the two of them are startled by a herd of banthas
stampeding past the outskirts of Mos Espa. Anakin remarks that there is a storm
coming, and that the banthas want to use the settlement’s walls to shield
themselves during the storm. When he starts to go inside to Watto, he sees the
freed womprat again, sitting on top of an energy binder.
Inside, Watto screams
out for the boy: he wants his slave to go to the plaza, as many Jawa traders
from Mochot Steep are gathering for the upcoming Boonta Classic podrace. They
might have the thermal veristat and thruster relays for the podracer Anakin
destroyed in last month’s race [03:03:31]. When Anakin walks out of Watto’s
shop, his mother asks him to walk by old Jira’s stall to get some fruit. Anakin
hands Shmi the energy binder, and tells her to hide it from Watto until he gets
back.
While walking to the
plaza, Anakin encounters two of his friends: Kitster Banai and Wald. They walk
over to Jira’s stall, where the old woman tells them that her cooling unit
broke down. She hands Anakin the pika fruits she had saved for his mother, and
the slave boy tells her that he will be looking for a new unit in Watto’s yard.
On their way over to
Maggy the Gorgon’s for a ruby bliel, the boys encounter podracer Sebulba. The
Dug remarks that it is a pity that Anakin’s podracer will not be ready for the
next race. Enraged, Anakin shouts that Sebulba flashed him with his thrusters,
causing him to crash: Sebulba also got Rimkar killed during the race [03:03:31]. Just as Sebulba wants
to attack Anakin, the old spacer with whom Anakin had talked earlier [03:03:31]. comes out of Maggy’s,
asking if everything is okay. When Sebulba quickly disappears, the old spacer
hands the boys a pitcher with ruby bliel, remarking that they better stay
outside as it is getting a little rough in Maggy the Gorgon’s. Taking the
pitcher and thanking the old man, the boys walk away.Then, Anakin turns back and asks the
spacer if, next time, he will tell him some more about the angels of the moons
of Iego. The spacer tells him that he will, and then urges him to run off. Then
old spacer returns inside the cantina where a fight breaks out between
podracers Gasgano and Mawhonic about who has the fastest, most fuel-efficient
racing vehicle. In another part of the cantina, a shady deal is being made as
podracer Wan Sandage pays podracer Aldar Beedo an advance of fifty thousands
truguts to eliminate the popular Dug podracer Sebulba so that he may win this
year’s annual Boonta Eve Classic Podrace.
Anakin, Kitser and Wald
arrive at the plaza where they seek out the Jawas fom the Dune Sea clan which
trades at Mochot Steep. But just as Anakin arrives at the sandcrawler, a pit
droid is buying the last thermal veristat and thruster relay from the traders.
early day: Watto is enraged when
he lears that Anakin Skywalker did not find the parts to repair his podracer,
and makes him clean out the bins once again as punishment. Outside, Anakin
gives his mother the pika fruits, and tells her that he is going to look for a
cooling unit for Jira. As Shmi turns to go home, she senses that something is
going to happen with her son soon.
While looking around
Watto’s scrapyard, Anakin once again sees the womprat he saved earlier: this
time it is sitting on a cooling unit. Excitedly, the boy runs towards it and
plans to take it into Watto’s shop later for repairs. Up in the sky, a silvery
starship is coming in fast. Lying down on top of the cooling unit, young Anakin
closes his eyes and quickly falls asleep, dreaming of an angel who is leading
warriors into battle, and of a young Jedi Knight who is freeing slaves.

03:04:15 Outer Rim Territories [R-16]: Tatooine (Mos Espa)
midday: The
Royal Naboo J-type 327 Nubian starship, carrying ‘Queen Amidala’, Jedi Master
Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi, approaches Tatooine for
much-needed hyperdrive repairs [The
queen is really Sabé, Amidala’s trusted handmaiden: she is the decoy, charged
with keeping Amidala, who has assumed the role of Royal Handmaiden Padmé, safe
by taking her place when there is danger]. The vessel lands near the outskirts of the Mos Espa
settlement, and after landing, Obi-Wan begins to dismantle the hyperdrive unit.
Qui-Gon, dressed as a local farmer, readies himself to go into Mos Espa to buy
a new hyperdrive generator. He plans to take the Gungan male Jar Jar Binks with
him, and warns Obi-Wan not to send out any transmissions, as he senses a
disturbance in the Force.
Leaving the vessel to head out to Mos
Espa, Qui-Gon, Jar Jar and the astromech droid R2-D2 are called back by Captain
Panaka, leader of the Naboo security forces. He informs the Jedi Master that
‘Queen Amidala’ ordered Handmaiden Padmé Naberrie to accompany them into town.
As they have no time to argue, the Jedi Master agrees.
Walking down the main street of Mos Espa,
the group enters a little plaza surrounded by several junk spaceship dealers.
They head for a little shop that has a huge pile of broken spaceships stacked
up behind it. They enter and are greeted by the Toydarian shopkeeper Watto.
Qui-Gon Jinn tells Watto that they need a hyperdrive generator for a J-type 327 Nubian, and
Watto calls out for his slave boy Anakin Skywalker, who is cleaning fan
switches. Young Anakin, who had just found an old cooling unit, one he could
fix and give to the old fruitstand woman Jira, like he had promised earlier, is
ordered to watch the store while Watto, Qui-Gon and R2-D2 go outside, leaving
Jar Jar with Padmé and the young slave boy. Anakin sits on the counter,
pretending to clean a part as he stares at Padmé. She is the most beautiful
creature he has ever seen in his life. Padmé is a little embarrassed by his
stare, but she musters up an amused laugh.
Outside in the junk yard, Watto locates a T-14 hyperdrive
generator. Qui-Gon mentions that he has 20,000 Republic dataries, but Watto
refuses to accept those kind of credits. The Jedi Master enters the shop and
tells Padmé and Jar Jar that they are leaving. Anakin looks sad as he watches
the Naboo Handmaiden leave. Watto flies back in from the salvage yard, telling
the slave boy that he can go home once he has cleaned up the mess in the shop.
Anakin brightens and goes quickly back to work. After finishing his chores for
Watto, he does not go home right away, but decides to go looking for Padmé.
Qui-Gon contacts Obi-Wan, asking him if
there is anything of value aboard the vessel which they can trade for a
much-needed T-14 hyperspace generator. When his Padawan answers
negatively, Qui-Gon ends the communication and walks back into the main street,
together with Padmé Naberrie, Jar Jar Binks and R2-D2. They walk by an outdoor
cafe as Jar Jar stops for a moment in front of a stall selling dead creatures
for food. He looks around to see if anyone is looking, then sticks out his
tongue and gets hold of one, pulling it into his mouth. Unfortunately, the
creaure is tied tightly to the wire. The vendor appears, demanding seven
truguts from Jar Jar. The Gungan opens his mouth in surprise, and the creature
snaps away, richochets around the market and lands in the soup of the Dug
podrace champion Sebulba, seated at the outdoor cafe. As Jar Jar moves away
from the vendor, Sebulba jumps up on the table and grabs the hapless Gungan.
Several other beings start to gather as Sebulba shoves Jar Jar to the ground.
Suddenly, Anakin Skywalker stands next to Jar Jar Binks, telling Sebulba that
the Gungan has some very powerful Hutt friends. Sebulba backs off, telling
Anakin that the next time he has to race against him, he will squash the Human
slave. Qui-Gon thanks Anakin for getting Jar Jar out of trouble.
Meanwhile, at the outskirts of Mos Espa,
Obi-Wan Kenobi and Captain Panaka, leader of the Naboo Royal security forces,
stand outside the disabled Royal Naboo J-type starship, watching the sky. A storm
is coming up as pilot Ric Olié informs Panaka and Obi-Wan that the ship is
receiving a message from Naboo, and the men go back inside.
In Mos Espa, Qui-Gon, Padmé Naberrie, Jar
Jar Binks, and R2-D2 follow Anakin Skywalker to a fruit stand run by an very
poor, old lady named Jira. Anakin tells her that he has found a cooling unit
which he will repair for her. The winds pick up and several shop owners are
starting to close up their shops as Anakin orders four pallies for the group.
When dropping a coin on the ground, Qui-Gon bends down to pick it up,
momentarily revealing his lightsaber under his tunic. Jira tells Anakin to get
home quickly as a storm is coming. When Qui-Gon mentions that they will head back
to their ship at the outskirts of town, young Anakin tells them they never
reach it before the sandstorm is coming and invites them to come home with him.
Accepting his offer, Qui-Gon, Padmé, Jar Jar and R2-D2 follow the slave boy as
he rushes down Slave Quarters Row and heads into a slave hovel.
The group enters a small living space, and
Anakin calls out to his mother, Shmi, that he has brought company. Shmi enters
from her work area and greets the newcomers. Qui-Gon explains to Shmi that her
son was so kind to offer them shelter for the coming sandstorm, and he hands
credits for a meal. Anakin takes Padmé to his bedroom to show her the droid he
is constructing. Switching it on, the protocol droid introduces itself as
C-3PO. Anakin tells Padmé that when the sandstorm is over, he will show her the
podracer he is building.
At the outskirts of Mos Espa, Obi-Wan and
Panaka are in the Queen’s chambers of the disabled Royal Naboo J-type starship,
watching the hologram transmission from Naboo Senator Sio Bibble. He informs
them that the invading Trade Federation has cut off all food supplies until the
escaped Queen Amidala returns to Naboo. The death toll among the Naboo is
catastrophic and they have no choice but to bow to their occupant’s wishes. Sio
pleads Amidala to contact him and tell him what they have to do. As the
transmission ends, Obi-Wan tells ‘Queen Amidala’ that it is a trick and that
she has to refrain from sending a reply. Obi-Wan contacts his master, and
Qui-Gon tells his Padawan that it indeed sounds like bait to establish a
connection trace. He also tells him that they are running out of time.

evening: In a
slave hovel at Slave Quarters Row, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, the Naboo
Handmaiden Padmé Naberrie and the Gungan male Jar Jar Binks are treated to a
meal, cooked by slave boy Anakin Skywalker’s mother Shmi. Outside, a giant
sandstorm continues to engulf the town. Anakin talks about the podracer he is
building. Qui-Gon mentions that there is podracing on Malastare, and that it is
a very dangerous sport. Anakin remarks that he is the only Human who can do it,
and Qui-Gon points out that he must have the reflexes of a Jedi. Anakin looks
up at Qui-Gon, and asks him if he is a Jedi Knight. Thinking for a moment, the
Jedi Master tells Anakin that he is a Jedi and that they are on their way to
Coruscant, but that they had to land on Tatooine because their ship was
damaged. He mentions that they have no way to pay or trade for the part they
need. Shmi mentions that the weak spot of most junk dealers is gambling, betting
on the podraces. Anakin gets all excited and mentions the upcoming Boonta Eve
Classic race the day after tomorrow. He suggests Qui-Gon enters his podracer so
he can win the race and use the price money to buy the starship parts. Shmi and
Padmé are against the idea, but Shmi is won over when her son reminds her that
she always says that the biggest problem in the universe is that no one helps
each other. Shmi tells her son that he can race.
After the meal, Anakin takes
Padmé back to his room to show her some more of the things he is building.
night: Later, as everybody is sleeping,
Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn stands silently at the doorway of Anakin Skywalker’s
bedroom, realizing that the young boy is special.

from out of Naboo to the J-type 327 Nubian starship. He tells his master, Dark Lord
of the Sith Darth Sidious, that he will find Queen Amidala soon and return her
to Naboo so she can sign a treaty allowing the Trade Federation to legally
occupy Naboo. Sidious tells Maul that he has to move against Amidala’s Jedi
escort first. He mentions that everything is going as planned and that the
Republic will soon be under his control.
Darth Maul boards his Sith Infiltrator, stationed at a concealed landing
platform, and takes off for Tatooine.

morning: The sandstorm of the previous day
has moved on to other regions. Vendors clean up the mess and rebuild their food
stalls. Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, Gungan male Jar Jar Binks, Naboo Handmaiden
Padmé Naberrie, astromech droid R2-D2 and Anakin Skywalker go to Watto’s junk
shop to ask permission for the slave boy to fly in tomorrow’s Boonta Eve
Podrace. The Jedi Master shows the Toydarian junk dealer a hologram of the
Naboo Royal J-type 327 Nubian starship, telling Watto that he is
entering it as entry fee. But Watto tells him that Anakin wrecked his podracer
in the last race and it is not fixed yet. The Jedi Master mentions that he has
acquired a podracer in a game of chance which he likes to enter into the Boonta
Eve. Watto suggests that, as Qui-Gon supplies the podracer and he the pilot,
they split the winnings fifty-fifty. Qui-Gon acts upset, mentioning that if it
is going to be fifty-fifty, Watto has to front the cash for the entry. If they
win, Watto may keep all the winnings, minus the cost of the T-14 hyperdrive
generator he needs. And if they lose, Watto gets to keep the Royal Naboo
starship. Watto agrees, dismissing Anakin from his work at the shop,
instructing him to make certain the podracer he will be driving is a worthy
contender and not a piece of junk that will cause everyone to laugh at the
Toydarian for his foolish decision to enter it in the first place.

late morning: After the passenger freighter Crescent was attacked
by Trade Federation droid starfighters it was forced to make an emergency
landing on the Great Grass Plains
[03:04:15]. During the
landing, the daughter of Captain Nuun Pargen, Inea, was wounded and a group of
freelance operatives went back into Theed to get medical supplies. But as the Crescent was
attracting too much Trade Federation attention, Captain Pargen decided to leave
the rendezvous point and come back for the operatives later [03:04:15].
Returning to the Great Grass
Plains rendezvous point, the Crescent
suddenly loses
power right over Lake Paonga. The ship crashes and sinks to about 40 meters
deep. Nuun immediately goes to work on the ship’s damaged primary power cell.
He also takes care of his wounded daughter as best as he can.

Sebulba will win, Gasgano will come in second, and Mawhonic will be third.
Jabba remarks that his droid also favors the slave boy Anakin Skywalker, a late
entry into the race. Gardulla laughs, stating that if the boy wins, she will
eat her analyzer. Jabba takes that bet and leaves.
With Jabba gone,
Gardulla summons her aide, Diva, telling her that despite her ploy, Jabba
refuses to believe that Gasgano will win the race. This confuses Diva, as she thought
her Mistress had bet on Sebulba to win. Gardulla replies that Sebulba will win
the race, but she had hoped to trick Jabba into betting and losing his wupiupi
on Gasgano. And after Jabba suggested her former slave, Anakin Skywalker, might
win, she wagered the boy would lose: to make sure that this happens, the boy
should have an accident. Gardulla tells Diva to go to Mos Espa and find someone
to do the job.
In Mos Espa, Dug
podracer Sebulba walks over to Ark “Bumpy” Roose, who is enjoying a refreshment
at a cantina. The Dug tells him that the slave Anakin Skywalker has entered the
Boonta, and reminds Bumpy how the boy almost beat him in the last race [03:04:03]. As Sebulba walks away,
Ark Roose angry remarks that the Skywalker kid ruined his reputation. Walking
by, Diva hears this and offers him fifty wupiupi if he sabotages Anakin’s podracer.
Planning on getting his revenge, Ark agrees. (note: Star Wars: Podracing Tales # 1 states
that the Boonta Eve Classic podrace occurs “tomorrow”)

day: Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn
is outside on the porch of a slave hovel, informing his Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi
about the plan to acquire the T-14 hyperdrive generator they need to repair
their vessel and continue their journey to transport Queen Amidala of the
invaded planet Naboo to Coruscant. When Shmi Skywalker, the owner of the hovel,
comes onto the porch, Qui-Gon puts the comlink away. In the courtyard below,
Shmi’s son, Anakin, is hard at work on the Radon-Ulzer fighter engines of his
podracer, readying it for the big Boonta Eve race to be held tomorrow. Naboo
Handmaiden Padmé Naberrie, Gungan male Jar Jar Binks and the droids R2-D2 and
C-3PO help the young slave boy with the preparations. Qui-Gon mentions that
Shmi should be proud of her son, as he gives without any thought of reward. He
tells her that Anakin has special powers, that the boy can see things before
they happen, giving him quick reflexes: the Force is unusually strong with her
son, and he asks who his father was. The woman explains that there was no
father. She carried him and gave birth, but she cannot explain what happened.
Below, in the courtyard, Anakin is joined
by his friends Kitster Banai, Seek, Amee and Wald. He tells them he is entering
the Boonta Eve race tomorrow. Not believing him, Seek, Wald and Amee take off
to play ball. Kitster stays around as Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn approaches the
group and hands a small power pack to Anakin. The boy jumps into the little
capsule behind the two giant engines and puts the power pack into the
dashboard. Everyone backs away as Anakin ignited the engines, cheering. On the
porch, Anakin’s mother Shmi smiles sadly.

03:04:16 Outer Rim Territories [R-16]: space
late day: On his way to intercept Queen Amidala of Naboo
on the Outer Rim World of Tatooine, Sith Lord Darth Maul’s Sith Infiltrator
comes out of hyperspace. He
immediately picks up a distress signal and sees a small cruiser stalled in a
shipping lane. Planning to ignore the distress signal, Darth Maul passes the
ship when suddenly a large bulk freighter appears out of hyperspace. To Maul’s
surprise, the stalled ship suddenly wheels around and heads straight for the
Sith Infiltrator, while the bulk freighter maneuvers into position on the
other side. Surrounded in a pincher movement, the Sith Lord notices that panels
on the bulk freighter slide back to reveal proton torpedoes. Darth Maul
realizes that he is being attacked by Togorian pirates, and decides that he has
to kill them because his mission is too important to have witnesses.
The Sith Lord tries a series of
maneuvers to slip between the attacking ships, but the bulk cruiser cuts him
off and starts firing. Activating his deflection shields, Maul decides to cut
all power of the Sith Infiltrator, pretending to be ‘dead’. As the small
cruiser closes in, Darth Maul climbs in the escape pod in the back of his
vessel. When he sees the cruiser approach, he releases the pod and drifts out
into space.
The Togorian pirates board the Sith
Infiltrator, as the bulk cruiser closes in. Darth Maul steers his escape pod
for the freighter and finds that the docking bay is open in preparation to
receive the Sith Infiltrator. Maul lands the escape pod inside the
docking bay and notices that there are only two Togorians in the bay. He opens
the hatch and leaps out, charging at the Togorians with his lightsaber
activated, eliminating them. The Sith Lord proceeds towards the bridge, and
attacks the four Togorians manning it. During the fight, the Togorian pirates
aboard the Sith Infiltrator are bringing the vessel in, and Darth Maul
orders them by comm unit to proceed to the bridge at once after docking. After
killing the four Togorians on the bridge, Darth Maul interfaces the ship’s
propulsion units with the proton torpedoes, causing the vessel to explode once
the engines are ignited. He then runs for the docking bay, avoiding the
returning pirates who are headed for the bridge. Deciding to leave his escape
pod behind, the Sith Lord enters the Sith Infiltrator, only to find a
Togorian pirate in the hold. Activating his lightsaber again, a fierce fight
follows. The Togorian manages to wound Darth Maul on the leg with his vibro-ax.
Enraged, the Sith Lord strikes him down and starts the engines. The Sith
Infiltrator flies out of the docking bay just as the bulk freighter
explodes, and the shock waves cause the craft to rock.
Darth Maul plugs
in the coordinates of Tatooine, where night begins to fall, and heads for the
planet, planning to fulfill his mission.

evening: Sith Lord Darth Maul, searching for the escaped Queen Amidala of Naboo to bring her back so she can sign a treaty legalizing the Trade Federation’s occupation of her homeworld, lands on top of an isolated desert mesa near the edge of the Dune Sea, scattering a herd of banthas. He walks to the edge of the mesa and studies the landscape with a pair of electrobinoculars, picking out the lights of three different settlements in the distance. Maul activates six small probe droids that float out of the Sith Infiltrator and head off in three different directions toward the settlements. The Sith Lord then returns to his ship to begin monitoring their response, and to tend to his leg-wound from his earlier encounter with the Togorian pirates.

evening: On the balcony
of a slave hovel, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn is tending to a cut he made in the
arm of the young Human slave boy Anakin Skywalker to draw some blood for
sampling it on midi-chlorians which will tell if he is Force-sensitive. He
tells Anakin that he is testing the blood for infections. From inside the
hovel, Anakin’s mother Shmi calls him inside to go to bed. As the boy runs into
the hovel, Qui-Gon takes the blood-stained chip and inserts it into his
comlink, then calls his Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi, aboard the disabled Naboo
Royal starship at the outskirts of Mos Espa. He orders his apprentice to
analyse the bloodsample for a midi-chlorian count. After the analysis is
complete, Obi-Wan informs his master that something has to be wrong with the
transmission as the reading is off the chart, over twenty thousand. Obi-Wan
points out that even the legendary Jedi Master Yoda does not have a
midi-chlorian count that high.
Staring out into the night, staggered by the
immensity of his discovery, Qui-Gon Jinn lets his gaze wander back toward the
hovel and stiffens, seeing Shmi Skywalker standing just inside the doorway,
glaring at him. Their eyes meet, and for an instant, the Jedi Master feels as
if the future has been revealed to him in its entirety. Then, Shmi turns away,
embarrased, and disappears back into her home. Remembering his open comlink,
Qui-Gon Jinn bids his Padawan Obi-Wan a good night and breaks contact.
Outside, protocol droid C-3PO and
astromech droid R2-D2 are still painting and cleaning Anakin Skywalker’s
podracer.

night: Naboo Handmaiden Padmé Naberrie wakes up at night and goes to the
window. She sees Shmi Skywalker sitting on the porch, looking up at the night
sky.
Later, Anakin Skywalker, unable to sleep,
slips out of his bed and goes down into the backyard to complete a final check
of his podracer. He watches as the astromech droid R2-D2 is applying paint to the
polished metal body of the podracer, under a steady stream of advice of the
protocol droid C-3PO. After a moment of watching the starry sky, he sits down
and idly fingers the japor carving in his pocket, the one he is working on for
the Naboo Handmaiden Padmé Naberrie. He thinks about tomorrow and knows that
the events about to come will change his life: anything is possible if he wins
the Boonta race. That thought is still foremost in his mind when he falls
asleep and starts dreaming. A central figure in his dreams was the Royal
Handmaiden Padmé he had just recently met, and she was leading a huge army into
battle.

Skywalker’s podracer, while the slave boy is sleeping on the ground. She sees
Anakin’s friend Kitster Banai riding towards them on a local eopie, leading a
second eopie behind him. Padmé goes over to Anakin and wakes him up. He tells
her that she was in his dream, leading a huge army into battle. Padmé tells him
that she hates fighting and that his mother wants him to clean up as they are
to leave soon for the Boonta Eve race at the Mos Espa Arena. Anakin stands up,
just as Kitster arrives to help haul the podracer to the arena. Anakin asks
where Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn is, and Padmé tells him that he and the Gungan
Jar Jar Binks already left for the arena to find Anakin’s slave master
Watto.

03:04:17 Outer Rim Territories [R-16]: Tatooine (Mos Espa)
morning: In the Mos Espa Arena’s main hangar, race crews are
readying a dozen or so podracers for the Boonta Eve Classic. Crews and pilots
rush about, making last-minute fixes on their vehicles. Jedi Master Qui-Gon
Jinn, who has entered the podrace of young slave boy Anakin Skywalker into the
race, walks with Anakin’s owner Watto through the activity, followed by the
Gungan Jar Jar Binks. Watto mentions that although he has great faith in his
slave, he is betting on the Dug racer Sebulba. Qui-Gon is quick to take the bet
and wants to wager his new racing pod against young Anakin and his mother.
After a bit of debating, Watto agrees to wager the boy.
Anakin and the Naboo Handmaiden Padmé
Naberrie enter the hangar on an eopie, pulling a massive Radon-Ulzer engine. Anakin’s
friend Kitster Banai rides in on another eopie, pulling another engine.
Anakin’s protocol droid C-3PO walks alongside, while the astromech droid R2-D2
trundles behind, pulling the pod with Shmi Skywalker sitting in it. They start
preparing the podracer for the Boonta Eve Classic.
When Anakin tries to power up his
podracer, he finds out that a power plug is missing, and tells his pit droid
DUM-4 to find one. The little droid speeds to the next pit, where podracer
Gasgano is at work on his pod. Gasgano tells DUM-4 that he will supply the
power plug if the droid brings him a thrust cone, and directs him to Sebulba’s
pit. The Dug podracer tells DUM-4 that he will give him a thrust cone if he
will deliver a message to the Hutt crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure. The Hutt’s
majordomo Bib Fortuna takes the note from DUM-4 and gives it to Jabba, who
tells Fortuna to write an answer on the paper. DUM-4 speeds back to Sebulba’s
pit to hand him the note from Jabba, and in exchange, he receives the thrust
cone which he brings over to Gasgano’s pit. The podracer gives DUM-4 the power
plug, and the pit droid speeds back to Anakin’s pit where he helps the young
boy to place the power plug into the podracer. Then, Anakin powers up the
engines.
Race crews are readying a dozen or so
podracers for the Boonta Eve Classic. Crews and pilots rush about, making
last-minute fixes on their vehicles. Jar Jar Binks is wandering around the
hangar and sees a native troosthi fly by. As he decides to catch it for
breakfast, he sees that the insectoid troosthi is grabbing the power charge of
Anakin’s podracer. He tries to call for help, but nobody is around to hear him,
so he decides to follow the creature and try to get the power charge back. In
his haste, he runs down Naboo Handmaided Padmé Naberrie. Padmé decides to
follow Jar Jar, afraid that he will get himself into trouble again. Padmé
hotwires a landspeeder, and they follow the troosthi into the desert. They, in
turn, are followed by a pair of Gamorreans who also want to get hold of the
power charge. Finally, Jar Jar and Padmé reach a rock-formation, the home of a
troosthi colony. They discover an abandoned moisture farm, and find an entire
trooshti colony hidden in a pit near the moisture farm. A pump has brought up
water from a reservoir deep underground, creating a small lake which the
troosthi need for their survival. Seeing the water, Jar Jar jumps in. Hundreds
of troosthi watch and hover around the pump. Padmé notices that the pump is not
working, and suddenly she knows why the troosthi stole the power charge. She
heads over to the pump, opens it up and discover that there is a polarity
discrepancy between the pump and the battery. She decides to rewire it to get
the pump running again, just as the two Gamorrean pursuers turn up. Realizing
that the young woman can fix their pump. The troosthi attack the two
Gamorreans.
Padmé manages to repair the pump and the
troosthi use the power charge to fully charge it. When it is fully recharged, a
troosthi releases the power charge from the pump and flies away. Padmé and Jar
Jar jump into the landspeeder and set in a pursuit of the troosthi which flies
all the way back to the Mos Espa Arena hangar. Inside the hangar, the troosthi
replaces the power charge, and Padmé realizes that this was their idea all
along. Anakin Skywalker, noticing that Padmé and Jar Jar are covered with sand
and mud, calls over his friend Kitster Banai to show the pair where to clean
up.
Suddenly, Anakin shouts that a thief has
stolen one of his engine parts. Qui-Gon Jinn immediately follows the thief to
retrieve the part.
A short time later it is time to take the
podracers into the arena.

Classic podrace. Most of the shops and stalls are already closed, and the rest
are in the process of doing so.

03:04:17 Outer Rim Territories [R-16]: Tatooine (Mos Espa)
midmorning: In the Mos Espa Arena, the Boonta Eve Classic
podrace is about to begin. Over a hundred thousand beings fill the Arena,
jammed into the grandstand seats. On the left side of the tracks across from
the grandstands, a line of podracers, surrounded by several crew members,
emerge from the large hangar. Pods are pulled by a wide variety of creatures
and are led by people carrying flags. The podracer pilots stand facing the
royal box of the hangar, where Hutt crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure is seated.
The voice of announcer Fode/Beed introduces some of the pilots: Ben Quadinaros
from the Tund system, Gasgano from Troiken, two-time winner Boles Roor from
Sneeve, reigning champion Sebulba from Pixelito, the locals Anakin Skywalker
and Ody Mandrell, Mawhonic from Hok, Aldar Beedo from Ploo II, Xelbree, Mars
‘Terter’ Guo from Phu, Clegg Holdfast from New Plympto, Bozzie Baranta, Wan
Sandage from Ord Radama, Obitoki, Habba Kee, Elan Mak from Ploo IV, Teemto
Pagalies from Moonus Mandel, Dud Bolt from Vulpter, Ark “Bumpy” Roose from
Sump, Neva Kee from Xagobah, Ratts Tyerell from Aleen and Ebe Endocott from
Triffis.
Sebulba wanders over from his own podracer
toward Anakin’s podracer and begins examining it. He works his way aroun the
Radon-Ulzer engines with undisguised interest, stopping finally at the left
engine. He reaches up suddenly and bangs hard on a stabilizer, glancing around
quickly to see if anyone has noticed.
The crowd cheers as the pilots proceed to
their pods and strap themselves in. Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn tells young Anakin
to concentrate on the moment with his feelings, to trust his instincts. The
Jedi Master steps away as the pilots turn on their powerful engines. Anakin’s
mother Shmi is nervous. She stands on a viewing platform where she is joined by
Qui-Gon, the Naboo Handmaiden Padmé Amidala and the Gungan male Jar Jar Binks.
Lap One: Jabba bites off the head of a frog and spits it at a
gong, signalling the start of the race. On a bridge over the track, a green
light flashes and the podracers shoot forwad. The engine of Anakin’s podracer
stalls and dies, and the young slave boy struggles to get his racer restarted
as the other racers blast off across the Starlite Flatts. Finally, his engines
ignite and he zooms away after the receding pack of competitors, while podracer
Ben Quadrinaros is still trying to get his Quadra-Pod started.
The podracers fly across the desert.
Sebulba is in front, together with Mawhonic. They round the first turn in the
track, side by side. Sebulba drives his pod into his Gran rival, forcing him
into the wall of a large rock formation of Mushroom Mesa’s Arch Canyon.
Mawhonic crashes in a spectacular display of fire and smoke.
Anakin Skywalker is much faster than the
back-end racers and passes them easily. Four local Tusken Raiders perched above
the race course fire their rifles at the pods racing in the canyon below them,
and one shot ricochets off the back of the young boy’s pod.
Jabba and the crowd watch the progress of
the race on small hand-held view screens as Anakin is powering around corners
and over hills and cliffs, passing other racers right and left. Sebulba is in
the lead, being challenged by Xelbree. Sebulba slows a little, and as Xelbree
pulls alongside, the Dug opens a side vent on his racer’s engine and the
exhaust starts to cut through his opponent’s engine, causing it to explode.
Anakin progresses at furious speed,
maneuvering past several competitors as he sends his podracer faster through
the Boonta’s exotic-named perils of Jag Crag Gorge, Laguna Caves, and Bindy
Bend. While other racers slow slightly to negotiate the notoriously twisty
chasm known as the Corkscrew, Anakin maintains a steady high speed until he
arrives at Devil’s Doorknob.
As his accelerator jams, Ratts Tyerell
crashes into a stalactite in Laguna Caves and is killed.
Anakin works his way through a dense mass
of racers as they zoom over the broad expanse of the dead-sea bed known as Hutt
Flats, kicking up dust.
Lap Two: Having completed his first run, Sebulba
enters the Mos Espa Arena, closely followed by the other racers. They barely
manage to evade the Quadra-Pod of Ben Quadinaros, who is still stalled at his
start position. Ben finally gets his podracer to start when suddenly all four
of his engines go off in all directions, exploding in a spectacular display. As
Sebulba and the rest race past the main arena, the excited crowd stands and
yells. Anakin is in sixth place as he enters the Arena.
Podracer Ody Mandrell stops in the pit as
droids start to work on his damaged engine. DUM-4 stands in front of the engine
and is sucked in, causing the engine to die. The droid is spit out the back of
the engine, very bent up, and the engine explodes.
As Anakin’s pod shoots out of Beggar’s
Canyon, he sees Mars ‘Terter’ Guo getting closer to Sebulba. The Dug purposely
breaks a small part off his pod, sending it into Mars’s engine, causing him to
veer into Anakin Skywalker. This unhooks one of the main Steelton lines on
Anakin’s engines that links the pod to his engines. As Mars crashes his
podracer in Desert Plain, Anakin struggles to keep control of the little pod,
finally managing to catch the strap and rehook it. But his momentary loss of
control had allowed the Xexto podracer Gasgano and a couple of other racers to
pass him, with Sebulba still in the lead.
Going faster, Anakin swings around Gasgano
and is close behind Veknoid podracer Teemto Pagalies when they come out of the
Laguna Caves to emerge at the base of the wide, high-walled stretch called
Canyon Dune Turn. Suddenly, Tusken Raiders, hiding in the rocks of the cliffs
that form the corner of Tusken Turn, get lucky and hit Teemto’s podracer which
exlodes in Canyon Dune Turn.
Sebulba cuts the engine of Obitoki with
his side exhaust, and the racer crashes in a cloud of dust. A third racer,
Habba Kee, flies into the cloud of dust and crashes into Obitoki. Anakin rounds
a corner and heads into the cloud of smoke, hitting a part of one of the
engines, but the slave boy manages to regain control. The young boy catches up
with Sebulba in the Corkscrew, but the Dug flashes his engines directly in
front of Anakin, causing him to fall back. But Anakin is still in second place
as he follows Sebulba’s pod sideways through Devil’s Doorknob. Podracer Neva
Kee leaves the circuit at Hutt Flats and is out of the race.
Lap Three: At
the start of the third and final lap, Sebulba is in the lead, closely followed
by Anakin Skywalker. Running neck and neck over the rough terrain, the two pods
race through the Mos Espa Arena. Speeding out of Arch Canyon, Sebulba uses his
side exhaust port to try to cut through Anakin’s engines, but the slave boy
manages to avoid having his engines disabled, although he is forced off course.
But on a tight corner, Anakin dives to the inside and takes the lead. Down
through the first set of caves and past Tusken Turn the racers tear, Anakin
leading, Sebulba right on his tail. The furious Dug stays on the slave boy’s
tail, crowding him and pushing him through Jett’s Chute on their way to the
Corkscrew. Sebulba pushes Anakin harder, and the young boy has a difficult time
keeping control. One of the parts on Anakin’s left Radon-Ulzer engine, the
horizontal stabilizer, begins to shake loose. The young boy notices and
switches over to an auxiliary system. While he is trying to accomplish this
maneuver, Sebulba races past him. Metta Drop flies past as the racers roar out
of the dune hills and onto the final stretch of flats. Anakin tries to get
around Sebulba, to no avail. Every move he makes, Sebulba is able to block.
Finally, the young boy fakes a move to the inside as he usually does, then
tries to go around Sebulba on the outside. Racing side by side, they blast out
of Devil’s Doorknob and over the final stretch of Hutt Flats. As the crowd is
going wild, Sebulba veers toward Anakin and bangs into his podracer. He slams
into Anakin over and over again, with the young boy struggling to maintain
control as the steering rods on the two pods become hooked together. As they
head for the final stretch, Anakin fights to unlock the steering rods by trying
to pull away from Sebulba. Suddenly, his steering arm breaks and his podracer
starts spinning. The release of tension sends Sebulba into an ancient statue,
causing one of his engines to explode, followed by the other. Sebulba slides to
a smoking stop, gets out of his racer, and throws what is left of a shifter arm
on the ground. Suddenly the Dug realizes his pants are on fire, and he
struggles to put them out.
Podracer Wan Sandage gets off-course and
collides with a Jawa sandcrawler. And nearing The Coil, podracers Dud Bolt and Ark
“Bumpy” Roose collide and are out of the race.
Anakin Skywalker, having regained control
of his podracer, flies through the explosion. As the crowd stands cheering, the
Human slave boy passes the finish line, becoming the youngest winner ever of
the Boonta Eve race. As he stops his podracer, his friend Kitster Banai runs
up, and they embrace. Hundreds of spectators join them and put Anakin on their
shoulders, marching off, cheering and chanting.
Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn tells Anakin’s
slave master Watto to bring the parts he gambled for to the main hangar. He
informs the Toydarian dealer that he will come by his shop later so he can
release Anakin Skywalker from slavedom. Gardulla the Hutt comes up to Watto,
and congratulates him with the victory. As the former owner of Anakin
Skywalker, she offers to buy the boy back for the sum of 50,000 peggats. Watto
tells her that he will consider the offer, realizing that with winning the
race, Anakin has won his freedom in a bet he made with the Jedi Master. When Gardulla
is summoned by crimelord Jabba the Hutt, Watto turns to one of the Mos Espa
Arena’s henchman and employs him for a freelance job. He is to stop the Jedi
Master from taking Anakin with him, so Watto can sell the young slave boy back
to Gardulla the Hutt.
A probe droid, released by Sith Lord Darth
Maul, slowly floats through the cheering crowds, searching for Amidala, the
Queen of Naboo who managed to escape from the Trade Federation occupation force
of her world [03:04:15].
The young slave boy Anakin Skywalker is
congratulated on winning by the Naboo Handmaiden Padmé and her Gungan companion
Jar Jar Binks. Anakin’s mother Shmi is very proud of her son.
In the background, Jedi Master Qui-Gon
Jinn is harnessing two eopies to containers, full of parts for the repair of
their Royal Naboo J-type 327 Nubian vessel he has gambled from the Toydarian
slave master Watto. Watto tells him to return the eopies and the grav sled to
his shop when he is done bringing the parts to his ship, and Qui-Gon tells the
slave master to have Anakin Skywalker’s papers and restraint mechanism ready
when he arrives.
Qui-Gon calls out to Padmé and Jar Jar,
telling them to help him get the parts to the ship, and Shmi and Anakin wave as
they ride off. Arriving at their disabled vessel, Qui-Gon instructs his Padawan
Obi-Wan Kenobi to start getting the T-14 hyperdrive generator installed, mentioning
that he has to get back to Mos Espa for some unfinished business regarding the
slave boy Anakin.
On a far hill overlooking the Naboo vessel,
a probe droid turns and speeds away.

early day: After
winning the Boonta Eve Classic podrace, young slaveboy Anakin Skywalker goes
home with his mother, Shmi. All the kids in the neighborhood come by to
congratulate them. They want to play and talk with Anakin, but the young boy is
distracted as he has a project he has to finish. As he is sad that his newfound
friend, the Naboo Handmaiden Padmé Naberrie, is leaving and that he has not had
a chance to say goodbye to her, he wants to give Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn a
pendant to give to her. Anakin takes out a piece of japor wood that he had
found in the desert and was saving: japor is rare and valuable, and anything
made out of it is supposed to bring the wearer good luck. The boy begins to
carve a pendant out of the japor wood, and when he is finished, he goes out to
find a leather lace to hang it on. Everywhere he goes, people wave and smile.

03:04:17 Outer Rim Territories [R-16]: Tatooine (Mos Espa)
midday: Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn returns the two eopies and
grav sled to the Toydarian slave master Watto. After winning the Boonta Eve
Podrace, Watto’s slave Anakin Skywalker has won his freedom in a bet the slave
master made with the Jedi Master, and Qui-Gon is now returning to collect the
Force-sensitive boy. Arriving in Mos Espa, Qui-Gon is observed by a couple of
henchmen, hired by Watto to persuade him to leave Tatooine without the boy, as
the slave master received an offer to sell Anakin Skywalker for the sum of
50,000 peggats to slave master Gardulla the Hutt.
Nearing Watto’s shop, the Jedi Master is
distracted by a young being who is yelling that his little brother has been
kidnapped. Qui-Gon follows the being into a dead-end street. The being vanishes
into a cellar to hide while the Jedi Master is cornered by four henchmen hired
by Watto. They begin their attack, and Qui-Gon activates his lightsaber to
disable them. When the young being is looking out of the cellar to see the
outcome of the fight, he is snatched by Qui-Gon. After telling him that he was
hired by Watto, the Jedi Master puts him to sleep and sets off for Watto’s
shop.
Inside Watto’s shop, the Dug podracer
Sebulba is trying to get Watto to sell him a couple of new engines for his
podracer which were wrecked earlier in the Boonta Eve Classic. But Watto
maintains that he has no engines for sale. When Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn enters
the shop, Watto is surprised. Using a Force mindtrick, Qui-Gon makes Sebulba
wait outside while he demands young Anakin Skywalker’s release form and the
transmitter that restrains the young slave to Tatooine. While Watto is
gathering the items, Qui-Gon tells him of his encounter with some of his
henchmen. He warns the Toydarian slave master that when harm is done to Anakin
or his mother Shmi, still a slave of Watto, he will inform the Hutts of his
shady dealings, promising that their wrath will be huge. Disabling Anakin’s
transmitter, Watto tells the Jedi Master that the boy is free to go.
Qui-Gon Jinn sells the podracer flown by
Anakin to Sebulba. Outside the shop, young Anakin is fighting a Rodian boy,
while his friend Kitster Banai is watching. They stop fighting as Qui-Gon
arrives on the scene. Anakin explains to him that his Rodian friend, Wald,
accused him of cheating into winning the Boonta Eve Classic. The Jedi Master
tells Anakin that if he knows that he has not cheated he knows the truth, and
that he has to tolerate the Rodian’s opinion. Qui-Gon moves off down the
street, and Anakin gets up and follows the Jedi Master.
Qui-Gon and Anakin head towards the
Skywalkers’ hovel in the slave district of Mos Espa. The Jedi Master gives
Anakin a handful of credits, mentioning that he has sold the pod. On their way over
to the Skywalker house, they encounter a gravsled pulled by a couple of
exhausted slaves. Qui-Gon stops the gravsled and offers the slaves some water
from his canteen, while an outraged slavemaster begins to shout at him. When
the Jedi Master tells the slave owner that he has to take better care of his
slaves, the being attacks him. Disabling him, Qui-Gon uses his Jedi
mind-techniques to make sure the slave master does not harm his slaves again.
Jinn helps the being to his feet, and the slave master immediately goes to his
gravsled to pull out a few more canteens which he gives to his slaves. Qui-Gon
and Anakin continue their path.
They enter the main room of the hovel,
where Anakin’s mother, Shmi, is cleaning up. An excited Anakin shows his mother
the credits he received from selling his pod, and Qui-Gon mentions that by
winning the Boonta Eve Classic Podrace, Anakin has been freed from slavery
under the Toydarian slaver Watto. Shmi is stunned, telling her son that now he
can make his dreams come true. She turns to Qui-Gon, asking him if he will take
her son with him to become a Jedi. Qui-Gon places the decision with Anakin
Skywalker, and the young boy tells the Jedi Master that that is what he has
always dreamed about and that he would love to go. Anakin hugs his mother and
starts for the other room when he suddenly realizes that his mother is still a
slave under Watto. Shmi comes over to her son and sits next to him, taking both
of his hands in hers, drawing him close. She tells her son that her place is in
Mos Espa and that it is time for him to let go of her. Taking a deep breath,
and with tears in his eyes, Anakin tells his mother that he is going to miss
her so much They hug and then the young boy runs into his room to pack up his
belongings. Shmi turns to Qui-Gon, thanking him. The Jedi Master promises to
watch over her son.
Inside his bedroom, Anakin throws the last
of his things in a small backpack. As he leaves, he stops and activates his
protocol droid C-3PO, telling it that he is free and is going away. He tells
the droid that he now belongs to his mother, Shmi.
As Anakin, his mother Shmi and the Jedi
Master Qui-Gon exit the slave hovel, Kitster Banai runs up to them. Anakin pulls
a handfull of coins out of his pocket and gives them to his best friend. While
Qui-Gon starts moving down the street, the two best friends hug and say
goodbye. Anakin runs toward Qui-Gon, then stops to look back at his mother
standing in the doorway. He runs back to her and starts to cry, telling her
that he cannot do this. Shmi encourages her son, and he asks if he will ever
see her again. Shmi asks him what his heart tells him, and then Anakin knows
that he will see his mother again someday. He promises her that when he has
become a Jedi, he will come back to Tatooine and free her from slavery. Shmi
hugs her son one last time while telling him that her love will be with him.
Then she turns him around so he is facing Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn. Young Anakin
Skywalker walks towards the Jedi Master, staring straight ahead with tears in
his eyes, determined not to look back. (note: although Star Wars Junior: C-3PO’s Big
Adventure states that Anakin
Skywalker leaves Tatooine the day after the Boonta Eve Classic, I have this
event on the same day as the podrace since every source seems to indicate this.
And when Anakin fights a Rodian in the streets of Mos Espa, several sources
indicate that this is Greedo from the movie Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. But Star Wars Episode I Journal: Anakin Skywalker identifies the Rodian as Wald, so I decided to go
with this to keep the established continuity of Greedo intact)

morning - day: Sith
Lord Darth Maul, who has come to Tatooine to track down Queen Amidala and her
two Jedi protectors who managed to escape from the Trade Federation occupation
force of Naboo, grows impatient while waiting for
news from his dispatched probe droids. He begins
pacing back and forth in front of the Sith Infiltrator. Suddenly,
he spots fresh tracks in the broiling sand close to his ship: he identifies
them as bantha tracks. The Sith Lord follows the tracks until he enters a
canyon, where he is attacked by a Tusken Raider. Maul activates his lightsaber
and slices the Tusken’s gaderffii in two. The Tusken Raider attacks again, but
Maul easily blocks his clumsy attacks again and again. Just as the Sith Lord is
about to strike his opponent down, several more Tusken Raiders appear. Then,
over thirty of the native sandpeople charge. Darth Maul realizes that he has
been tricked and one by one, he hacks their gaffi sticks in half. But the
Tusken Raiders keep coming, backing him up against the canyon wall. At that
moment, his comlink sounds, indicating that one of his probe droids had found
something. Realizing he has to save his strength for his mission, Darth Maul
focuses his power, turns around to face the canyon wall, and runs straight
towards it. He runs high up the sheer rockface and does a backward flip. The
Sith Lord flies through the air and lands behind the surprised Tusken Raiders.
By the time they turn to rush after him, Maul is already racing back to his Sith Infiltrator.

03:04:17 Outer Rim Territories [R-16]: Tatooine (Mos Espa)
day: Outside the settlement of Mos Espa, Sith Lord Darth
Maul, hunting down Queen Amidala of Naboo who managed to escape from the Trade
Federation occupation force of her world, learns from one of his probe droids
that Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn is on Tatooine. The probe droid confirms that it
spotted Qui-Gon at the local Mos Espa Arena during the Boonta Eve Classic
podrace, and that the Jedi Master was accompanied by a Naboo Handmaiden, one of
the personal assistants and protectors of Queen Amidala. Darth Maul removes his
speeder bike from the Sith Infiltrator’s cargo hatch and follows the probe droid
into Mos Espa.
Meanwhile, in the streets of Mos Espa,
Qui-Gon and the former slave-boy Anakin Skywalker stop by Jira’s fruit stand.
Anakin hands the old woman some credits, telling her to buy herself the cooling
unit which he promised her, as he is leaving Tatooine. Astonished, Jira gives
Anakin a hug, telling him that she will miss him.
Anakin runs back to join Qui-Gon, who has
already started down the street. As they walk along together near the less
populated outskirts of town, the Jedi Master notices something out of the
corner of his eye. Suddenly, without breaking his stride, he ignites his
lightsaber, swings around, and lunges forward to cut a lurking probe droid in
half. Finding the discovery of a probe droid trailing them distrubing, the two
start running towards their nearby spacecraft. In the desert, the Jedi Master
notices a dark-cloaked figure bearing down on a speeder bike, and he tells
Anakin to drop to the ground. Sith Lord Darth Maul sweeps over him, and jumps
off his speeder bike. Before he has hit the ground, the Sith Lord has swung a
death blow with his lightsaber that is barely blocked by Qui-Gon. Anakin
Skywalker picks himself up and runs towards the Royal Naboo J-type 327 Nubian vessel
as Qui-Gon struggles to fend off the relentless onslaught of the Sith Lord.
Inside the starship, Captain Panaka of the
Royal Naboo Security Forces orders pilot Ric Olié to take off and fly low
towards Qui-Gon.
Qui-Gon and Darth Maul continue their
lightsaber battle as the Royal Naboo starship approaches them with a lowered
ramp. Before Maul knows what is happening, the Jedi Master jumps onto the ramp.
The Sith Lord immediately jumps onto the ramp after him, but barely makes it.
Qui-Gon swings his lightsaber with all his might and knocks Darth Maul off the
ramp. The ramp closes and the Naboo craft flies away, leaving the Sith Lord
standing alone in the Tatooine desert.
As the Naboo Royal starship leaves
Tatooine orbit and sets out a course for Coruscant, Jedi Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi
and the former slave boy Anakin Skywalker rush towards an exhausted Qui-Gon.
The Jedi Master thinks that the mysterious assailant was after Queen Amidala
and probably knows their destination. Shortly afterwards, the vessel goes into
hyperspace, and Obi-Wan takes Qui-Gon to his quarters to rest.
Sith Lord Darth Maul contacts his master,
Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Sidious to make a report. He tells Sidious that the
Jedi Master managed to escape the Outer Rim desert world in the company of
Queen Amidala. Then, Maul powers up his Sith
Infiltrator and takes off for
Coruscant.

night: In the Royal Palace on the occupied world of Naboo,
Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray warns Naboo Governor Sio Bibble that he has
to give up his pointless strike as Queen Amidala is lost and the Naboo people
are starving. But Sio counters that the Trade Federation invasion will gain him
nothing as they are a democracy and the Naboo people have chosen not to live
under Trade Federation tyranny. As the governor is taken away, B1-series battle
droid commander OOM-9 approaches Nute and informs the Viceroy that Trade

03:04:17 space
night: Aboard the Royal Naboo J-type 327 Nubian starship enroute from Tatooine to
Coruscant, Royal Handmaiden Sabé tells Padmé Naberrie that Naboo Governor Sio
Bibble had sent a transmission while she was in the Tatooine settlement of Mos
Espa. When most of the people on the ship are asleep, Padmé watches the
holotransmission. The she hears a sound as if someone is crying softly. She
goes over to the young former slave boy Anakin Skywalker who is sitting in a
corner of the main room. He looks up at her with tears in his eyes, holding his
arms to keep himself warm. Padmé gives him her over-jacket and explains to him
that space is cold, especially for someone from a warm planet like Tatooine.
Anakin notes that Padmé is sad, and she hesitates before telling him that
‘Queen Amidala’ is worried about her people which are suffering under Trade
Federation control on her homeworld of Naboo [The queen is really Sabé, Amidala’s trusted handmaiden: she
is the decoy, charged with keeping Amidala, who has assumed the role of Royal
Handmaiden Padmé, safe by taking her place when there is danger]. Anakin pulls a wooden japor pendant
which he made earlier in the day from his pocket, and gives it to Padmé as a
present to remember him by. Padmé puts it around her neck, telling the young
boy that she thinks it is beautiful, but that she will not need the pendant to
remember him. Jokingly, she remarks that he, after all, is her future
husband. She mentions that
many things will change when they reach the capital, but that her caring for
him will always remain. Anakin seems disturbed about something and tears start
reappearing in his eyes again. Padmé asks him if he misses his mother, and he
looks at her, unable to speak. She hugs him and sits with him until he falls
asleep.
Leaving to return to her quarters, Padmé
encounters the Gungan Jar Jar Binks. He tells her that he does not like all
these dry environments he has been in lately and starts to tell the Royal
Handmaiden about the Gungan city of Otoh Gunga. This makes Padmé think of the
city of Theed. Their conversation is interrupted by Captain Panaka, the head of
the Royal Naboo Security Forces who informs Padmé that ‘Queen Amidala’ wants
her at her side. Padmé tells Jar Jar that she is sure that Amidala will make
some water from her personal allotment available for his use. She asks Jar Jar
if he thinks the Gungans would support the Naboo against the Trade Federation,
and the Gungan replies that if the Queen treats the Gungans with respect, he
believes that they would.

Invasion of Theed Adventure Game – Adventures Book (Adventure 3 -
Rescue: pages 12 - 16)
03:04:18 Mid Rim [O-17]: Naboo
(Theed)
A
group of students from the Royal House of Learning have managed to evade the
Trade Federation invasion force of Theed by joining the Naboo Underground.
Lucos Dannt, the leader of the resistance, brings them the news from the
streets: there has been no word on the fate of Queen Amidala.
As
Rann I-Kanu, Rorworr, Dané, Arani Korden, Deel Surool, Galak and Sia-Lan Wezz
are recovering from their missions for the Naboo Underground, Lucos returns
with a visitor: Lialla Tane, the daughter of Naboo’s Minister of Culture Kyu
Tane. She tells the former students that her parents have been captured by the
Trade Federation invaders, and how she heard about their previous succesfull
rescue mission [03:04:14]. As
she has promised to aid the resistance in another mission, she asks them for
help. The former students agree to help Lialla, and she tells them everything
she knows: the prison in which here parents are held, located on the Street of
Glory near the Royal Palace, consists of portable energy walls and is guarded
by several security battle droids.
The
group of resistance fighters manages to retrieve the access code for the energy
gate and, after disabling the 3-meter-high barriers, enter the makeshift
prison. They quickly locate Kyu Tane and his wife, who are polite but
skeptical, unsure if they should trust these young people. But once the former
students mention that Lialla has sent them, they are convinced. Several Naboo
citizens, also imprisoned, are scared and some believe that their ‘rescue’ is a
trap set by the Neimoidians. But after a little while, they also join the young
resistance fighters.
As
the group makes their way out of the prison, a squad of four B1-series battle droid approaches. The
droids open fire on the resistance fighters, as their orders are to stop the
armed opponents before trying to recapture the escaping prisoners. After
defeating the battle droids, the resistance fighters lead the prisoners to the
Naboo Underground headquarters where Lialla is reunited with her parents. The
other former captives head off to find any members of their own families who
may be among the resistance fighters. (note: Invasion of Theed Adventure
Game – Adventures Book states that
these events happen a “few days after the invasion”)

03:04:19 Core Worlds [L-9]: Coruscant (Galactic City)
day: The Royal Naboo J-type 327 Nubian J-type starship carrying ‘Queen Amidala’
from Naboo enters the atmosphere of Coruscant and flies over the endless
cityscape of the world [The queen is
really Sabé, Amidala’s trusted handmaiden: she is the decoy, charged with
keeping Amidala, who has assumed the role of Royal Handmaiden Padmé, safe by
taking her place when there is danger]. The sleek starship lands on a platform high above the street level of
the galactic capital. The ramp lowers, and Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, his
Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Gungan male Jar Jar Binks and the former
Force-sensitive slave boy Anakin Skywalker descend the ramp first and bow
before the welcoming committee, consisting of Supreme Chancellor of the
Republic Finis Valorum and Naboo Senator Palpatine. The group is followed by
Captain Panaka of the Royal Naboo Security Forces, some guards, Queen Amidala,
and the Royal Handmaidens Padmé Naberrie, Rabé and Eirtaé. Palpatine bows
before the Queen, telling her that he is glad to see her alive. Supreme
Chancellor Valorum welcomes Amidala to Coruscant and relates to her how
distressed everyone is over the current situation of Naboo which has been
occupied by Trade Federation forces. Finis mentions that he has called a
special session of the Galactic Senate to hear her position.
Palpatine starts to lead Amidala and her
retinue off the landing platform toward a waiting air taxi. Jar Jar and Anakin
start to follow, then stop, noticing that Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are still
standing with the Supreme Chancellor. Amidala waves to the duo to follow her,
and Qui-Gon nods to Anakin to go ahead.
Anakin and Jar Jar join ‘Queen Amidala’,
Senator Palpatine, and the Handmaidens in the air taxi. On the landing
platform, Finis Valorum and the Jedi watch the air taxi move off into the city.
Then, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn informs the Supreme Chancellor that he has to
speak with the Jedi Council immediately as the current situation has become
more complicated.
In Palpatine’s senatorial quarters on
Coruscant, Padmé Naberrie manages to switch places back with the Royal
Handmaiden Sabé who was a stand-in of Queen Amidala of Naboo. Here on
Coruscant, no one will notice if Padmé disappears, and Sabé will shroud herself
and fade into the background.
Amidala and her Royal Handmaidens Eirtaé
and Rabé are talking with Palpatine in his quarters. Anakin Skywalker and Jar
Jar Binks are waiting in the adjoining room, where a messenger informs them
that an air taxi will arrive soon which will take them to the Jedi Temple.
Captain Panaka walks by the duo into Palpatine’s quarters. Palpatine is telling
Amidala that the Republic is not what it once was: the Galactic Senate is full
of greedy, squabbling delegates who are only looking out for themselves and
their home systems. They have lost all interest in the common good. He tells
Amidala that he thinks there is little chance the Galactic Senate will act on
the Trade Federation’s invasion of her homeworld of Naboo. Amidala points out
that Supreme Chancellor of the Republic Finis Valorum thinks there is hope, but
Palpatine tells her that the Chancellor has little real power as he is mired
down by baseless accusations of corruption: a manufactured scandal surrounds
him and the bureaucrats are in charge now. Palpatine explains that the best way
to deal with the Naboo situation is to push for the election of a stronger
Supreme Chancellor, one who will take control of the bureaucrats, enforce the
laws and bring back justice to the Republic. He tells her that she should call
a vote of no confidence in Chancellor Valorum or accept Trade Federation
control of Naboo for the time being.
At the Jedi Temple, Jedi Master Qui-Gon
Jinn and his Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi stand before the twelve Jedi Council
members, informing them of their encounter with a possible Sith Lord on the
Outer Rim desert world of Tatooine. Senior Jedi Master Mace Windu is surprised,
and Jedi Knight Ki-Adi-Mundi mentions that that is impossible as the Sith have
been extinct for a millennium. Jedi Master Yoda mentions that the Republic is
under threat if the Sith are involved, and he orders Qui-Gon to continue to
protect Queen Amidala of Naboo, the apparent target of the mysterious Sith
Lord. Mace informs Qui-Gon that they will use all resources to unravel the
mystery and discover the identity of his attacker.
As Obi-Wan Kenobi turns to leave, Jedi
Master Qui-Gon Jinn continues to face the Jedi Council. He informs them that he
has encountered a vergence in the Force, located around a person. This young
boy’s cells have the highest concentration of midi-chlorians he has ever seen
in a life form. The Jedi Master explains that it is even possible that the boy
was conceived by the midi-chlorians. Surprised, Mace Windu asks him if he is
referring to the ancient prophecy of the one who will bring balance to the
Force. Qui-Gon requests the boy be tested. Yoda asks the Jedi Master if he
intends for the young boy to be trained as a Jedi, and Qui-Gon replies that
finding him was the will of the Force. Mace tells him to bring the boy before
them for a test.
After Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan leave, the Jedi
Council discusses the news they have just heard about the Sith. Adi Gallia
tells the other council members that she senses danger. Jedi Master Depa
Billiba agrees. Jedi Masters Eeth Koth and Even Piell remark that they could be
dealing with the Sith. Master Oppo Rancisis points out that the Sith have been
their enemies for thousands of years, suggesting that they should be prepared
for battle. After everyone else has spoken, Jedi Master Yaddle tells Yoda that
she senses that the danger is close.

Infiltrator, Sith Lord Darth
Maul has decided that, although he wounded his leg, he will not mention his

master, Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Sidious. This will be the first time that
he conceals anything from his master.
The Sith Infiltrator comes

concealed landing bay. The entrance panels, looking like a sheer wall to
outsider, close and Maul disembarks to go to his master. Darth Sidious sits in

relates the events regarding the Jedi which happened on the Outer Rim desert
world of Tatooine. Darth Sidious informs his apprentice that Queen Amidala’s
starship has already arrived on Coruscant. Maul tells his master that he wants to kill the
Jedi, but Darth Sidious replies that he has another plan.

03:04:19 Core Worlds [L-9]: Coruscant (Galactic City)
day: At the Galactic Senate Building, thousands of
Senators and their aides sit in the circular assembly area of the Rotunda.
Chancellor of the Republic Finis Valorum sits in an elevated area in the
center. Hundreds of aides and droids hurry about. Naboo Senator Palpatine sits
in the Naboo congressional box with Queen Amidala and her Royal Handmaidens
Eirtaé and Rabé, and Captain Panaka, head of the Royal Naboo Security Forces.
Palpatine explains that if the Trade Federation moves to defer the motion,
Amidala has to ask for a resolution to end this congressional session: she has
to force a new election for Supreme Chancellor. Palpatine promises her that
there are many who will support them. Then, Finis Valorum gives Palpatine the
word. The Naboo congressional box floats into the center of the Senate Rotunda,
and Palpatine addresses the Supreme Chancellor and the delegates of the
Galactic Senate:
“Supreme Chancellor, delegates of the Senate. A tragedy has occured on my homeworld of Naboo. We have become caught up in a dispute, one of which you are all aware. It began with a taxation of trade routes and has evolved into an oppressive and lawless occupation of a peaceful world. The Trade Federation bears responsibility for this injustice and must be made to answer.”
A second box rushes into the center of the
Senate Rotunda, filled with Trade Federation trade barons led by Lott Dod, the
Senator for the Trade Federation. He is outraged and objects to Senator
Palpatine’s statements. But Palpatine presents Queen Amidala, the recently
elected ruler of the Naboo, to state their allegations. Queen Amidala stands
and addresses the assembly:
“Honorable representatives of the Republic, distinguished delegates, and Supreme Chancellor Valorum. I come to you under the gravest of circumstances. In repudiation and violation of the laws of the Republic, the Naboo have been invaded and subjected by force by droid armies of the Trade Federation.”
Senator Lott Dod objects again,
recommending a commission be sent to Naboo to ascertain the truth. A third box,
representing Malastare, moves into the center of the Rotunda. Aks Moe, the
Malastarian ambassador, addresses the convention stating that the Congress of
Malastare concurs with the Trade Federation delegate that a commission has to
be appointed, as is written in the law. Senator Toonbuck Toora from Sy Myrth
also sides with the Trade Federation.
Supreme Chancellor Valorum confers with
Vice Chairman Mas Amedda and several of his aides. Senator Palpatine turns to
Queen Amidala, pointing out that the bureaucrats are the true rulers of the
Republic, rulers which are on the payroll of the Trade Federation. He predicts
that this is where Chancellor Valorum’s strength will disappear.
Then, Finis Valorum addresses the Galactic
Senate, mentioning that Section 523A takes precedence. He turns to Queen
Amidala of Naboo, asking her if she will defer her motion to allow a commission
to explore the validity of her accusations. Amidala is angry but remains
composed, countering that she will not defer: she has come before the Galactic
Senate to resolve the Trade Federation attack on their sovereignty, mentioning
that she was not elected to watch her people suffer and die while the Senate
discusses the invasion in a committee. Amidala states that if this body is not
capable of action, she suggests new leadership is needed. She moves for a ‘vote
of no confidence’ in Supreme Chancellor of the Republic Finis Valorum’s
leadership.
This announcement creates a great stir in the
assembly, and a loud murmur crescendos into a roar of approval and cheers.
Chancellor Valorum is stunned, standing speechless. Vice Chairman Mas Amedda
takes over, trying to restore order in the Rotunda. Things settle down a
little, and the Trade Federation box settles next to Queen Amidala. Prince Bail
Prestor Organa of Alderaan moves his box into the Arena, mentioning that his
homeworld seconds the motion for a vote of no confidence in Chancellor Valorum.
Mas Amedda turns to the confused Supreme Chancellor and whispers something to
him as Bail Organa tells the Galactic Senate that there must be no delays as
the motion is on the floor: it has to be voted upon in the current session.
Trade Federation representative Lott Dod asks the motion to be sent to the
procedures comittee for study. As Finis Valorum talks to Mas Amedda, the
assembly begins to chant to vote immediately. In the Naboo box, Senator
Palpatine mentions to Queen Amidala that Chancellor Valorum will be voted out
and will make place for a new and strong Supreme Chancellor, one who will not
let the Naboo tragedy continue.
Vice Chairman Mas Amedda informs the
Galactic Senate that Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum has requested a recess
and that the voting will commence tomorrow.
Queen Amidala retreats to Senator
Palpatine’s quarters, accompanied by her handmaidens Eirtaé and Sabé, and the
Gungan male Jar Jar Binks.
A short time later, the
Force-sensitive young Human male Anakin Skywalker is looking for the Royal
Naboo Handmaiden Padmé, whom he considers his closest friend on this world. He
is called into Queen Amidala of Naboo’s quarters, and the queen tells him that
she has sent Padmé on an errand. Anakin tells Queen Amidala that he is going to
the Jedi Temple to hopefully start his training as a Jedi. The Queen just
stares at the boy as he continues to tell her that he may not see Padmé again
and that he just wanted to say goodbye. Amidala tells him that he will tell her
and that she is sure that Padmé`s heart goes with him. Anakin leaves Amidala’s
quarters and goes to find the air taxi which will bring him to the Jedi Temple.

late day: The Force-sensitive young Human
male Anakin Skywalker, together with the Gungan male Jar Jar Binks, are waiting
at the Jedi Temple for the Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn to come out and tell him if
he is to be trained as a Jedi. Growing impatient, Anakin decides to have a look
around. They walk into the city, crossing several bridges until they enter a
shopping-district. When Anakin decides to go back to the Jedi Temple, he
realizes that he is lost. Suddenly a droid, accompanied by a little boy named
Finn, bumps into him. It appears Finn’s nanny droid is broken, and the
youngster has misplaced his mother. Anakin calms the boy, telling him that he
can probably fix the droid, which suddenly wheels off. Grabbing Finn’s hand,
Anakin runs after it, with Jar Jar following him. When the droid enters an
airbus, Anakin decides to follow it. At the next docking bay, the nanny droid
disembarks, and they follow it over a busy intersection into a trash chute
which ends in a junk pile. The droid is now completely broken, and Anakin goes
to work on it. Suddenly, dozens of spider-roaches crawl from out of the
junkpile and approach them. Jar Jar’s tongue shoots out, and he begins to eat
the critters. After Anakin finishes his repairs, the nanny droid’s eyes pop
open, and it greets them. The droid gets up and takes them to Finn’s home,
where a worried mother hugs him. After thanking Anakin and Jar Jar for their
help, she tells them that she will help them get back to the Jedi Temple, and
calls for an air taxi. After saying goodbye, Anakin and Jar Jar take the air
taxi back towards the Jedi Temple, where a worried Qui-Gon Jinn is waiting for
them. Anakin tells him about Finn and the broken nanny droid, and the Jedi
Master replies that Anakin did what a Jedi would do.

sunset: Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn is standing with his Padawan
Obi-Wan Kenobi on the balcony of the Jedi Temple, talking about the upcoming
test of the Force-sensitive Anakin Skywalker, a former slave boy which he
picked up at the Outer Rim desert world of Tatooine. Obi-Wan warns his master
that Anakin will not pass the Jedi Council’s tests as he is far too old, but
Qui-Gon believes that the boy will become a Jedi. Obi-Wan asks him not to defy
the Jedi Council again, but the Jedi Master tells him he will do what he has to
do. Obi-Wan gazes out across the surrounding skyscrapers, asking his master
what happens if the boy decides he wants to be with his mother. Qui-Gon tells
him that that would be Anakin’s choice, but that he has already taken a step to
help his mother: he has arranged for a courier to go to Tatooine and deliver a
Tobal lens to Shmi Skywalker: she can use the crystal, used to convert heat to
light, the type used to power Renatta photon drives, to bargain for her
freedom.
Anakin Skywalker stands before the Jedi
Council, ready to begin a test to determine if he is allowed to train as a
Jedi. Jedi Master Mace Windu holds a small viewing screen in which images flash
across in rapid succession. Before the twelve Jedi, Anakin names all the images
which are visible to Mace only. The Jedi Master turns off the viewing screen
and nods toward Jedi Master Yoda. Yoda asks Anakin how he feels. The young boy
tells him that he feels cold. Yoda asks him if he is afraid to give up his
life, but young Anakin denies this. Jedi Knight Ki-Adi-Mundi notices that the
boy’s thoughts dwell on his mother, and Anakin confesses that he misses her.
Yoda remarks that he is afraid to lose her. This makes the young boy a little
angry, and he asks what that has got to do with anything. Yoda tells him that
fear is the path to the dark side as fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate,
and hate leads to suffering. Anakin tells him that he is not afraid. Yoda looks
upon the young boy, telling him that a Jedi must have the deepest commitment,
the most serious mind. The Jedi Master mentions that he senses much fear in
him. But Anakin quietly repeats that he is not afraid. Yoda tells him that they
will continue the test.

evening: Following the Galactic Senate session on Coruscant in
which she declared a vote of no confidence in the current Supreme Chancellor of
the Republic, Queen Amidala of Naboo retreated to Senator Palpatine’s quarters,
accompanied by her handmaidens Eirtaé and Sabé, and the Gungan male Jar Jar
Binks. Palpatine rushes into the room with Captain Panaka, the leader of the
Royal Naboo Security Forces. Panaka informs the queen that Senator Palpatine
has been nominated to succeed Finis Valorum as Supreme Chancellor. Palpatine
promises Amidala that if he is elected, he will bring democracy back to the
Republic and put an end to corruption. The other nominees are Bail Antilles of
Alderaan and Ainlee Teem of Malastare. But Palpatine mentions that he feels
confident that the current developments on Naboo, occupied by the Trade
Federation, will create a strong sympathy to vote for them. But Amidala
mentions that she fears that by the time Palpatine has control of the
bureaucrats, there will be little left of her homeworld. With the Galactic
Senate in transition, she feels that she has to return to Naboo and orders
Panaka to ready her ship. Palpatine pleads with the queen to stay on Coruscant
where she will be safe, but Amidala has already made up her mind. When she
leaves the room, Senator Palpatine has a self-satisfied smile on his face.

evening: The young Force-sensitive Anakin Skywalker, a former
slave boy from the Outer Rim desert world of Tatooine, stands before the
twelve-member Jedi Council in the Jedi Temple, where he has just finished
several tests to determine if he is to be trained as a Jedi. Lead Jedi Master
Mace Windu tells Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn that the boy’s cells indeed contain a
very high concentration of midi-chlorians, but that he will not be trained.
Anakin is crestfallen and tears begin to form in his eyes as Mace explains that
he is too old and that there is already too much anger in him. Qui-Gon argues
that young Anakin is the chosen one, but Jedi Master Yoda tells him that the
boy’s future is clouded, masked by his youth. In an unpredictable move, Qui-Gon
tells the Jedi Council that he will train Anakin himself, that he takes him as his
Padawan learner. Qui-Gon’s current Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi, reacts with
surprise as Yoda explains to Qui-Gon that he already has an apprentice. Mace
concurs, telling the Jedi Master that he forbids it. Qui-Gon remains calm and
tells the Jedi Council that Obi-Wan is ready to face the trials and that there
is little more his Padawan will learn from him. Mace Windu tells the Jedi that
now is not the time for this: the Galactic Senate is voting for a new Supreme
Chancellor, Queen Amidala is about to return to Naboo, which will put pressure
on the Trade Federation and could widen the current confrontation. He orders
Qui-Gon to accompany Queen Amidala to Naboo and discover the identity of the
dark warrior which had attacked him on the Outer Rim desert world of Tatooine.
Yoda concurs, mentioning that young Anakin’s fate will be decided later.
Qui-Gon has permission to take the boy with him but is forbidden to train him
in the ways of the Force. Mace Windu also warns the Jedi Master to protect
Queen Amidala, but not to intercede if it comes to war with the Trade
Federation, as they first need the Senate’s approval to take action.

late evening: Outside the Senate Landing Platform, Jedi Master
Qui-Gon Jinn, his Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the former slave boy Anakin
Skywalker prepare to board the Royal Naboo J-type 327 Nubian ship to accompany Queen Amidala to Naboo.
Anakin listens in on a conversation between Qui-Gon and his Padawan, in which
Obi-Wan told his master that the Jedi Council was right to deny to train Anakin
Skywalker as a Jedi, as they sensed he was dangerous. But Qui-Gon remarks that,
while Anakin’s fate remains uncertain, the boy is not dangerous, and he reminds
his Padawan that the Jedi Council has not yet made their final decision.
The astromech droid R2-D2 leans over the
edge of the landing platform to watch the traffic, and suddenly falls
overboard. After a moment, he reappears, using on-board jets to propel himself
back onto the landing platform. When they board the ship, Qui-Gon tells Anakin
to be mindful and watch him closely: although he is forbidden to teach Anakin
the ways of the Force, the young boy can take up a lot himself by just watching
and sensing. He explains to the young boy what midi-chlorians are, and that
they are telling the will of the Force. When Anakin learns to quiet his mind,
he will be able to hear the midi-chlorians.
Two airtaxis pull up at the platform, and
Captain Panaka, head of the Royal Naboo Security Forces, disembarks,
accompanied by Senator Palpatine of Naboo and about twenty troops, guards and
officers. They walk toward the Royal Naboo ship, followed by the decoy Queen
Amidala, the Royal Handmaidens Padmé Naberrie and Eirtaé, and the Gungan male
Jar Jar Binks. Amidala stops before the Jedi, thanking them for their help. She
mentions that Senator Palpatine fears the Trade Federation means to destroy
her. When everyone has boarded the Naboo Royal vessel, the ship takes off for
Naboo.

03:04:21 Mid Rim [O-17]: Naboo
morning: Enroute
to the Mid Rim world of Naboo, Queen Amidala consults with Captain Panaka and
her Royal Handmaidens, deciding that she would become Padmé the Handmaiden
again as soon as the Royal Naboo J-type 327 Nubian starship comes within reach of the Trade
Federation’s blockade of Naboo. Force-sensitive former slave boy Anakin
Skywalker stands in the cockpit of the ship where pilot Ric Olié is explaining
the various buttons and gauges.
Meanwhile, Amidala, now again disguised as
the Royal Handmaiden Padmé Naberrie with Sabé acting as her stand-in, devises a
plan to deal with the occupying Trade Federation forces on her homeworld. She
calls a meeting with Captain Panaka of the Royal Naboo Security Forces and Jedi
Master Qui-Gon Jinn.
Later, Amidala confers with Qui-Gon and
Captain Panaka. Panaka warns her that the moment they land, the Trade Federation
will arrest her and force her to sign a treaty to approve of Trade Federation
leadership. But Amidala is determined to take back what is theirs. Panaka
mentions there is only twelve of them, hardly enough for an army, but Amidala
turns to the Gungan male Jar Jar Binks, telling him that she needs his help.
Jar Jar informs her that his former Gungan tribe has a grand army.
As the Royal Naboo starship arrives at
Naboo, Captain Panaka and the Jedi Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi notice that the Trade
Federation’s blockade of the planet is over, with only one battle cruiser
orbiting.
Inside the main hold, Amidala, Panaka, his
troops, and the Royal Naboo Handmaidens get ready to disembark as the ship
lands in a Gungan swamp. The elevator door slides open, and young Anakin
emerges into the hold area. He sees Handmaiden Padmé Naberrie and runs up to
her, asking where she has been. A lighty-shocked Padmé asks him what he is
doing aboard, and Anakin tells her that he is accompanying Jedi Master Qui-Gon
Jinn. He also tells her that the Jedi Council might not allow him to be trained
as a Jedi. Jar Jar leaves for the underwater Gungan city of Otoh Gunga.
Royal Naboo security troops unload the
ship. Obi-Wan Kenobi approaches his master, Qui-Gon Jinn, and asks him if
Amidala’s idea will work. The Jedi Master answers that the Gungans will not be
easily swayed. Then, Obi-Wan apologizes for his behavior earlier at the Jedi
Temple on Coruscant [03:04:19], telling Qui-Gon that it is not his place
to disagree with him about training the young Force-sensitive Anakin. He also
mentions he is grateful that Qui-Gon thinks he is ready for his trials. Qui-Gon
Jinn looks at his Padawan for a long moment, telling him that he has been a
good apprentice, much wiser than himself. He tells Obi-Wan Kenobi that he
foresees he will become a great Jedi Knight.

Naboo (Otoh Gunga)
morning:
The Gungan male Jar Jar
Binks, one of the loyalists to Queen Amidala, the rightful ruler of the world,
arrives at the Gungan underwater city of Otoh Gunga. Entering the main square
of the city, he finds that the plaza is empty. Upon further inspection, he
notices that many of the underwater structures are shot up as if there had been
a battle. He decides to swim back to the shores of the swamp lake, the location
of the Royal Naboo starship. He walks over to ‘Queen Amidala’ [The queen is really Sabé, Amidala’s trusted
handmaiden: she is the decoy, charged with keeping Amidala, who has assumed the
role of Royal Handmaiden Padmé, safe by taking her place when there is danger], reporting that Otoh Gunga is deserted
and that the city shows marks of a battle. Jar Jar believes his people have
moved to their sacred hiding place, hidden in the swampy foothills of the Gallo
Mountains: he will show them the way.

03:04:21 Mid Rim [O-17]: Naboo (Gallo Mountains)
morning: In the swamplands, the Gungans have
assembled to hide from the advancing Trade Federation B1-series battle droids
which attacked their underwater city of Otoh Gunga [03:04:19].
Hiding in the sacred swamplands, hidden in the swampy foothills of the Gallo
Mountains, for two days now, supplies begin to dwindle and fights break out
among the Gungans. Some wish to return to Otoh Gunga, while others want to wage
war against the Trade Federation.
The banished Gungan male Jar Jar Binks
leads ‘Queen Amidala’, Captain Panaka of the Royal Naboo Security Forces, Jedi
Master Qui-Gon Jinn with his Padawan learner Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Royal
Handmaidens Padmé, Eirtaé, Rabé, the Force-sensitive former slaveboy Anakin
Skywalker, four Naboo pilots, eight guards, and the astromech droid R2-D2
through the swamp to the secret Gungan hiding place [The queen is really Sabé, Amidala’s trusted handmaiden: she
is the decoy, charged with keeping Amidala, who has assumed the role of Royal
Handmaiden Padmé, safe by taking her place when there is danger]. They all stop as Jar Jar finally
mentions that they have arrived at the hiding place. He makes a strange noise,
and suddenly, out of nowhere, Gungan Captain Tarpals and six Gungan soldiers
riding kaadus emerge from the brush. Jar Jar greets Tarpals who is shocked to
see the Gungan again.
Captain Tarpals leads
the Naboo group through a clearing full of Gungan refugees. At the far end are
the ruins of a grand temple. Gungan leader Boss Nass and several other Gungan
Council members walk out on the top of a three-quarter submerged head, once
part of the temple. The Gungan leader tells Jar Jar that he will pay for his
crimes this time. Then, ‘Queen Amidala’ steps forward, her Jedi protectors and
Captain Panaka standing behind her. She introduces herself to Boss Nass,
telling him that she comes in peace, but the Gungan leader accuses her of
bringing the Trade Federation to Naboo. Panaka and the Naboo soldiers look
around nervously as Amidala tells Nass she wishes to form an alliance with the
Gungans. Suddenly, the Royal Handmaiden Padmé steps forward, and Boss Nass asks
‘Amidala’ who she is. But Padmé takes the word, telling the Gungan leader that
she is the real Queen Amidala. She points to the queen, telling Boss Nass that
this is her loyal bodyguard and decoy. Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn gives his
Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi a knowing look. Padmé, the real Queen Amidala,
apologizes to Boss Nass for the deception, but explains that under the
circumstances, it has become necessary to protect herself. And now, with the
threat of the Trade Federation destroying all that the Naboo and the Gungans
have worked so hard to build, she begs Boss Nass to help the Naboo defeat the
occupying force. She drops to her knees before a stunned Boss Nass. Captain
Panaka and his troops also bow down before the Gungan council. Then the Royal Handmaidens
and the former slaveboy Anakin Skywalker do the same, followed by the Jedi.
Boss Nass begins to laugh, telling the Naboo that maybe they can be friends
after all.
The Gungans immediately begin
to prepare for the upcoming battle, as Queen Amidala sends Captain Panaka and a
small squad to the city of Theed on a reconnaissance mission.

day: After the
passenger freighter Crescent was attacked by Trade Federation droid starfighters it
was forced to make an emergency landing on the Great Grass Plains [03:04:15]. During the landing, the daughter of Captain Nuun
Pargen, Inea, was wounded and a group of freelance operatives went back into
Theed to get medical supplies. But as the Crescent was attracting too much Trade Federation
attention, Captain Pargen decided to leave the rendezvous point and come back
for the operatives later [03:04:15]. Returning to
the Great Grass Plains rendezvous point, the Crescent lost power right over Lake Paonga [03:04:16]. The ship sank to about 40 meters deep.
A group of Gungans finds the Crescent. They help Captain Nuun Pargen with the
repairs of the vessel’s primary power cell, and also take care of Inea. (note: the Peril of Naboo adventures states that the Crescent was under water for “days”)

03:04:21 Mid Rim [O-17]: Naboo (Theed)
Walking through the corridors of the Royal
Palace, Darth Maul enters the Throne Room, where Nute Guntray is talking with
his aide, Settlement Officer Rune Haako. Maul takes place on the throne, and
asks for a status report. Nute begins to tell him that things are going well on
Naboo, and Rune mentions that the people are cowed completely in the detention
camps. The underground resistance is small and will be crushed any day now. The
Viceroy informs the Sith Lord that every ship in the area, every troop has been
alerted to watch out for Queen Amidala’s ship: she will be spotted as soon as
she enters the system. But then Darth Maul tells him that Amidala is already on
Naboo. Nute Gunray and Rune Haako are stunned. Darth Maul tells the Viceroy
that he wants to check out security around the plaza.
Outside the Royal Palace, on the plaza, Nute Gunray points out the security patrols to Sith Lord Darth Maul, who orders more efficient security patrols.
A group of students from the Royal House
of Learning have managed to evade the Trade Federation invasion force of Theed
by joining the Naboo Underground. But after a mission, they are captured and
thrown into one of the many prison camps in and around Theed. Rann I-Kanu,
Rorworr, Dané, Arani Korden, Deel Surool, Galak and Sia-Lan Wezz are welcomed
to Prison Compound 32 by Ela Sivel, a Theed artist who has been in the prison
since the first hours of the invasion [03:04:14]. The two other prisoners in the cell are Ruto
Graven, Assistant Minister of Internal Affairs for Queen Amidala, and Royal
Security Force officer Boraso.
As Ruto tells them that he has learned
that Queen Amidala managed to evade capture and has gone to Coruscant to plead
their case before the Republic Senate, Jedi Padawans Rann I-Kanu and Sia-Lan
Wezz suddenly feel cold and uncomfortable: a disturbance in the Force draws
their attention to a small group of people walking past the prison. The
prisoners peer through the crackling energy gate to see a pair of high-ranking
Neimoidians walking beside a figure in dark robes. Then, as though sensing the
Padawans, the hooded figure turns and stares at them: tattoos of red and black
cover his face, and yellow eyes scrutinize them for an instant. Then the figure
turns away, dismissing them. As the trio moves out of sight, the Jedi Padawans
get an impression of pure hatred, and they realize they have glimpsed the dark
side.
A plan for escape is made: several of the
prisoners will distract the guarding battle droids, as the others will attempt
to disable the 3-meter-tall energy gate, using Boraso’s security tools which he
managed to smuggle into the prison. As the energy gate is disabled, the
prisoners rush out and gather their equipment, which is stored in an unlocked
container next to the energy wall. Armed, the prisoners confront the B1-series battle
droids, and after defeating them, they escape from Prison Compound 32 and return
to the Naboo Underground headquarters.
Still outside with Darth Maul, one of the
Trade Federation’s field officers contacts Viceroy Nute Gunray by comlink,
informing him that they have discovered Queen Amidala’s deserted starship in
the swamps. Maul suggests that it is time to contact his master to report on
the situation on Naboo.

Sidious tells his apprentice Darth Maul to be mindful, as this is an unexpected

There are a few damaged, non-functional Trade Federation droids in the camp,
including B1-series battle droids and a destroyer droid. She hears the camp leader
talking to his followers. He talks about the troubles Queen Amidala has brought
upon Naboo, and of the dangers she has unleashed on Naboo and Gungan alike. The
renegade leader tells his followers that if the Queen cannot lead them from
destruction, then someone has to step forward to replace her. Then, as one, the
crowd begins to chant and the renegade smiles. Lialla quickly hurries away
before anyone notices her, and goes back to Theed to report her findings.

03:04:21 Mid Rim [O-17]: Naboo (Gallo Mountains)
At the edge of the sacred Gungan grounds,
hidden in the swampy foothills of the Gallo Mountains, a Gungan sentry alerts
that four speeders are underway.
The Force-sensitive former Tatooine slave
boy Anakin Skywalker runs over to Queen Amidala and Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn
who are discussing a battle plan with five Gungan generals. The Royal
Handmaidens Sabé and Eirtaé watch as the Gungan leader Boss Nass promotes the
outlaw Jar Jar Binks to the rank of General. Binks’ eyes roll back, his tongue
flaps out and he faints.
Four speeders pull up to the group and
Captain Panaka, the leader of the Royal Naboo Security
Forces, steps out, together with several dozen Naboo soldiers and members
of the Naboo Underground and the Naboo Resistance. Amidala asks about the
situation and Panaka informs her that most of the Naboo are detained in camps.
A few hundred police and guards have formed underground movements and he
managed to bring as many leaders as he could. It appears that the Trade
Federation’s army is also much larger than they thought, and he believes that this
is a battle they cannot win. Amidala explains that the battle is a diversion:
the Gungans have to draw the Trade Federation’s droid army away from the Naboo
cities. They can enter the city of Theed using the secret passages on the
waterfall side: once they arrive at the main entrance, Panaka has to create a
diversion so that the group can enter the Royal Palace and capture Trade
Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray. Amidala explains that they will send what Naboo
pilots they have to attack the droid control ship which is orbiting Naboo,
disabling the Trade Federation’s droid army on the ground. Panaka suggests that
they capture a Trade Federation transport to move troops into the city right
under the enemies noses, then enter the palace without tipping off any guards.
One of the Naboo Security Guards points out that there is a sunken MTT in the Solleu
River: he saw some STAPS chasing a landspeeder, and one of them collided with
the transport, taking out the vehicle’s cooling fins[03:04:14].
Amidala asks a group of freelance officers who joined up with the Naboo
Resistance to try and retrieve the MTT.
Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn mentions that the
plan is well-conceived, but not without risk as the weapons on the Naboo
starfighters may not penetrate the shields on the droid control ship. Jedi
Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi mentions that if the Viceroy escapes, he will return
with another droid army. Amidala turns to the Jedi, telling them that that is
why they must not fail to get Viceroy Nute Gunray as everything depends on it.
Once everyone has agreed to the basics of
the plan, the Naboo Resistance freelance operatives turn their attention to the
problem of salvaging the sunken MTT transport. Gungan leader Boss Nass says he
can arrange to move it back upriver, where Naboo technicians can repair its
damaged repulsors.

03:04:21 Mid Rim [O-17]: Naboo (near Theed)
A group of freelance operatives from the
Naboo Resistance has agreed to help Queen Amidala in her plan to end the
current invasion of Naboo by the Trade Federation. They are to recover a sunken
Trade Federation MTT transport from the Solleu River and repair it as it
will play a vital role in Amidala’s plan to enter the occupied city of Theed.
Traveling in three bongos, supplied by
Gungan leader Boss Nass, the operatives, Naboo technicians, and Gungan
engineers led by Koh Pa Wupps travel down Solleu River to within sight of the
city of Theed, and begin searching the river bottom for the sunken MTT. From a large,
underwater cavern, four opee sea killers appear. The three bongos manage to
outrun the sea creatures by speeding away.
After a while, the group succeeds in
locating the MTT transport, resting among the rocks at the river
bottom. Koh Pa and his Gungan engineers disembark from the bongos and move
their equipment over to the transport’s hull. While the Gungans are working on
the transport, a 200-meters-long young colo claw fish appears and moves toward
the unprotected Gungans. The freelance operatives manage to draw its attention
by ramming it with their bongo and lead the creature away from the MTT.
After the MTT is moved upriver, Naboo technicians begin
their repairs. The MTT’s battle droid crew and troop complement have all short-circuited
in the water. The transport’s control signal receiver is still functional, and
the resistance fighters can use it to listen in on Trade Federation
communications. After the Naboo technicians have cleared away all the battle
droids, they adapt the cargo bay to acommodate the Naboo troops. They also
manage to restore one of the antipersonnel blaster cannons to working order.
All that is required now is to find a capable pilot for the massive vehicle.
Queen Amidala’s plan requires the pilot and
a small group to remain with the transport throughout the infiltration into
Theed. This ensures that if things go badly, the Queen and her party have an
escape route handy. Naboo Resistance leader Mett Habble nominates the freelance
operatives for this duty, and Queen Amidala agrees.

03:04:22 Mid Rim [O-17]: Naboo (Lianorm Swamp / Great Grass Plains / Theed)
early morning: The Gungan army prepares for the upcoming
battle against the invading Trade Federation forces. As the Gungans clear out
of the resistance camp, Queen Amidala (disguised as the Royal Naboo handmaiden
Padmé), her loyal handmaiden Sabé (disguised as the Queen), Captain Panaka,
leader of the Royal Naboo Security Forces, resistance leader Mett Habble, Jedi
Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan Obi-Wan, young Anakin Skywalker, and about
three dozen Naboo soldiers board the repaired Trade Federation MTT transport. Mett
gives the freelance operatives from the Naboo Resistance a Naboo comlink, as
well as a voice modulator to imitate the voice of a battle droid. Minutes
later, the battered transport is moving noisily along the edge of the Great
Grass Plains toward the lower plateau. Anakin, always fascinated with
mechanical devices, asks for permission to visit the control room. While there,
the young boy watches everything with keen interest while trying to stay out of
the way.
The
trip to the secret passage in the cliff below Theed is mostly uneventful. In
the transport’s control room, the operatives and Anakin occasionally hear Trade
Federation communications or receive signals on their sensor screens. But no
one challenges the MTT, nor is there any news about the Gungan army. Queen Amidala
comments that the Gungans probably have not yet moved into the open: she doubts
that the battle droid army will leave the city until her group is already in
the secret passages.
late morning: Three
long hours pass before Panaka comes to the control room to inform the
operatives that it is time to start looking for the secret entrance into the
city: a jagged, diagonal cleft in the cliff wall. With Panaka’s help, they soon
identify the unique configuration of the passage entrance, and within a few
minutes, the MTT moves
through the opening. The troops begin to debark and move toward an almost
invisible cave mouth. Panaka is the last to leave the MTT. He tells the
operatives to stay out of sight and use their comlink if they get into trouble:
they are the Queen’s only hope if this mission fails. Then he joins Qui-Gon
Jinn at the cave mouth and ducks inside with a salute.
Half
an hour later, the MTT’s control signal receiver starts humming and information
begins scrolling across a screen on the pilot’s console. A moment later a small
hologram of battle droid officer OOM-9 appears on the console’s projection
unit, informing the MTT crew that an army of Naboo primitives is approaching the
city from the direction of the swamp. All troops are to report to their
sub-officers for battle assignments. The hologram flickers again, and a
different-looking battle droid, designated PDA-2, appears, ordering the MTT to
guard the city until the battle is over. The battle droid suddenly looks down,
then back up and addresses Transport 7-1-4 directly, remarking that they have
listed the MTT as
sinking into the river during the invasion [03:04:14]. Using the voice
modulator, the operatives respond that their MTT is badly damaged. PDA-2 tells them to stand
by, and moments later the vehicle begins moving along the base of the cliff
toward the city of Theed by itself. PDA-2 explains that it is overriding manual
control and remote-piloting the vehicle to the repair bay in the capital city.
Alarmed, the operatives contact Panaka, who tells them that he will inform
everyone that the new rendezvous point is the repair bay, below the main
hangar. He tells the operatives that this could work to their advantage and
asks them to clear the repair bay of any Trade Federation forces.
In
about 20 minutes, the transport arrives at the base of the cliff below Theed.
Maintenance droids emerge to attach a crane cable and repulsorlift assists to
the MTT, then
begin hauling it upward. Five minutes later, the transport is inside the repair
bay. Battle droid commander ADO-8 orders the operatives to park the MTT in a corner of the cavernous
building. ADO-8 tells them to deploy their troops before shutting down,
ordering all available units to report immediately to the Royal Palace to
protect Viceroy Nute Gunray from possible danger. When maintenance droids enter
the MTT, the freelance
operatives manage to disable them. This leads to battle droids entering to
check the situation out, and moments later all battle droids in the repair bay
are destroyed, including ADO-8. The repair bay is secured.

early morning: On the occupied of Naboo, Sith Lord Darth Maul is meditating on his upcoming battle with Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn when Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray informs him that his patrols have informed him that Queen Amidala is assembling an army. The Neimoidian patrols have discovered that Amidala has contacted the primitive Gungans in the swamps, and that they have formed an alliance. Maul suggests that they contact Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Sidious to inform him of these developments.

morning: In the Royal Throneroom of the Royal Palace on Naboo,
the leader of the occupying Trade Federation forces, Nute Gunray, walks with
Settlement Officer Rune Haako, battle droid commander OOM-9, and the Sith Lord
Darth Maul along a hologram of Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Sidious. Sidious
mentions that Amidala is more foolish than he thought. Nute reports that he is
sending all available troops to meet the Naboo resistance army of primitives,
not expecting much resistance. OOM-9 mentions that security at all Naboo
detention camps is increased. Maul tells his master that he feels there is more
to this, that the two Jedi may be using Queen Amidala for their own purposes.
Darth Sidious points out that the Jedi cannot become involved in the matter:
they can only protect the Queen. He tells Maul that even Jedi Master Qui-Gon
Jinn will not break that covenant. Sidious commands Nute Gunray to wipe out the
entire Naboo resistance army.

midday: Trade Federation AAT
tanks and MTT transports
roar onto the rolling meadows.
The Gungan army surfaces in a
rippling of murky swamp-water, and a stream of bubbles, lop-eared heads pop up:
first one, then another, and finally hundreds and eventually thousands. Astride
their kaadu, the Gungans ride from their concealment with armor strapped to
their amphibious bodies and weapons held at the ready. They carry long-hafted
energy spears and metal-handled ball slings for long-distance fighting and
energy shields for close combat. As the first wave rides clear, huge fambaa
emerge from the swamps, bearing shield generators atop their broad backs.
General Jar Jar Binks rides with them, wondering what he is supposed to do.
Commander-in-Chief General Ceel tells him to set a good example for his people
and die well. Slowly, the Gungan army clears the tangle of the swamps, and
moves out onto the open grasslands where the Trade Federation is already
setting up a perimeter.

midday: In the occupied city of Theed, a group of
freedom fighters, led by Queen Amidala, still disguised as the Royal Handmaiden
Padmé, make their way toward the entrance of the Royal Palace’s main hangar.
Amidala, Royal Handmaiden Eirtaé, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, Jedi Padawan
Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Force-sensitive former slave boy Anakin Skywalker and the
astromech droid R2-D2 are followed by about twenty Naboo guards, pilots and
troops. They stop, and Amidala uses a small red laser light to signal across
the Central Plaza to Captain Panaka, leader of the Royal Naboo Security Forces.
Panaka, accompanied by Royal Handmaiden Rabé and about twenty other assorted
Naboo troops, signals back. Qui-Gon leans over to Anakin, telling him that once
they are inside the hangar, the boy should find a safe place to hide and stay
put.
Droid troops of the occupying Trade
Federation mill about the tank-filled Central Plaza. Suddenly, at the far end
of the plaza, several B1-series battle droids begin to run and fire, and Naboo
soldiers begin to fire back at the droids. As a battle erupts at one end of the
plaza, Amidala and her group rush into the main hangar. Panaka ans his soldiers
continue to engage the battle droids outside.
Inside the main hangar, alarms are
sounding as Amidala’s group rushes into the hangar. More B1-series battle
droids begin firing at them as they run for cover: Anakin hides underneath a
Naboo N-1 starfighter as the Jedi deflect bolts aimed at Amidala back onto the
battle droids, causing them to explode.

03:04:22 Battle of Naboo Mid Rim [O-17]: Naboo (Great Grass Plains)
midday: On the grass
plains south of the occupied city of Theed, Trade Federation AAT tanks and lines of STAP Single
Trooper Aerial Transports have formed a defensive line spread out over a
distance of more than a standard kilometer. When the Gungan General Ceel sees
the tanks on the ridge, he orders a halt. The Gungan army are spread out in a
large line, and Ceel signals to the shield operators. A red beam shoots out of
the generator and blasts into a large dish on the back of the second fambaa,
spreading like an umbrella over the assembled Gungan warriors.
On a signal from Droid Commander OOM-9,
who is in turn responding to a command from the deep-space control center, the
Trade Federation tanks begin to fire on the Gungan army. Within their
protective covering, the Gungans wait patiently, weapons ready. Unable to penetrate
the Gungan shields, the Trade Federation tanks stop firing, resulting in a
cheer from the Gungans. They watch as the AATs and STAPs withdrew, making way for several massive
MTT
transports. The doors of the transports open, and racks of B1-series battle
droids are pulled out and lined up by a squad of Single Trooper Aerial
Platforms. The Gungan army gets ready for an attack as the Trade Federation
battle droids reconfigure into their standing position. OOM-9 gives the
commando to move forward, and thousands of B1-series battle droids march toward the
Gungans.
Amid the wail of Gungan battle horns, a
shower of spears rain down on the advancing droids, shafts and points exploding
on impact, ripping metal limbs and torsos apart. Energy balls flung from the slings
follow, inflicting further damage. Mortars dump their loads in the center of
the droid rank, opening huge gaps in the attack. The battle droids reel and
slow, then regain momentum and march on, hundreds more taking the place of
those who had fallen, marching through the protective shield and into the range
of the Gungan weapons.

midday: Neimoidian trade officer Gode Takrab has
created a convincing set of documents and transmissions that make it appear as
though Queen Amidala of Naboo has agreed to Trade Federation Viceroy Nute
Gunray’s demands of surrender. Nute’s aide, Settlement Officer Rune Haako
approves the finished product when they receive word of the Naboo attack in
progress. Rune assigns a contingent of security battle droids to make sure that
Gode gets safely back to the orbiting Droid Control Ship so that the false
evidence can be transmitted to the Republic Senate. (note: the Peril on Naboo adventure
states that these events occur “when the Naboo launched their attack”)

A group of freelance operatives from the
Naboo Resistance has managed to secure a repair bay under the main hangar, when
a droideka appears and prepares for attack. Suddenly, the operatives receive a
signal from Captain Panaka, informing him that the Queen’s party has begun its
assault. The droideka snaps back into its wheel configuration and rolls
backward, heading out of the repair bay at high speed. Suddenly, the operatives
notice that they are not alone in the repair bay: they see a humanoid figure dressed
in a long, black robe near the entrance. Its feral yellow eyes lock on the
entrance to the service passageway. Then the figure wheels about, disappearing
with amazing speed in the direction from which it came.

midday: In the main hangar of the Royal Palace in the
occupied city of Theed, Anakin Skywalker hides uderneath one of the Naboo N-1 starfighters
as Queen Amidala still disguised as the Royal Handmaiden Padmé, and Jedi Master
Qui-Gon Jinn with his Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi engage several Trade Federation
battle droids. The Queen’s troops and Royal Handmaiden Eirtaé also blast away
at the droids. Amidala signals to her pilots who run for the Naboo N-1 starfighters
stacked in the hangar bay. One of the pilots jumps into a fighter right above
where young Anakin is hiding, telling the boy to find a new hiding place. The N-1 begins to
levitate out of the hangar as B1-series battle droids fire at it as if
falls in behind five other Naboo fighters. The astromech droid R2-D2 whistles
to Anakin from a second fighter not far away, and the young boy runs and jumps
into the N-I to hide.
Captain Panaka of the Royal Naboo Security
Forces rushes into the hanger, together with a few Naboo soldiers and the Royal
Handmaiden Sabé. They join forces with Queen Amidala and the Jedi and manage to
overwhelm the few remaining Trade Federation battle droids. Amidala mentions
that she thinks that Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray is in the Royal
Throne Room. Qui-Gon agrees, and the group starts to head for the exit, on the
way passing the starfighter where Anakin and the astromech droid R2-D2 are
hiding. Qui-Gon Jinn tells the young boy to stay in the cockpit.

Gode Takrab to his shuttle. Gode has created false evidence that implies that

between Captain Panaka’s troops and some battle droids in the main hangar.
After a firefight, the battle droids are quickly destroyed, and Gode is taken
captive by the operatives. (note:

the Gungan shield generators still hold the Trade Federation’s AAT tanks at bay.
Battle droid commander OOM-9, responding to orders from the orbiting battleship
command station, unleashes a battalion of droidekas from the MTT transports.
The destroyer droids wheel across the grasslands and through the Gungan energy
shield, where they transform into battle mode and begin to advance through the
carnage. Gungans and kaadu go down in broken heaps, but other Gungans move
quickly to fill the gaps in their lines, slowing the destroyer droids, fighting
to hold their ground.

Invasion of Theed Adventure Game – Adventures Book (Adventure 4 –

03:04:22 Battle of Naboo Mid Rim [O-17]: Naboo
(Theed)
A
group of students from the Royal House of Learning have managed to evade the
Trade Federation invasion force of Theed by joining the Naboo Underground. Rann
I-Kanu, Rorworr, Dané, Arani Korden, Deel Surool, Galak and Sia-Lan Wezz are
quietly exploring the streets of Theed, looking for ways to help the people of
Naboo survive the terrible invasion. As they notice a large force of B1-series battle droids gathering in the
middle of Theed’s Central Plaza, a soldier of the Royal Naboo Security Forces
steps in front of them, asking them if they are for or against the queen. The
resistance fighters confirm that they are supporters of the queen, and they
stare in amazement as Queen Amidala, one of her handmaidens, and another royal
soldier step out of the shadows. The queen however is really Sabé, Amidala’s
trusted handmaiden: she is the decoy, charged with keeping Amidala safe by
taking her place when there is danger. She needs to get into the Royal Palace
and distract at least part of the defending forces, giving the real Amidala a
better chance of reaching the throne room to confront the Trade Federation
Viceroy.
As
Queen Amidala, she asks the resistance fighters for help to get into the Royal
Palace. When the former students agree to help, Queen Amidala outlines her
plan. Immediately afterwards, she and her group run straight for the palace doors
as the resistance fighters keep the battle droids occupied. Once the Queen is
inside, the resistance fighters flee in the opposite direction and find a safe
place to hide.

03:04:22 Battle of Naboo Mid Rim [O-17]: Naboo (Theed)
midday: In the main hangar of the Royal Palace in
the occupied city of Theed, Queen Amidala, still disguised as the Royal
Handmaiden Padmé, and her forces continue their advance towards the Royal
Throne Room to capture Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray. Amidala’s group
heads for the exit of the hangar, and are startled by Sith Lord Darth Maul
standing in the doorway. Amidala, Captain Panaka and the Naboo troops back away
as Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi step forward,
igniting their lightsabers. Darth Maul ignites double-bladed lightsaber as
well.
At the far end of the hangar, six Trade
Federation destroyer droids roll in and transform into their battle positions.
As the Jedi begin to fight Darth Maul, the astromech droid R2-D2 calls Anakin
Skywalker’s attention to the advancing destroyer droids which start firing on
Amidala and her troops. Suddenly, the N-1’s systems go online, and the starfighter
begins to levitate. Anakin commends R2-D2 for his great idea and he tries to
steer the ship toward the droids. He pushes a button, and the N-1 begins to
shake. He quickly releases it and pushes a second one. Now, the lasers of the
starfighter begin to fire, wiping out several destroyer droids, allowing
Amidala and her group to exit the hangar.
Now, the droidekas seek out Anakin and his
starfighter, and the boy tightens his grip on the steering. He fires the N-1’s lasers, but
the destroyer droids have moved too far to either side to be affected.
Searching for the ship’s shields, Anakin flips several switches, causing the
afterburner to ignite. As he flips some more switches, he is surprised when the
steering handle fights itself free from his grip. The fighter wheels about and
streaks out through the hangar doors, lifting swiftly away. Panicking, Anakin
yells at R2-D2 that the ship is on automatic pilot. As the starfighter leaves
Naboo’s atmosphere, he tries to override it. Then, the astromech droid informs
him that the ship is seeking out the other starfighters which are about to
attack the Trade Federation’s Droid Control vessel in orbit around Naboo.
In the hangar,
the Jedi are still engaged in a fierce lightsaber battle with Sith Lord Darth
Maul. They fight their way out of the main hangar through an entry that leads
into a power station. Alone in the power station, hidden from the rest of Theed
and its occupants, they intensify their struggle. Three lightsabers are
crossed in an intense display of swordsmanship. Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and
his Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi are locked in a fight with Sith Lord Darth Maul,
fighting their way across the narrow bridge of the Theed power generator. Maul
jumps onto the bridge above them, and the Jedi follow, one in front of the Sith
Lord and one behind. Maul kicks Obi-Wan off one of the ramps and he falls
several levels. Qui-Gon knocks the Sith Lord off another ramp, and he lands
hard on a ramp two levels below. The Jedi Master jumps down after him. Darth
Maul backs away along the catwalk into a small door. Qui-Gon Jinn follows as
Obi-Wan Kenobi runs to catch up.
Queen Amidala and her group follow the
passageways that lead through the city and back to the Royal Palace. It is a
running battle fought building by building, corridor by corridor against the
B1-series battle droids who had been left behind to garrison Theed. When a
direct route to the palace fails, Captain Panaka begins to take a more cautious
approach and leads them through underground tunnels, hidden passageways and
connecting skywalks that avoid the battle droid patrols scouring the streets
and plazas. Finally, they reach the Royal Palace, entering from a skywalk
bridging to a watchtower, making their way along the palace halls toward the
throne room. Amidala shouts to Royal Handmaiden Sabé to take half the team into
the maintenance passageways and meet them at the throne room. Just as Sabé and
her team disappear, Amidala and her group are trapped by a squad of B1-series battle
droids. Panaka blasts a hole in the window, and part of the group make their
way outside the building onto a ledge about six stories above a raging
waterfall. Eirtaé and a group of Naboo soldiers stay in the hallway to hold off
the battle droids.
On the ledge, Amidala, Panaka and about
ten other Naboo soldiers pull small attachments out of their blasters and fire
at a ledge about four stories above them. Thin cables shoot out of the blasters
and are embedded into the ledge, and they begin to climb up the wall. A window
in the hallway blasts apart and the group climb into another hallway. They head
for the door of the throne room when suddenly two Trade Federation destroyer
droids skitter in front of the door. Amidala turns around and sees two more droidekas
appear at the far end of the hallway, trapping them in the middle. She throws
down her blaster and turns to Panaka, telling him that the Trade Federation
wins this round. Panaka and his forces also lay down their weapons.

03:04:22 Battle of Naboo Mid Rim [O-17]: Naboo (Great Grass Plains)
day: On the grass
plains south of the occupied city of Theed, things are not going well for the Gungan army. The
Gungans are no match for the advancing Trade Federation droidekas. Slowly they
are being pushed back, and very quickly the destroyer droids break through the
Gungan lines fronting the shield generators. The droidekas keep in firing their
weapons into the machines over and over. The fambaa on which the generators are
mounted shudder and drop to their knees. Abruptly, the force field begins to
waver and fade.
Trade
Federation battle droid commander OOM-9, watching it all through
electrobinoculars, is quick to report back to the Neimoidian command.
Federation AAT tanks
are ordered forward at once, their guns firing.
When Gungan General Ceel sees the shield generators lose power, he realizes the battle is lost. Turning to his staff, he signaled for a retreat. The battle horns sound the call, and the entire Gungan army begins to fall back.

03:04:22 Battle of Naboo Mid Rim [O-17]: Naboo (Theed)
day: A group of freelance operatives from the
Naboo Resistance has managed to secure a repair bay under the main hangar,
where they captured the Neimoidian trade officer Gode Takrab. Gode had created
false evidence that implies that Queen Amidala has agreed to surrender, and was
on his way to the orbiting Droid Control Ship. The operatives plan to use
Gode’s shuttle to get out of Theed.
The operatives arrive at the
shuttle, which stands on an open plaza near the generator complex. Two security
battle droids stand guard while the silver protocol droid TC-11 waits on the
boarding ramp. The operatives attack, causing TC-11 to retreat into the shuttle
and seal the hatch. Suddenly, a full squad of battle droids bursts into the
plaza. Battle droid commander RK-7 is under orders from Trade Federation Nute
Gunray himself to ensure that the forged document reach the Trade Federation,
and to secure the shuttle to provide a handy escape for the viceroy should
Darth Maul fail to dispatch the two Jedi who assist in the Naboo attack.

03:04:22 Battle of Naboo Mid Rim [O-17]: in orbit around Naboo
day: In orbit around
Naboo, Anakin Skywalker is caught up in the midst of a dogfight between Naboo
and Trade Federation starfighters. Still struggling to get the Naboo N-1 starfighter off autopilot, he
continues to avoid engagement with the enemy mostly because his craft is flying
in an erratic, evasive manner. With the help of R2-D2, he finally manages to
regain control of the starfighter. As an enemy fighter drifts into his sights
ahead, Anakin brings his ship into firing position behind the Trade Federation
craft, and frantically searches for the laser guns release-switch. R2-D2 beeps,
and Anakin punches the button the astromech indicated, but instead of releasing
the firing mechanism, it accelerates the fighter right past the enemy ship. Now
the Trade Federation fighter is on his tail, maneuvering into firing position
against him. Panicking, he streaks toward the droid control ship, with the
enemy fighter still following him. Hitting the vessel’s reverse thrusters, the N-1 slows immediately down, and the Trade
Federation droid fighter shoots by, loosing control and crashing into the
looming droid control ship.
Under the command of veteran starfighter pilot
Ric Olié, the Naboo starfighter squadron Bravo Flight begins its attack on the
Trade Federation droid control ship, but the attack proves fruitless as the
enemy deflector shield is too strong to penetrate. Meanwhile, Anakin is chased
by another droid starfighter. The enemy vessel fires and hits his fighter,
sending it into a spin, heading right for the Trade Federation’s droid control
ship. The young boy manages to regain control as the ship enters the droid
control ship’s hangar, dodging parked transport ships and other obstacles. A
huge bulkhead blocks his way, and Anakin tries to stop his starfighter. He hits
the reverse thrusters and the N-1 skids to a stop on the Trade Federation
hangar deck. R2-D2 gives a worried whistle as Anakin ducks down to adjust a
control panel to try to restart the system. But the young boy comes to the
conclusion that everything is overheated. Outside, Trade Federation battle
droids start approaching the Naboo N-1 starfighter.

day: Inside the power generator pit in Theed Palace, the lightsaber battle between Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, his Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi and the Sith Lord Darth Maul continues. Maul enters a long hallway filled with a series of deadly electron rays that go on and off in a pulsing pattern which shoots down the corridor every standard minute or so. Maul makes it down several walls of deadly beams before they close. Qui-Gon is one wall away from the Sith Lord while Obi-Wan is five walls away from Maul. The Jedi must wait until the next pulse to advance down the corridor. Obi-Wan is impatient and paces, waiting for the walls to open. Qui-Gon sits and meditates while Darth Maul tries to patch up his wounds. Suddenly, the wall between Qui-Gon and Maul opens. The Jedi Master and the Sith Lord continue their lightsaber battle. They move into the area at the end of the corridor called the melting pit, a small area that is mostly made up of a deep hole. As the electron ray gates begin to close, Obi-Wan Kenobi tries to make it to the melting pit, but is caught one gate short. Qui-Gon Jinn and Darth Maul battle around the melting pit as a frustrated Obi-Wan watches. Darth Maul catches Qui-Gon off guard, and he makes a quick move: the blade of the Sith Lord’s lightsaber catches him directly in the midsection, its brilliant length burning through clothing and flesh and bone. Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn drops to his feet as his lightsaber clatters to the stone floor..

day: In the Royal Palace, the captured Queen
Amidala, still disguised as the Royal Handmaiden Padmé, Captain Panaka of the
Royal Naboo Security Forces and six of his officers are brought to the Palace
Throne Room by ten B1-series battle droids. They are brought before Trade
Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray, his aide Rune Haako and four Neimoidian Council
members. Nute tells the Queen that her little insurrection is at an end and
that it is time for her to sign the treaty which allows the Trade Federation to
occupy Naboo. Suddenly, Royal Handmaiden Sabé, dressed like the Queen, appears
in the doorway with several Naboo Security officers. She tells the Viceroy that
she will not sign any treaty. Confused to see a second queen, the Viceroy tells
the battle droids to go after her since they apparently captured a decoy. Six
of the ten Baktoid Combat Automata B1-series battle droids rush out of the
throne room after Sabé. Amidala slumps down on her throne and immediately hits
a security button that opens a panel in her desk. She grabs two blasters,
tosses one of them to Panala and one to an officer, takes a third blaster
herself and blasts the last of the battle droids in the throne room. The Naboo
Security officers rush to the door control panel as Amidala hits the switch to
close the door. The officer at the door jams the controls. Panaka throws more
blasters to the other guards, while the Neimoidians look confused and afraid.
Queen Amidala turns to Viceroy Nute Gunray, telling him that this is the end of
the Trade Federation occupation of Naboo. But the Viceroy counters that soon,
hundreds of destroyer droids will break into the throne room to rescue them.
Giving him a hard look, Amidala mentions that before help arrives, they will
have negotiated a new treaty and he will have signed it by then.

day: Obi-Wan Kenobi screams in anger as the
pulsing electron gate opens. Sith Lord Darth Maul immediately attacks him. Both
Force-users fling objects at each other as they fight, but Darth Maul seems to
have the upper hand as Obi-Wan grows weary. The Sith Lord catches the Jedi
Padawan offguard, and Obi-Wan Kenobi slips into the melting pit. He is barely
able to hold onto a nozzle on the side of the pit as Darth Maul kicks his
lightsaber down the endless shaft.
Darth Maul is going in for the kill, when suddenly Obi-Wan Kenobi jumps out of the pit. The Padawan calls Qui-Gon Jinn’s lightsaber to him, throwing Darth Maul off. The young Jedi swings with a vengeance, cutting the Sith Lord down, and Darth Maul falls into the melting pit to his apparent death.
Obi-Wan Kenobi rushes over to his Jedi
Master, Qui-Gon Jinn, who is dying. Qui-Gon tells his Padawan that it is too
late for him, and asks him to promise that he will train the Force-sensitive
Anakin Skywalker. Obi-Wan gives his word, and with his last breath, Qui-Gon
Jinn tells Obi-Wan that Anakin is the Chosen One who will bring balance to the
Force.
Then, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn dies.

03:04:22 Battle of Naboo Mid Rim [O-17]: in orbit around Naboo
day: Force-sensitive Anakin Skywalker is still
hiding in the Naboo N-1 starfighter which he landed in the Trade Federation’s
droid control ship hangar. The young boy peeks over the edge of the cockpit to
see B1-series
battle droids surrounding the ship. The lights on the dashboard indicate that
the N-1
is still overheated. The battle droid captain walks up to the starfighter and
sees the astromech droid R2-D2. He asks where the pilot of the starfighter is,
and R2-D2 replies that he is the pilot. As the battle droid captain asks for
some identification, Anakin sees the dashboard lights go from red to green. He
flips the switch and the N-1’s engine starts. The battle droid captain notices
the young boy and orders him to come out of the cockpit, but instead, Anakin
activates the shields. He flips a switch and the starfighter levitates,
knocking over the battle droid captain. The other droids start blasting, but
the blaster bolts are deflected by the starfighter’s shields.
Anakin begins firing the lasers as the
ship begins to rotate. He presses a button and launches two torpedoes which
miss the B1-series battle droids and fly down a hallway where they explode inside
the reactor room. Anakin fires up the ship’s engines, and the N-1 starfighter
roars through the hangar deck, bouncing over the battle droids. As he roars
through the hangar bay towards the exit, Anakin is suddenly overcome by a dark
wave of pain and sadness [through
the Force, he senses the death of Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn].
On the bridge of the Trade Federation
droid control ship in orbit, Tey How turns to Captain Daultay Dofine, reporting
that they are losing power as a result of a problem with the main reactor.
Daultay remarks that that is impossible. At that moment, the entire bridge
explodes.

day: The Naboo Bravo Flight squadron is
fiercingly fighting the many Trade Federation droid starfighters around the
droid control ship in orbit around the occupied world of Naboo, as Bravo Flight
leader Ric Olié watches in amazement as the battleship starts to explode from
the inside out. Then, Bravo Two reports that one of their N-1 starfighters
is coming out of the droid control ship’s main hold.
Bravo
Flight regroups and heads back to Naboo. Anakin Skywalker, responsible for the
destruction of the Droid Control Ship, tries to contact them via comlink, but
his communications are dead. All he can do is limp back to Naboo behind them in
his damaged N-1
starfighter.

Royal Palace on stop. Captain Panaka of the Royal Naboo
security Forces, trapped in the Royal throneroom with Queen Amidala and the
captured Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray, is surprised that everything
goes silent. All sound of weapons fire and droid movement beyond the battered
throne room doors have ceased. Amidala tells him to try communications and to
activate the viewscreens. A Naboo pilot appears on the screen, reporting to
Queen Amidala that their mission has been accomplished. The pilot trains his
cockpit camera on the burning hulk that was the Trade Federation’s droid
control ship. The battle has been won.
Reaching
over the desk, Queen Amidala picks up the Trade Federation’s treaty and tears
it in two, throwing the pieces into the face of Nute Gunray.

day: A group of freelance operatives from the
Naboo Resistance has managed to captured the Neimoidian trade officer Gode
Takrab who had created false evidence that implies that Queen Amidala has
agreed to surrender. Planning to escape Theed by using Gode’s shuttle, the
operatives are engaged in a firefight with a squad of battle droids, led by
commander RK-7, in an open plaza near the generator complex. Suddenly, as a direct result of the destruction of
the Trade Federation’s droid control ship in orbit, all battle droids shut
down.
The entire city of Theed
abruptly grows very quiet. The operatives’ comlink suddenly crackles with
reports from all Naboo units. Minutes later, Captain Panaka of the Royal Naboo Security Forces
contacts the operatives to check on their situation. He also relays a message
from Queen Amidala, who wants to know whether they found the shuttle and the
forged trade agreement in the repair bay. Panaka orders them to report to the
Royal Palace as soon as they can, and to relay the same instructions to any
other resistance fighters they meet.

day: Bravo Flight, led by veteran pilot Ric Olie, lands in
the main hangar on Theed. Anakin Skywalker, who just destroyed the Trade
Federation droid control ship, follows them and sets his Naboo N-1 starfighter
down as well. Ric and the other Bravo pilots gather around Anakin’s ship,
curious as to who flew it during the battle. Anakin sheepishly opens the
cockpit and stands up as the other pilots stare in amazement. The young boy
reluctantly asks them if he is in trouble. The other pilots help him out of the
cockpit and tell him the good news: when the Droid Control Ship exploded, all
the Trade Federation battle droids on Naboo froze up, and Queen Amidala was
able to capture Viceroy Nute Gunray. But then a Palace Guard enters the hangar,
and he tells the pilots that he has heard that the Jedi Knights had defeated
the mysterious assassin. But in the battle, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn had been
killed.

03:04:23 Mid Rim [O-17]: Naboo (outside Theed)
late evening: A group of freelance operatives who had
joined the Naboo Resistance have spent the rest of the day freeing prisoners
from the inernment camps outside the city of Theed. As they tend to the
prisoners in yet another internment camp, a loud roar signals the approach of a
ship. They look up to see the Crescent, a passenger freighter captained by Nuun
Pargen of Alderaan, the very ship that was supposed to take them off Naboo
before the invasion began [03:04:14]. It hovers over the camp for a moment,
then dumps dozens of lifeless battle droids from its cargo bay into an empty
prison enclosure. A cheer goes up from the haggard Naboo as the ship settles to
the ground nearby.
A few moments later, Captain
Nuun Pargen emerges from the Crescent with his daughter Inea, who
looks healthy again. Nuun approaches the operatives, remarking that he has been
looking all over for them. He explains that he has waited as long as he could
at the rendezvous point, and even left them some supplies. But as he was
attracting way too much attention from battle tanks and even a pirate vessel,
he had to move the Crescent. He was on his way back to
the rendezvous point when he lost power right over Lake Paonga: he spent days
under 40 meters of water before some Gungans found him and helped him repair
the vessel’s primary power cell. The Gungans also helped him take care of Inea,
and since then he has been repaying them by clearing away all those
droid-bodies. By way of apology for getting them into all of this mess, Captain
Nuun Pargen offers the freelance operatives to fly them anywhere they would
like to go, free of charge.

03:04:23 Mid Rim [O-17]: Naboo
(Theed)
day: The Force-sensitive boy Anakin Skywalker begins
to record a journal of the events of which he was a part recently. He begins by
writing the following introduction:
The battle is over. There is peace again on Naboo. Through my window I am watching the people of Theed clear away the rubble. Wrecked Trade Federation tanks and the burned battle droids are being towed off. Shattered statues are being put back together. The job of rebuilding this beautiful city will be hard, but the people of Naboo don’t seem to mind. I think they are thankful that they are alive.
I am thankful to be alive, too. I could have been killed many times. I should be happy, but I’m not. A great man gave his life so that these people could live. I will never forget him.
That is why I am writing this journal. So much has happened... I’m afraid it’s too much for me to fully remember. Yet I sense even greater and more important things are coming soon.
The air here on Naboo is damp and warm. As I sit beside the window, the sun feels good on my skin. It is so different from the place I come from.
I am only here for a while. I’m not sure what will happen when I leave, but until then, I will work on this journal.
My name is Anakin Skywalker.
I am nine years old.

morning: A group of students from the Royal House
of Learning, who joined the Naboo Underground during the Trade Federation
invasion of Naboo, help in the clean up of the city. As Rann I-Kanu, Rorworr,
Dané, Arani Korden, Deel Surool, Galak and Sia-Lan Wezz watch a group of
workers toss droid parts in a speeder, one of Queen Amidala’s handmaidens
approach them. She is accompanied by Naboo Underground leader Lucos Dannt and
Lialla Tane, the daughter of Naboo’s Minister of Culture Kyu Tane. The
handmaiden introduces herself as Sabé, and she commends the resistance fighters
for their service to the Queen and her people during the dark days of the
invasion. She has come to ask one more service of them. Sabé explains that they
have learned that a group of Human and Gungan renegades has gathered in the
swamps outside Theed: their leader speaks out against the Queen and the
Naboo-Gungan alliance. Lialla has seen the renegades’ camp and will lead them
there if they agree to scout out the camp and report back on whether or not
these renegades represent a true threat to Naboo.
Once the resistance fighters accept the
mission, they are briefed by Sabé, Lialla and Lucos. Lucos provides them with a
speeder and gives each of them a field kit. Sabé returns to Queen Amidala’s
side but remarks that she anxiously awaits the mission’s team report. Moments
later, the group begins their half-day journey into the swamps. (note: Invasion of Theed Adventure Game – Adventures Book states that these events occur the day before the
victory celebration)

03:04:25 Mid Rim [O-17]: Naboo (Theed)
late day: Jedi Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi stands in a temple of the
Royal Palace in which the deaths of heroes are mourned and their lives
celebrated. Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn’s body lies in state on a bier in the
plaza just outside, awaiting cremation. Already the citizenry and officials of
the Naboo and the Gungan peoples are gathering to honor the Jedi Master.
Obi-Wan paces as the Jedi Council is speaking with young Anakin Skywalker in
the adjacent Turret Room, making a final assessment based on what had
transpired since their last session with the boy [03:04:19].
He is thinking about his former Master as Jedi Master Yoda enters the room.
After Obi-Wan Kenobi relates the events leading up to the death of Qui-Gon,
Yoda tells him that the Jedi Council grants him the title of Jedi Knight. But
Yoda mentions that he does not agree with Obi-Wan taking on young Anakin as his
Padawan learner: although Anakin might be the Chosen One, he fears grave danger
in the boy’s training. Obi-Wan responds that he gave Qui-Gon Jinn word that he
will train the boy, and that he will do so, with or without the Council’s
approval. Sensing Qui-Gon Jinn’s defiance in Obi-Wan, Yoda tells him that the
Jedi Council agrees in his choice and that Anakin will be his apprentice. (note:
the Star Wars
Episode I: The Phantom Menace novelization
states that these events occur “three days later”, thus three days after the
end of the Battle of Naboo)

sunset: At the Funeral Temple in the city of Theed’s Central
Plaza, the body of Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn goes up in flames. Present are the
members of the Jedi Council, Qui-Gon’s former apprentice and newly-Jedi Knight
Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Force-sensitive Anakin Skywalker, Queen Amidala of Naboo,
Supreme Chancellor of the Republic Palpatine, Naboo Governor Sio Bibble,
Captain Panaka of the Royal Naboo Security Forces, the Royal Handmaidens and
about one hundred Naboo troops, twenty additional Jedi, Jar Jar Binks, Boss
Nass and twenty Gungan warriors. When a ceremonial drum roll stops, doves are
released. Young Anakin looks up Kenobi who explains that Qui-Gon Jinn is now
one with the Force.
To one side, Jedi Master Mace Windu turns
to Yoda, telling him that there is no doubt that the mysterious warrior was a
Sith. Yoda replies that there are always two Sith; a master and an apprentice.
Mace wonders which one was destroyed during the battle.
Leaving the Funeral Temple, Anakin has tears
in his eyes. He looks up to Obi-Wan who comforts the boy and tells him that the
Jedi Council has granted him permission to train the former slave boy to become
a Jedi Knight.

sunset: After the funeral of Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn,
Queen Amidala seeks out Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi. Although the people of
Theed have called for a victory parade, and one had been scheduled for
tomorrow, Amidala wants to call it off as a joyous parade feels wrong with
Qui-Gon gone. But Obi-Wan explains that his Master not only valued celebration,
he enjoyed it: he believed in Amidala’s cause and he would want to march at the
head of that victory parade, enjoying every minute of it. Finally, Amidala
nods, telling Obi-Wan that she will go, but only if he rides besides her as it
is his and Qui-Gon’s victory as well. As Obi-Wan remarks that it will be an
honor, the Queen of Naboo states that they will celebrate Qui-Gon’s victory
tomorrow, and mourn his loss forever.

1. Star Wars: Invasion of Theed Adventure Game –
Adventures Book (Adventure 5 – Renegade: pages 26 - 30)
03:04:25 Mid Rim [O-17]: Naboo
sunset - night: A group of students from the Royal House
of Learning, who joined the Naboo Underground during the Trade Federation
invasion of Naboo, has agreed to a mission. Lialla Tane, the daughter of
Naboo’s Minister of Culture Kyu Tane, leads Rann I-Kanu, Rorworr, Dané, Arani
Korden, Deel Surool, Galak and Sia-Lan Wezz into the swamps outside Theed to
scout out a camp of Human and Gungan renegades, whose leader speaks out against
the Queen and the Naboo-Gungan alliance.
They have been traveling for almost eight
hours when a large tree suddenly falls directly in their path. Barely managing
to evade it, the speeder comes to a stop. Immediately thereafter a vicious
swamp beast appears. The three-meters-long grakkt smashes the speeder, throwing
the resistance fighters from the vehicle. Then the grakkt turns on them. The
resistance fighters manage to wound the creature, and it flees back into the
swamp. The speeder is too badly damaged to use, and the group decide to walk
towards the camp.
Lialla leads the group through the swamp,
when she suddenly disappears into quicksand. With the help of the rest, she
manages to struggle to safety.
A few hours later, they reach a portion of
the swamp that seems even darker and more oppressive than anything they have
encountered thus far. Rann I-Kanu feels the presence of the dark side of the
Force in the mutated grove ahead: the feeling seems centered around a huge
tangler tree near the center of the grove.
As the resistance fighters move on, more
signs of an ancient culture struggle to remain visible in the ever-encroaching
swamp. A thick mist has arisen along the floor of the swamp. Then, a figure
steps out of the mist. He wears a flowing black robe and carries a lightsaber.
With a flick of his wrist he throws back his hood, revealing a face of pure
evil. His skin is tattooed with a red and black pattern, and a crown of thorns
just from the top of his head. He smiles, igniting both ends of his
double-bladed lightsaber. The illusory dark lord does not speak, but threatens
the group with his lightsaber, attempting to make them flee. From nearby, Savor
Kibbs, who was rejected by the Jedi Council but nevertheless possesses a
powerful link to the Force, controls the illusion of Darth Maul with the help
of the dark side nexus, hoping to drive the group away without killing them.
But when he realizes that the resistance fighters are not scared off, Savor
ends the illusion and quickly returns to his base.
The resistance fighters finally reach the
renegades’ camp, located in an ancient building. About a dozen Humans and
Gungans stand among the ruins, awaiting the unwelcome visitors. Lialla and her
group enter the camp without a problem. A tough-looking woman shouts at them,
telling them that they are so blinded by Amidala’s beauty that they do not see
the doom she has brought upon Naboo: if they allow her to fortify her alliance
with the Gungans, she will lead all of them to destruction. The resistance
fighters argue and discuss with the renegade followers. One of the Gungans
points out that it was the Queen who brought the Trade Federation invasion upon
them, pointing out that Savor Kibbs would make a much better leader.
From nearby, Savor realizes he has to
eliminate these emissaries of Queen Amidala before he can put a stop to the
upcoming victory celebration. He decides to unleash the weapon he has been
saving to use against the Queen and activates the destroyer droid he has had
repaired and equipped with a droid brain, allowing it to function even though
the droid control ship has been destroyed.
The droideka rolls out into the camp to
confront the resistance fighters. Behind it, Savor Kibbs appears. After a
fierce battle, the droideka’s shields fail. Savor, realizing that he has lost
this battle, flees into the swamp. Moments later, his followers, who did not
participate in the battle, emerge from the cloud of dark side influence and
appear confused and unsure of where they are. They turn to the resistance
fighters for help, seeking to return to Theed or the Gungan settlements. (note: Invasion of Theed Adventure Game – Adventures Book states that these events occur the day before the
victory celebration)

night: Darth Sidious, Dark Lord of the Sith, stands alone on
a balcony overlooking the city of Theed, contemplating the recent events
leading up to the Battle of Naboo [03:04:22]. Years of training had gone into the
preparation of Darth Maul as a Sith Lord, and now he was gone, killed by the
Jedi apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi, Padawan of Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn. He would
need to train another apprentice, and such a one would not be easy to find.
Sidious promised himself that those responsible for killing Maul would be held
accountable, and those who had opposed him would not be forgotten. All would be
made to pay. Still, he had gotten what he wanted most, laying the groundwork
for what was needed. The day of reckoning would come about soon enough.

day: At the Central Plaza, there is a grand parade to
publicly recognize the newfound alliance of the Naboo and Gungan peoples, to
celebrate their hard-fought victory over the Trade Federation invaders, and to
honor those who had fought to secure the planet’s freedom. Crowds line the
streets of Theed as columns of Gungan warriors astride kaadu and Naboo soldiers
aboard speeders ride through the city to the sounds of cheering and singing.
Fambaa lumber down the avenues, draped in rich silks and embroidered harnesses.
Several captured Trade Federation tanks hover amidst the marchers. Jar Jar
Binks and General Ceel lead the Gungans, both riding their kaduu.
The parade winds through the central plaza
to where the Queen and her guests view the procession. She stands with her
handmaidens, Naboo Governor Sio Bibble, Supreme Chancellor of the Republic
Palpatine, Boss Nass of the Gungans, and the twelve members of the Jedi
Council. Young Anakin Skywalker stands with Jedi Knight Obi-Wan
Kenobi near Queen Amidala. The astromech droid R2-D2 occupies a space just
below the handmaidens and next to Anakin and Obi-Wan.
Queen
Amidala hands Boss Nass the Globe of Peace, and the Gungan leader holds it over
his head. The crowds go wild as on the broad avenue below, the parade continues.
(note: the Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace novelization states that these events occur “the
following day.”)

Dark Lord of the Sith Darth
Sidious finds the journal of his apprentice, the killed Sith Lord Darth Maul.
Upon reading it, he decides to complete the journal, based upon what he has
learned. Sidious ends his voice-recordings by stating that the events on Naboo
are merely a setback. He suspects the Jedi, now that they know that the Sith
are still operating, to srategize and move against him. Sidious also remarks
that perhaps he had made a mistake in choosing Darth Maul as his apprentice. He
mentions that for his next apprentice, he will choose more carefully. He will
select someone who has hate and fear in him, who has something in his heart
that has gone cold, something that he can work on to expand into ruthlessness.
But there has to be great cunning and intelligence as well.
Darth Sidious does not
yet know what he will do with Darth Maul’s jounal, either enter it in the Sith
archives or destroy it, as it is a record of miscalculation, a record of Maul’s
vanity and weakness.

evening: Surprised and annoyed that
his Padawan is not in his Jedi Temple quarters, Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi
finds Anakin Skywalker talking to Padawan A’Sharad Hett. Like Anakin, A’Sharad
hails from the Outer Rim world of Tatooine. Obi-Wan, already briefed about the
recent mission of Jedi Ki-Adi-Mundi who had been sent to Tatooine to
investigate a report of a Tusken Raider who wielded a lightsaber, welcomes the
son a Sharad Hett to the Jedi Temple. He tells A’Sharad that his father was a
great Jedi, and allows Anakin and A’Sharad to talk for ten minutes more.
After fifteen minutes,
Anakin arrives back at his quarters, and excitedly tells Obi-Wan about A’Sharad
Hett’s next mission: he is to accompany Ki-Adi-Mundi to Malastare. Obi-Wan
Kenobi reminds his young Padawan to keep up with his meditation excercises. (note: Star Wars: The Life and
Legend of Obi-Wan Kenobi states that these events occur “several weeks”
after “Obi-Wan had taken Anakin as his Padawan” on 03:04:25)
