Anakin won a thrilling yet deadly Podrace, which earned enough money to pay for their ship’s replacement parts, and the group left for Coruscant. Their starship damaged in battle, Padmé and crew made an emergency landing on Tatooine, where they met young slave boy Anakin Skywalker. The two escaped to Naboo, where they connected with Padmé and fled the planet upon the Trade Federation’s surprise invasion. When Jedi Knights Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi were sent to negotiate a truce with the Trade Federation, the organization’s leader, Nute Gunray - acting on the guidance of Darth Sidious - attempted to kill them instead.
Senator Palpatine, Naboo’s galactic representative, debated the issue in the Congress of the Republic, but to little avail.
With the taxation of trade routes in dispute, the Trade Federation set up a blockade of battleships around the star system, stopping all shipping to the planet. Padmé Amidala’s reign as the elected Queen of Naboo took place during a time of great change for the planet.
